Yes, the run flats are the way to go, I have them on two of the Corvettes, but had to go to non-run flats (Bridgestones) on the Z06 since they are not made in the C5 Z06 size. I have GYs on the 08 and Michelin A/S Sports on the 2002 Coupe. They are not as noisy as the original GY run flats on...

When I was in high school in the mid 1950s, I wanted a red Jeep. Then I saw a 1953 Corvette and I was hooked immediately. I've been in them for 50 years and in my opinion there is no better car made or that I want to own and drive. I use 4 wheel drives in the winter, but when it comes time to...

Greg, just telling like it is; your vette is very distinctive and worthy of praise. Voted again. Barrett

Just voted for the first time. You need to update you avatar to show the current RED stable in operating condition, not sitting on the box. The C1 is already the star of the 2011 calendar. I am a RED corvette fan also, but love them all. Greg's LT4 is a show stopper also. Barrett

Welcome to the CAC; hope you can come to CF in Effingham to meet some of us personally. I am a little confused - from your first post, I was under the impression that you have 5 corvettes currently, but your last post was in the past tense and indicated that you currently own the Z06 and the...

Great photo, but I hope that the driveway is the only place where the '54 sees it. The corvette should never venture into the snow covered streets, no matter how much pleading it offers to go play in the white stuff. One can really tell the difference between Polo White and Snow White (not the...

70 years young and still driving the corvettes, all three are 6 speed. Wouldn't have it any other way. As for the mechanic part, I do what I can, but I don't like crawling under vehicles anymore and I don't have the ceiling space for a lift (all of my cars are garaged). Fortunately for me, I...

It is my opinion that you should keep an eye and ear on them as once they get re-acquainted, they tend to take over one's life. It's taken a while for my 3 vettes to reconcile the fact that only one can be driven at a time and that I try to give them equal opportunities to cruise. I am sure...

Billy was correct about the Days Inn, but that was last year. I am not sure if the hotel has been selected for tht 2011 event or if the rates have been established. I too have locked in most of my schedule for 2011 events and one event in 2012 [NCCC convention in Topeka, KS]. Of course, the CAC...

I replace air filters in my blazers with Frams and have not had a problem, but I use ACs, K&N or NAPA air filters in my corvettes, but Frams will probably work okay, but I do not intend to use them as there are better ones out there that grab more stuff out of the air flow. I have a Vararam in...

I used to drive my C2 SWC in Alaska in the snow and it did great. Drove my 66's (convertible and coupe) in the snow in the Denver area as they were my DDs and they did great too. The 02 Z06 and 08 convertible are resting comfortably in storage now, but the 02 coupe will be out tonight on my...

When I received the Auto Enthusiast Mag, I almost thru it out without looking at it. Then I saw that it was a new mag replacing Corvette Enthusiast. Was I ever disappointed, I am not interested in the other cars at all. I just want Corvette only. Now I am stuck with about 3 years of the mag...

Thanks for the good news Herb. Your corvette can only make this edition a great calendar. Glad you posted a request for votes. Congratulations. Barrett

You could take part of the money and hire a hit person who could make it look like an accident - maybe at a barber shop - and then approach the wife/daughter. I'll bet this guy has had more visitors on the corvette that have been just as mad as you were. I guess it was nice of him to let you...

Herb, Followed your directions and was able to vote 5 times today for your red 1960 - what a beauty - with no problems. Hope you win. Would be great if you could enter all of your red corvettes and win each one for the calendar. Tried to vote a sixth time, but it wouldn't let me. Barrett

You're welcome, that's what the CAC is all about, helping. Don't give up, maybe you should try some salvage yards on line such as Tabor Corvette Parts, or e-bay. You might get lucky, but keep on searching. Barrett

If Kevin is as good as you say he is, then he probably ran a pressure test to determine if the cooling system was tight. Barrett

When I had my 94 vert, I purchased two new luggage racks, one on e-bay and the other from the GM dealer. Was told by dealer I had purchased the last one GM had in stock (2006) as far as they could tell. Installed one and sold the other to a friend on the CAC. For information purposes, if you...

Some people start their cars at least once per month while in storage - it has been recommended in several Corvette magazines. If one starts the corvette during storage periods, the recommendations are for leaving the car running for at least 20 minutes to get the temp up to norm to eliminate...

Jane Ann, it is a good idea to check your coolant now that the recovery reservoir has been replaced just to make sure that was the only leak. The reservoir is a pressurized reservoir, and no air gets in. Hib was correct in loss of coolant thru the head gasket. I had that happen to my 56 back in...
