    What to do about Insurance?

    The insurance on my Corvette is lower (per year) than the Toyota Tundra - and it is lower than the Mitsubishi Diamante I used to have. I have Progressive insurance, NAYYY* *Not affiliated, yadda yadda yadda

    Headlights Work - Doors Won’t Open?

    What knob? I guess this is something I should probably know about...:duh

    Squeak - Squeak!

    Jane Ann - have you put the top down to see if the squeak is still there? I have the same annyoing noise but after much detective work have found it is coming from the top frame assembly, somewhere inside the headliner (where of course I can't get to it to lube it). Also my top is a bit out of...

    Headlights Work - Doors Won’t Open?

    I'm waiting to see what the response is, because I have had this same problem lately (except with both headlight doors). The lights come on but the doors don't raise; I can usually get them to raise on the 2nd or 3rd try. No noises, and the battery is fine.

    Be Cool: Common Pitfalls For The C5 Owner, And how To Avoid Them

    Since it was around 80 degrees this afternoon, I drove home with the top down (I believe it is a contractual obligation, I'll have to check the papers I signed when I bought the car). Boy does THAT ever pi$$ off the soccer moms in their SUVs! :upthumbs :w :Steer

    Cross country road trip

    Dude - it's AREA 51. :rotfl (I have to admit that I have been down Hwy 93 - goes North-South along the Utah side - at speeds in excess of 100) (I do have my license plate # blocked out on that avatar picture, don't I?) Signed, Er - Not Pinky

    5 yrs and still on stock batt

    So are you saying that the headlights not popping up when turned on are a warning? It's only happened twice in the last month. Guess I'll have the battery checked tomorrow before I head to San Francisco for the day. With my luck I'd be stuck in a parking garage in the middle of the night -...

    5 yrs and still on stock batt

    Well mine was built 10/04/97, 30,980 miles, original battery. I push start it out of the garage every day. I also have 3 sets of seat covers per seat and drive with surgical booties on the tires. ;LOL

    Cross country road trip

    Although it may be very tempting to try it out in Nevada, with all those empty wide-open highways - don't. The NHP currently has a major "slow down when you drive" campaign going on. Also - be careful around Vegas, the drivers there are the worst (too many people, not enough freeway). This...

    Lets see some interior mods

    Geeze, you could've put up a warning! :cool <---highly recommended When I get home I'll put up a picture of my "custom" (cough made it myself cough) console cover. It saves the arm from 3rd-degree burns when the top is down. ;LOL

    First Corvette a Crisis.

    Well I must have the world's greatest husband - in fact I know I do...last June we were just driving down the road and I was saying time to dump the family sedan, at 25,000 miles everything was starting to fall off...we happened by a car lot, he said "go test drive that Corvette, the...

    Long Sad Story With A Happy Ending

    Brought a tear to my eye. Change the genders of the main characters and it sounds frighteningly familiar! Oh and BTW - thanks for loaning us Nick Fazekas for the last 5 years! Signed, Go UNR Wolfpack

    Be Cool: Common Pitfalls For The C5 Owner, And how To Avoid Them

    I feel SO COOL. Yesterday driving back from Vegas, we got the NHP "U-turn pull over" (81 in a 70 zone). Coolness prevailed, a 20-minute conversation about guitars and amps ensued culminating in a "non-moving rural highway" ticket. No insurance notification, just $57 towards the next ball...

    What's your daily driver?

    Dude, Where's My Vette? ;help Needless to say it's not my daily driver today! This is what happened overnight at South Lake Tahoe (my son took the picture "on the job")

    The Black Wheel Trend

    Kinda remind me of basketball players in all-black shoes - makes 'em look old & slow. IMHO of course! :w

    Headlights dim semi randomly

    My car functions normally otherwise. The headlights very briefly dim when braking. I bought the car used with 25,000 miles on it so I don't know if the battery is the original but I have never had ANY electrical problems.
