    Automatic shifter knobs

    Ever Replaced a Coupe's Headliner?

    Head liner ? The panel is held on with five Velcro pads. I redid my C4 which has a gray interior, so I got a section of Flannel from a fabrics store and I got it in light gray, but a lighter than the interior. The panel was done in a cheap black nylon fabric, if you want to call it that. Use...

    News: Loss of Corvette a turning point for St. Louis manufacturing

    The slow death of manufacturing ? Good point. The NAFTA tread agreement is close to twenty years old. I have yet to see where Americans get anything profitable out of this useless piece of legislation. But that's just my $0,02. another "Inside the Beltway" taste. . . Bitter. :eyerole

    Question: Tire filling logic !

    Nitrogen in tires ? I have to agree with all of you, If I want better mileage out of my DD, (A 2002 Chevy Cavalier) I use synthetic oil and I bump up the tire pressure to 31PSI. But I do the same in my 03 50th anniversary coupe. 1 extra pound equates to 34 pounds hot, and 30PSI cold and...

    What car wax/polish do you use?

    Wax or polish? GMjunkie suggested last year that I try Turtle Wax's "Ice", and I have found it to be truly a great product. Even with my back problems, it goes on and off without a struggle and it shines like . . . Glass. It's even better when you put on a second coat. :w
