How timely I spent most of the day online or on the phone tire hunting. This is not an easy chore. I may have a '92 but the wheels are '95. I took a hard look at the Yokohama's but all the feedback screamed they were way too noisy regardless of all the handling capabilities (treadwear...

AHHH - more material for the book! :L

For me, that's not really bad news. Had another tire debate yesterday and Goodyear's reputation for Vette's isn't bad- I guess depending on who you talk to. I like to stay stock - car looks "right" that way. But still haven't made the final decision.

I wouldn't touch that line with a 10 foot pole!!!! :L :L

Did I miss something? Or was there a full moon. Racer - I can assure you many of us will never know that sound.

Why I believe you do. And may you never run out of gas.:w

Thanks Restless, I will add these tires to the pile (so to speak). I almost missed your reply but I had to burn a copy of this thread cause I thought it was so darn funny. Good material for my book - "Mothers Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Car Buffs"...

Yeah - that's what it kinda sounds like, Mike. I should be so lucky. Shortly after my last repair I found about a 1.5 inch clamp on my driveway and was praying it came from another car. I believe c4c5 has mentioned the benefits of positive venting earlier in this thread. I will definitely...

Ok - so what is the function of positive venting? I was driving today and noticed a God awful rattle on the down stroke at around 1200 rpm coming from what I presume was under the passenger seat area although it is hard to tell from inside the car. I just sit there and think...now what??? :mad

Topless - Actually the locks and chains are on the door to keep'm in (think Rocky Horror Picture Show). And we certainly do have more than our fair share of chips and dips, chads, terrorists, anthrax, etc. in south FL. Also the highest number of Corvettes registered in the good old US of A...

No problem - hope he does you well. Nice lousy weather we got today for New Year's Eve, huh! I have to see how well my wax job is going to hold up. Love those little beadies.

Hey listen I don't want to ruin this guy's thread on gas tank capacity but at quick glance I though your pic of the '84 had you yanking the wheels. Is it an optical illusion or is there some weight distribution attributing to the incline? One too many Bacardi's on my part????:t

Interesting. I just put a set of off brand Kelly's on my El Camino for low bucks and a pretty good ride. But the Goodyear's on the Vette are almost 7 years old and the only reason they really have to go is dry rot - my usual tire killer.

Oddly, Mike, they all still work. I just didn't notice the main support wasn't quite hooked and jostled the hood while replacing the air filter. It came down gently giving me an opportunity to ease it down with my right arm. Which now is extremly black and blue. The next big expense is tires...

I make so many other dumb mistakes I just had to capitalize on the one that I haven't made - yet. As a matter of fact, my mechanic just gave me a safety tip on how to wedge a screw driver in the hood support bar (non-technical name) so that it doesn't accidentally come down on me.......again...

Let's hear a round of applause for those of us who have never run out of fuel. Sometime you will have to tell me how you let that happen (unless your gas guage is broken). When I was a kiddie bouncing on my daddy's knee, I was told if you let your tank get close to empty, all the crap in the...

Thanks - Carlos didn't think the manifold leak was worth the effort and money at this point. I made a note of the injector cleaner for future reference. Nice to know someone else is up this early!

Vette Tech? Is that like Sanitation Engineer?:Roll

Oh yes, stylin' in California. :cool

Ahhh C4ever - but I do... CAM Automotive, 1111 NE 8 Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, 832-0144, Tues thru Sat, (yes Sat) 8a - 5p. They do not stop what they are doing to answer the phone, thank God, so you will have to leave a message unless you call right at 8 am. Carlos is the owner/mechanic, tell him I...
