    GM's buyers reject 'Obamamobile' Volt as campaign heats up

    Chevy 'Volt" and the white house ? Thank you, I've been trying to make this point for awhile now. The 'Volt is a one time purchase and besides getting the $7500.00 tax credit, is a car for someone who lives in or close to a city or town with a secure place that has been modified with a 220v...

    oil changes

    boiling oils ! It always seems to be a hot topic when it comes down to oil. I think HIb has presented very good information as always in his salty way. I have always used Mobil-1 5W/30 and a Mobil-1 filter on my 2003 LS1. Here in Pennsylvania we usually have a harsh winter but this year it's...

    With Viper splitting from Dodge, should Corvette have separated from Chevy?

    From the begining . . . The relationship between Chevrolet and Corvette is much like a Mother whale and calf. The Corvette has been a testbed for all sorts of automotive engineering concepts. Back in the early sixties, Corvette put forth Independent suspension at all four wheels, and Disc...

    Question: A brand new set of leather quad stiched C5 A4 shifter & Emergency brake boots

    I ordered the wrong color shifter and E-brake boots for my A4 2003 Corvette. These are European crafted subtle-soft leather boots. When you press on a piece of leather if it wrinkles all around for about the size of a dollar coin then is poor grade leather. You should press on good leather and...

    No more car cover

    Car cover? :ugh I agree 1000% with the above posts. If your car is nice and clean, and you park it inside a garage, and put a nice clean or new cover on the car, that is the last time you'll be able to have a no problem with the cover issue. I park my 2003 inside my garage and even if I wash...

    oil changes

    Factory fill and the best choice ? I've used Mobil-1 5W/30 ever since I bought her, and since I don't drive more than 5 thousand miles a year, I only change the oil & filter once a year. But I know many Corvette owners who have hit the 100.000, 200.000 and 300.000 miles on their Corvettes and...

    'Old GM' buried with bad assets of '09 bankruptcy

    General Motors of long ago ! It's really sad commentary on corporations today. The very high ups, rich and virtually untouchable, suck the life out of the companies and they do it with the board of directors blessing or at the very least a blind eye. This pattern of parasites who robbed the...

    Chevrolet 'Volt' ? Ya know the Chevrolet Volt isn't a white elephant despite it's numerous drawbacks in it's operation. And I respect your opinion, I think all of us here who are truly enthusiastic automotive junkies want to see the Volt succeed. But in truly plain terms, this 'Volt' was...

    Color of Caipers ? To me it has always been something I'd like to do, Paint the calipers on my 2003 50th Anniversary ISC coupe, lot of work for just changing the color of something the works perfect as is in from factory gray. I don't know, I suppose if I had time, but I'd like to spend...

    I made a mistake on ordering a new set of A4 shifter and emergency boots. Reline Goods makes clearly the highest quality leather products on the market. Touch your original shifter boot and then touch the reline goods Boots and you cannot disagree that reline is like touching butter soft and...

    Do You Drive Your Corvette In The Snow?

    Snow & Salt ! I generally don't take the Corvette out after the first Snow/Salting session. The salt comes out in chunks but after a week of being crushed and pounded into, like the Salt like on your dinner table. Now once this is done out of doors, It becomes a grayish dust and with any kind...

    Strange ! Ya know, It just might be me, But what is the attraction to Black on Black on Black on Black . . . on Black. The paint, the interior, the wheels, the tires, the carpet, the seats, the tinted windows. Is there no end to the faze of black ? How much Black can you have. :rotfl

    Anyone have any idea what General Motors Company plans for the 60th Anniversary edition model will be like ? In the past it's been cosmetic only of the Anniversary models, and since the General motors is celebrating it's 100th year of building automobiles as well, I thought they might go beyond...

    Cross-Fire Manifold cracked! Any tips replacing my old intake is most welcomed!

    New Intake ? If it were me, I'd have a machine shop or 'ExtrudeHone Inc.' port and polish it. The more air/fuel you can get into the engine, the greater the output in horsepower. But you really need a better set of flowing heads to make it work.
