    Loss of value

    I understand a person not wanting to buy a vehicle that has been hit. But what I can't figure is why should the value be diminished by 10k, just because it was hit. It's being repaired by a GM facility? To GM Standards? With GM parts? Are they a quality facility that's trying to do a quality...

    Deputies using Corvette to catch speeders

    Michigan did not use a Corvette as a patrol car. The State Police did however utilize Mustangs and Camaros as traffic enforcement cars, in the early 90's but they were fully marked. The MSP currently utilizes several semi-marked Ford Crowne Victorias in various colors such as light blue, grey...

    Corvette models

    I like all generations, but if I had to pinpoint one specific Corvette it would be the '73 because I did not like the combination of the chrome rear bumper and the polyeurathane front bumper. Second would be the '74 with the split in the rear bumper. Other than that, I like them all.

    What is the average lifetime for brakes?

    18,000 miles on my '07 Z06, with original pads still on the vehicle. Normal driving, but I do autocross it from time to time. Basically it depends on your driving style, as stated before. :thumb

    Best Price? Good Deal or Great Deal

    Sal, Just look at Ebay and watch how a lot of '06's are either not getting bids or the Buy It Now price is in the high 40' - low 50's. I have a black '07 Z, that I've owned for two years now and love it. The price you're looking at is already down 20k from the car's original price. It will...
