    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    This is a Volt. Let's remember we are talking about a car with so few sales, the impact would not be felt whatsoever! Chuck M

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    You're absolutely right but you started the next level with: "A Volt at $42k makes as much sense as a Grand Sport at $70k". THAT was more than silly. You actually put down both cars with that statement. But you own both so that statement actually makes sense to you. I also understand the...

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    Hi catbert: By the way, this is a lively discussion and in NO WAY is intended to be written in malice. We both love Corvettes. Now with that out of the way... You can't help but compare models. When I buy a Corvette there is a cool factor in the price. If we're going to go for a cruise, I'm...

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    So paying 39K+ in order to get 7,500 back is ok for you? I think there's a little brainwashing or something going on. I just looked and dealers are quoting 31K + - and in very very small print (includes $7,500 tax credit). But honey, I spent $39,000 but it was on sale! It's like putting $7,500...

    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    That $7,500 tax credit mentioned is OUR money helping you buy your car!!! I never did like that! We are all paying for that Volt "discount" so it can be more competitive. Take that away and see just how many Volt sales GM would have! Chuck M

    Ethanol free fuel

    I was under the impression that Ethanol fuel cost more than non-ethanol to begin with. Now to get non-ethanol, we would have to pay 25 cents more than the price of 93 octane? 93 octane in Maine is between 4.00 to 4.20 a gallon. Sssoooo normal 87 octane that we got before this ethanol crap...

    Whats it Worth...........................

    It's true, the WHOLE Corvette market is soft. I read the C4's Buyer's Market in Magazine Corvette not too long ago (July 2012 Edition). They were calling a 1990 ZR-1 at 27K to 35K for good to show-ready. They also state this includes a drop of 20%. I see more than 20% in real life!!! I don't...

    Rear Speakers

    go to www.corvetteamerica.com and search for item # 26328. I've installed several of these and they work well and don't take up much room at all. Chuck M

    Jelopnik gets a warning letter...

    To me, if I have an idea and send it to a manufacturer and have them sign a non-disclosure, both sides should take that very seriously. GM has time to change vendors before the 2014 Corvette goes into production so be very careful Omega Corp. If I were GM, I would hit back hard as well. Just...

    insurance daily driver or not

    Don't forget that if you insure your '81 at $21,000. Take tons of pictures, get an appraisal and document, document, document. If you don't, the insurance company will determine on their lonesome the value of your car. If you try to overvalue your car, it's not the insurance company's fault...

    Unhappy Corvette Owner.

    The distribution switch or proportioning valve is to balance the front and rear brakes. It does not take into account the left and right caliper distribution so I don't believe that will be helping with this. Also, I've never heard of a "loaded" caliper coming with brake pads. That's a new one...

    Help with breaks

    Where are you located in the US. If you're close to me (Monmouth Maine), I invite you to put it on my lift at no charge so we can both have a look. This is a safety issue. Chuck M

    Unhappy Corvette Owner.

    Padgett: I had a 1974 with 40K original miles in my shop about a month ago pulling to the right bad and he hasn't been able to fix it. It had no air in the lines and the calipers did seem to work fine with just a little brake fluid at the left front caliper. I changed out the left front caliper...

    New Article about the C7

    I see sssooo many 84 to 89 C4's for sale that when I see one for over 7K, I wonder why that one is so expensive. The C4's to me are really in trouble. And with some C5's starting to see 12 to 15K, the C4's don't stand a chance! Chuck M

    New Article about the C7

    Maybe some of them are like me...I am anxious for the C7 so the C6's can go down in price. These cars have gotten so refined, there can't be that many huge updates left. Although when I did buy a new C6 in 2007, I did find some refinements at first, then after a few months I could not believe...
