In 40 years ill be 62. Might be way too old to play sports, but definately not too old to drive :upthumbs

I never cared much for the investment factor. It was even harder to care after driving it.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with basement dwellers! :D Im lucky enough my parents let me stay here, otherwise i would'nt have the vette until i was an old man.. too long to wait! I hope at least the Corvette sets me apart from the other parents-basement types :eyerole On topic: My sister's...

I really think these simple "how to" issues should be added to the the how to articles section. For the huge wealth of knowledge on these forums, there is a definite lack of how-to articles in that respective section. Its usually the first thing i check out when i need to know something. Its...

Thanks. Also, does anyone know what kind of maintenance i should ask for when bringing my car to the dealer? If changing the oil is all i need, then i guess i shouldnt have to take it there at all unless i have a bigger problem. I knew this car would cost me going in - i dont have a problem...

I suppose that changing the oil on a vette is as simple as any other car? Im not even sure what oil they put in my vette before i bought it. Ill have to call the dealer. Ive heard that you cant use syntehtic oil if youve already put in conventional, is that true? If basic maintenance for a...

Vettegirl, perhaps your next paper can discuss the psychological ramifications of storing a Vette during the winter months, for those of us who live in cold areas. I think we'll all be on the same page there :crazy

Ive only had the car for a few months, so I really dont know about much at this point. Ill just bring it to the dealer when its time, i dont trust myself to work on that thing hehe.

Small concern, but really annoying noise. It seems to act up for a few minutes when I start the car, and then at random intervals (when the engine isnt drowning it out) like at stops. Should i buy one of those cans of belt-lube? I figured i could take it in to the shop to have it fixed but i...

I was never that impressed by the Viper, its got an engine that can barely compete with the Vette even with an over 2 L displacement advantage. I got nothing against a Viper, i wanted one at one point, but its still just a complete brute with a truck engine and bad traction. The Viper doesnt...

Thanks Most sources ive heard from havent had problems with the dash system, so im not overly concerned about that.

Out of curiosity, can someone tell me when the C4 went from the digital dash to the analog one? Its a bit silly, but that dash is probably the single most important factor that would lead to me buying a C4. I get a huge kick out of seeing the digital display do its work, its like a jet fighter...

Heres mine. I used to think it wasnt as shiny as the rest, but i guess it holds up. Too bad i ran out of power in the cam before i could take a better shot. :hb

No autozones around here, as far as i can see. Ill probably have to go to NAPA and get them to order it for me, if that doesnt work ill just take a 3 hour cruise down to Syracuse this summer and buy some there :cool

Reminds me of the '98 ice storm. Those of you who live in Eastern Ontario and the US northeast will remember this one... how can we forget 2 inches of ice covering everything. I feared a repeat that night when my vette was outside in the rain.

Excellent post, but I'm curious about how this could be useful for someone who only uses their car for regular cruising, but not for racing or other intense applications. From what ive read, im compelled to believe that these catch cans are only used in these cases. Id like to add one if it...

Just as long as she doesnt extend the same courtesy by someday deciding to dry your car with a 50% polyester rag ;) I tell my family; do NOT touch the car in any instance except in the event that it is outside about to be struck by hail of brimstone or similar unlikely debris. Otherwise, there...

I actually thought this was kind of funny. I know where the Vette stands, and it definately was not well driven in any of those tests, or so it looks to me. A C5 z06 could do better in the hands of a good driver than that C6 with those tools behind the wheel.

Well im glad im not the only one who would worry about the sound of rain, not to mention the dire consequences of a frozen-on car cover. I may forego the storage for the time being. My complete dump of a garage is my only impetus for seeking a storage shed, i think a simple tidying in there is...

Weather up here in the Ottawa valley has been quite strange. I suspended my insurance after a late october snowfall thinking that the snow was coming early this year. I was dead wrong. November could have been prime driving weather, even into December it was OK. Typically, our weather is...
