    going to las vegas-gas available?

    I have not heard of any gas shortages (other then N.O. and the Miss/Ala coast). Just much higher prices :(

    How to identify Matching Numbers on a 1976

    There is a machined surface on the block in front of the passanger side head (may be hard to see as could be under A/C compressor brackets). Two sets of numbers stamped there. One should end with the last 5-6 of the VIN. tom...

    R-24 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Interesting, only $12.00/lb difference. At that there is no need to convert the system, so stay with what the system was designed for :D

    R-24 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    That was an option in the C-1. Is now an option on the C-6. None in-between.

    Has anyone bought or sold to CarMax?

    Last year I was looking at trading my truck for a new one. Was end of model year so the dealer was working off of invoice price on the truck rather than the sticker price. As such they could not inflate the trade in amount as they were not making it up in the sale price. I took the truck to...

    Oil Life System

    No such thing as an oil monitor sensor. The oil life is monitored by the computer which monitors/measures such things as miles, driving habits, oil temps, rpms, etc to determin when the oil should be changed. The service manual for mine says that you should change oil when the CHANGE OIL...

    Three important staements HELP OIL CHANGE

    The service manual for the '04 Vette states to change the oil when the CHANGE ENGINE OIL light come on. It goes on to say that the "oil and filter must be changed at least once a year". So it is simple, change when the DIC tells you to or once a year, which ever comes first.

    Does GMPP cover Mag Ride Shocks?

    Ask for a copy of the warranty and see what it says. They can tell you anything, but what the warranty says is what rules.

    '04 to '05 decision

    I Agree! I bought a new '04 at the end of the model year when they had the huge discounts and great financing. Considered a new '05, I do like them, but decided to wait a couple of years for the bugs to go away :) Once they get the bugs out, and if they can come up with something for the...

    General C5 preference questions... years, etc.

    Tim, you sound like me. I too had a 90 coupe. Sold it and bought a new '04 at the end of the model year (Nov 04) and got great discounts with hard to beat financing (0%) :D I would go with as new of a C5 as you can afford. As others have said, they made improvements and refinments every...

    How do I find the vaule of my 81 vette?

    Put it on EBay and see what they will bid for it. Just put it out there with an unreal reserve so that it will not be met, unless you may want to sell it if the price gets up there. Will cost you the EBay listing fee but is less than the cost of an appraisal. tom...
