Tom, I have been using Stoners for several years and it won't touch these spots. Tomorrow a friend is bringing me some plastic polish that the motorcycle guys use on their windshields to try. Re the newsprint, it works great for washing windows. Try your local newspaper to see if they will...

My acrylic top is covered with spots from the water here. Zaino glass cleaner took the hard water/acid rain spots off the glass effortlessly, but the company says it has an abrasive that will damage the top. Has anyone found a product that will remove these ugly spots? Thanks

Smells a lot like a blocked catalytic converter doesn't it? :D Don't ask me how I know or why I went to the muffler shop........

I would buy from CarMax, but not sell a vehicle to them. I had an evaluation done on my C4 in Memphis and it was insulting low, much lower than what I sold it for. I priced a couple of C5s in Nashville and thought they were priced about right--without the usual haggling.

That's why the wife nicknamed ours "Common Red" when I bought it. She's still whining about the purple C4 being gone as it was so unique. (I still miss it too... )

Hummm.... Isn't the Corvette two-tone silver with claret paint fairly unusual? I've only seen a couple of them in recent years, so you already have a rare ride. Changing the complete car color is a PIA and a ton of work to do right. Done wrong and the car's appearance is destroyed. Ever...

I finally found a good location for the little Roady2 antenna on my coupe: on the deck lid. The wire is easy to press into the window weatherstrip and secures with a couple of drops of clear silicone. Hardly noticeable. The reception is improved too-- from totally crappy all the way up to...

Yep, draw a band-aid on it and go on!!! :D

One of the guys at AutoZone told me about a man who returned a new battery saying it was totally dead: He had managed to drive his cables on without removing the plastic insulators from the top posts! After that, nothing I do seems quite so bad.

I am very dissatisfied with the reception of the XM Roady 2's antenna. I first mounted it on the cowl cover plate just behind the hood. The radio broke up every time there was a tree beside the road...and I live in a rural, very wooded area. It will not pick up any kind of signal through the...

Your water temp is just a bit high based on my now dearly departed C4, but...remember that this engine was designed to run hot. If the coolant truly was flushed and changed with the proper mixture, and both fans are working, I'd check for a soft radiator hose. With a car of that age, even with...

Better than an MG-B huh? Congrats, that's an awsome ride!

Hopefully a helpful hint: Cut about 1/3 off one arm on each of the four hooks. The net will pop on and off much easier, but still be totally secure.

2,300 miles a year!! ;shrug Man, no vette should sit that much! Welcome.

Thanks, John, for the info. Next step is to mount the antenna on the frame. Step after that is to throw the thing away!!!

Yitbos, is that the very small (1-1/2" or so) antenna or the larger one, and did your mount position it above metal? Think I'll move mine and if the reception doesn't improve I sure won't renew my subscription.

Hummm.... wonder if the antenna would work better mounted on the frame rail under the rear skin, as some guys have done?

I also use the Roady 2 and put the antenna on the cowl cover just clearing the hood. I lose the signal a lot, especially when there is a tree beside the road--which is nearly everywhere here. My daughter has the older, larger antenna on the roof of her minivan and very seldom loses the...

I tried tying into the radio fuse in the toe board fuse block, but that did not work.... Opening the door would not turn off the device. On the bright side, I did learn how to recover the radio security code after I pulled the fuse to add a 2-fuse adapter. :D Is is logical that I'll have to tap...
