I had to take The Baby in for what turned out to be a minor repair (shifter sticking in park). I should explain that I did NOT buy the Vette from the local Chevy dealer, but I did buy an extended warranty and the dealer where I bought it sends me to the Chevy dealership to get the repairs done...

Mine's a '98 and I don't have that problem either. However, when the top is up it squeaks something terrible. Can I lube it or WD-40 it, and if so where do I start?

I had to take my Vette into the shop today (long story for elsewhere), and ahead of me in the service line was a gent with a 2006 silver coupe. He asked me how I liked my convertible, and then said "I just bought myself a convertible for my birthday, I'm going to Bowling Green to pick it up."...

That makes it only 2/3 Redneck. ;LOL Nice job though! :upthumbs

Your butt will never see the driver's seat, John. :D Signed, Mr. Pinky Has Yet To Drive MINE

I had an interesting encounter with a Mazda Miata this weekend. Travelling on a 2-lane highway, speed limit 65, the idiot decided to pull out in front of me from a roadside fruit stand. It was a flat stretch of road so I know (s)he saw me coming - it's torch red for crissakes - then decided...

I need a cigarette! ;LOL

The trunk on my convertible is the same way. I think it's a safety feature - safety of the car that is!

You just never know around here! In the 5 years I've lived here I've heard at least 20 times about "the time it snowed on the 4th of July" - :crazy eta: it's already getting down to 39 degrees at Lake Tahoe in the mornings.

Jennifer, fellow Torch Red C5-er, I can't help you with the A/C but here's a link to the latest discussion about tires http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=86767

Bumping this up because guess what - got new tires (on the front only), the RF tire low readout stopped - only to be replaced with "service tire sensor module" every time I start the car and intermittently while driving. So I pulled the codes and got "C 1224", both H and C which I understand is...

Heh - Mr. Pinky BOUGHT me the Vette! (he picked it out and signed the papers anyway, I make the payments) I think I'll keep them both.

Hmmm...a Vette as an investment in the future...now THERE'S an angle I haven't used yet! (rubbing hands gleefully at the thought of what can be gotten with retirement funds - in fifteen flipping years :lou )

Things to do this winter 1. Claybar Vette 2. Soundproof Vette 3. Find permanent fix for passenger mirror on Vette... Hmmm...Mr. Pinky is going to be SO GLAD I joined this forum! ;-)

So, Remo, just what is involved in this "claying" of which you speak? I've seen the clay bars at the auto parts store but don't know how you are supposed to use them. My car's finish is pretty nice but it has a few rub/scrape marks (previous owner did it, I swear!) that I'd like to not see...

Um, hello...did I accidentally stumble into a Liar's Club meeting? Why just a year and a half ago I was driving through Redlands in the rain! Just not in a Vette. :bar

Me too! No ideas, but I recall reading a thread or two where this seems to be a rather common occurance. Just close your eyes and you'll never notice. ;LOL

On a recent trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats from Reno (mostly flat, 75 mph speed limit with a couple of 55 mph construction zones), I drove there with the top down all the way, averaged 73 mph with 25.7 mpg. On the way back I had the top up, averaged close to 80 mph and got 25.1 mpg. I will...

AHEM. Politically incorrect Sexist! ;)
