The headlights are vented and sometimes moisture gets inside when you wash the car or drive in the rain, this is normal. Turning your headlights on burns it away.

Several years ago when I was living on the mainland I bought an almost new car off a well-known auction website (dumb I know but the guy had 100% feedback). The car was still under factory warranty, so if there were anything wrong with it I figured the warranty would cover it. Anyway, I got...

Really nice color, looks great.

I stopped using armorall years ago. I only use a damp sponge to wipe down the interior, that's all it really needs.

I like the push-button start, no fumbling with keys. I also like the door buttons, the outer door pad, and the indexing windows.

This is the best car I have ever owned in my life.

When I had my c4 convertible, there was a little less head room when the hard top was installed. I just barely fit in that car, I think I had one inch of clearance above my head.

I'm afraid I have to agree with dogfish on this one, IMHO the c4 is the last of the truly great "driver's corvettes". After owning and enjoying c4s for many years I bought a 2008 a year ago. The car is flawless, it rides and drives perfectly, it's quiet, comfortable, has tons of storage...

This is about the strangest, most bizarre thing I have ever read about the C6. I have not read this in any company literature nor have I seen it anywhere else on the internet. Do you have a source for this information? I find it surprising only because Chevrolet has worked for decades in...

I changed out a front spring on my old c4 a few years ago and it was pretty straightforward. Not sure if I understand your question correctly. The rubber pieces are there to keep the spring from rubbing against bare metal, which will eventually destroy the spring. Also on a convertible the...

I always find these armchair speculations amusing. In the absence of an actual race, no one will ever know for sure.

I laugh at you people talking about your car's falling value. Cars are not investments! Well, a few of them are, but they are only bought by millionaires and they cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars. The corvette is a sports car that is meant to be driven and enjoyed; if you worry so...

As a past owner of several c4s, I speak from experience in saying that the cs-130 alternator is a piece of junk. On all the c4s I owned, the alternator was the part that failed time and again. On my 86 alone I replaced the alternator five times in eight years, I don't know why it was designed...

These quotes are factually inaccurate: "The Chevy felt unweildly [sic] on California's tight coastal roads" "The suspension handles minor bumps without upset, but the residual vibrations can be felt through the whole car." "The Lows: Chassis Flex, Slow reacting slushbox, rental car interior"...

I think I'm getting a headache.

If done properly, 134a cools almost as well as r12 (within a couple of degrees) so there is no need to stick with r12 unless you want to pay through the nose for the original refrigerant. You don't need a special condenser or compressor, the stock parts will work fine with 134a, including the...

I bought a set of al knoch mounted leather seat covers for my c4 several years ago. They looked really nice when I put them in, three months later the drivers side bolster was worn through. I've never seen such poor workmanship or cheap leather in my life. I have a 20-year-old black leather...

Every once in a while you come across a perfect example of why you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. When researching technical repair information for my car, I have always carefully gleaned a solution from the consensus instead of trusting one person's advice, but that's...

I'm not really loving it, do we really need yet another iteration of the c6? Let's see, we have the base model, the Z06, the ZR1, now the grand sport. Why stop there, I think the time has come for a Corvette Sportswagon, or a Corvette SUV. The big question is this: Do hash marks and shark...

I have had several c4s as daily drivers and I managed fine for thirteen years. If you buy a c5, try to keep your c4 if you have the space, you'll find that it has much more of "go cart" feel, you are much more connected to the road than in the c5 or c6, and you really feel like you're a part of...
