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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Welcome and I'm sorry for the situation. . . You know, dealerships are just a window of the company. I have used Bryner Chevrolet In Jenkintown PA for many years. They picked up all of the other car lines dropped by GM when they came out of bankruptcy, so they work Chevrolet, Buick Cadillac...

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...

I mistakenly bought a set of European made shift and emergency boots for my 2003 Corvette with a A4 transmission. Excellent for someone looking to upgrade their interior. Light Gray and Blue very soft leather Made by redlinegoods.com Great items for a real cheap price. Make me an offer, I'm...

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...

Wheel ? It's a little late for me to post this, but have you contacted wheelcollisoncenter.com ? They did a fantastic job on one of my right front wheel for the 2003 ISC optioned Corvettes with the 50th Anniversary painted wheels in a Champlain colors wheels?

Water tight ? I have used both of these with great success and if you need a larger dose I go with the 3 tube of silicon tubes of silicon sealer or lube from Mid-America it's GM part #10131290 and or the smaller version of the same thing, (But it is almost a universal part in stock anywhere on...

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...

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...

Winter and Corvettes ? Well I suppose I could but why ? I just spent $3000.00 this summer on all new Michelins pilot Sports PS/2 ZP which are rated for high speed and Not, I say NOT for use in any weather below 32 degrees. I saw a guy trying to cross the RT. 95 bridge over the the river and he...

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...

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.

Routh idle ! I had this problem in my 84 and spent a few years chasing it down. 1. on both throttle bodies you have two "Idle control Motors" their easy to see and remove, clean and reinstall There's a procedure to setting them, look on the web and you'll find it. That said I tried all sorts...
