Only met Remo and Guy once, at the CF in Colorado Springs. I enjoyed their daily update of their trip to Colorado, Guy And Remo's great adventure. Remo was extremely open to making friends with whomever he met, especially if you drove a vette. Not only have we lost Jane Ann and Remo, but my...

I never had the opportunity to meet JA as she was not at any of the cruise fests I attended, but she took me under her wing and helped me with "posting pictures" on the web site. When I still didn't get it, she promised that she would instruct me at the next CF in Effingham. Alas, she could not...

I talked with the General Manager of Daniels-Long Chev in Colorado Springs (our corvette club sponsor) about the C7 prices and C6s. He said that while many buyers will like the C7, he expects that there will be great deals on the 2012s and 13s because they will cost around $15K less than the C7...

Interesting thread. I am reserving my judgement until I actuall get to see a C7 up close and personal, sit in it, etc to make my evaluation. Many thought the rear of the C6 was a departure from the C5 Corvette, and I thought so at first. Grown to love my C6 convertible along with my 2 C5s, so...

Hib is correct, the National Corvette Museum offers the best insurance for the collector cars and it appears yours qualifies. They do not allow errands and the Corvette cannot be a daily driver, but you can drive it to work twice per week. They have several tiers of mileage that would fit your...

I burn CDs of old time radio shows to listen to while driving my Corvettes. My 2008 plays the burned CDs in standard form or MP3. My 02 Z06 plays the burned CDs without a problem. My 02 Coupe has both the dash CD player and the 12 disc changer in the trunk well. Both play without a problem...

Great looking LT4; I'm sure LT4Man will be pleased also. I had a 94 vert with the removable hard top and the lack of luggage space was a problem when it was on. Solved this with a factory luggage rack - they are not available any longer. Did the same with my 66 convertible and 56 convertible...

I am a little confused as the show begins Jan 14; however, I have been invited, and accepted, a preview showing of the C7 the evening of Jan 13 from 4 - 7 pm MST via closed circuit TV. The press doesn't get a view until the next day, and I thought they were to get the first view. Barrett

I've store my 3 vettes every year for 5 to 6 months; I bring the air pressure to 36 psi. Never had a problem with the tires getting a flat spot. My garage is heated, cement floor, keep it about 55 degrees, and don't move them at all. But Catbert's advice is solid. Barrett

It's great that Hib found an inexpensive tire pressure gauge that appears to be accurate - I've had all sorts of issues with the ones I've purchased. The pencil gauges are okay if you get the ones with metal casings and disassemble them monthly for a thorough cleaning. Still should test the...

I had a white SWC, red interior, 4 speed, 300 HP engine, positraction, with standard wheel covers, wonder bar radio, and that was about it. Of all the Corvettes I owned, it is second only to my 1966 426 roadster for a "wish I still had it vehicle". I owned the SWC while stationed in Alaska and...

At the NCM's Annual Celebration over labor day - 2012 - Paul Pearson gave a presentation on Using the 6TH Generation Corvette Navigation System. It was very informative and he had a disc he handed out that gave his power point presentation on the Navigation System. You might want to contact...

The museum added the C-Magic just prior to the Labor Day Anniversary and may not have it in their on-line catalog. You can reach the museum at 1-800-538-3883 and ask for the store. They can help you in the order. Barrett

I agree, use C-Magic. I previously used Ragg Topp and found it to be okay, but C-Magic is much better, and the brush Kermit Dye developed (C-Magic President) really aids in the cleaning. Just before I put the convertible away, I treat the top with the conditioner. You can purchase the C-Magic...

The C4 is a great Corvette and the Ruby is special. You will have one major problem, what Corvette do I drive today - I have the same problem. I just rotate them and continue to take one out at a time until it gets dirty, then I wash it, park it in the garage, and take another one out. Love...

Years ago I purchased the vent locks for my 2002 coupe from Mid America Motor Works for around $50. They work fine and as yours probably do, prevent the DIC message of "hatch open". I like mine and since they came in black matching my interior, I did not have to paint them. Thanks for the...

Thanks for the info Hib - I was just guessing about the source of the article. Am looking forward to the article on the CAC and for more articles in Corvette Magazine. Barrett

Elaine Let Alan drive the GS and you take a pick of the Corvettes at Corvette Mike's to drive to and from work each day, plus all the other days you need one. You can sell them as demonstrators (for the same asking price) and in this way you can find out all that is wrong (if anything) with the...

It appears that Hib Halverson's purchase of his new Z06 is now paying off for the rest of us. I just read his article in the October 2012 issue of Corvette Magazine (my favorite Corvette mag) on the Corvette 427 engine development. I believe the information and insight came from his visit to the...
