    99 Wheels- keep them or change them?

    I have a 2004 that was ordered with every option except special wheels, so I have the silver painted 5 spokes. However, I was at recent rally with over 1,000 vettes (most C5s) and didn't see another set of painted 5 spoke wheels. A couple of people have asked if I have titanium wheels; lol...

    2005 Chevy Tahoe Z-71 Blacked out exterior and tan leather interior is my "company car" and daily driver. Yes, I really need a 4x4 large SUV for my work. Just ordered a 2007 Cadillac DTS with the top of the line performance package and the Tehama leather interior to replace my wife's 2004...

    Is it me or is it them?

    You have to shop for a good dealership and good mechanic just as you would for any other service, like a good barber. I tip my female barber (hairdresser or whatever) very well and I get good service and preference on appointment times. I also give her a nice Xmas bonus. You have to do the...

    The Waiting, The Sweating: Air Conditioning Poll

    Never heard of anyone waiting to turn on the AC in any vehicle - absurd. The AC is not like your heating system which uses engine coolant that the engine must heat up before you will get any heat. The AC begins working immediately when the engine starts and the compressor starts turning...

    Aftermarket door sill seals???

    I bought some aftermarket rubber door sill seals for my 2004 and they came with no instructions. I'm not sure if they belong near the inside or outside and which side of the seal belongs inside and outside. Anyone know for certain, or has anyone installed them so that they keep the door sills...

    Stock Bose Radio for the Birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree that the Bose is rather poor. The system seems to be under powered and the range of adjustability of the tone is as poor as the AM radios of the 1950s.

    Door molding position?

    I have had a pair of those aftermarket rubber door moldings that fit on the underside of each door to keep moisture out for over 3 months now. No instuctions came with the moldings and I'm not sure where they fit. Anyone have any photos or advice/

    Where am I and how do I get there

    I have three. They are essential on a larger boat where you travel on bigger waters. They are wonderful for running a boat at night and following a safe course you set in the daytime, rather than creeping around hoping not to hit an obstacle. Try running 50 miles on a big lake full of islands...

    What exhaust would you prefer?

    What was the question? Oh yea, I really like what I have and so does everyone else except those that bought some other aftermarket brand. I have GHL Bullets with quad 3.5" bullseyes nicely set off by a SS exhaust plate and my vanity tag "WAYCOOL". My corvette club kind of hangs with a hot rod...

    ?? from a 1st time Vette owner.

    I quit cold turkey on my first try last year after 33 years of smoking, but I still dream about smoking. I still dream about sex too, but I'm married

    Safest Car Color?

    Last weekend in a caravan to a car show I thought I saw a couple of MY Vettes coming from the other direction on the expressway. As I got closer I saw they were yellow sand barrels at the end of a bridge railing. By the way, I do like MY. I pay no attention whatsoever to green and brown...

    Had Knee Surgery

    Best wishes for a rapid recovery. I am still suffering from constant shoulder pain and restricted movement as a result of nerve trama from a rollover 7 months ago. I keep thinking it will be OK in a month or two.

We are going to...

    Performance Mods

    Power is all about moving the most air/fuel mix (and sometimes the most potent mix). Most of the challenges we get from Mustangs in my area are on high speed roads, so the 2.78 stock rear end is best. The only place you'll se a Mustang when you're doing 175mph is in the rear view mirror. The...

    My Coolant Temp reads: "XXX" It doesn't register the current temperature??

    Excellent! What you have is a censored sensor, or mabe the XXX means there is astroglide in your coolant.
