Very cool!:upthumbs And doubly cool on the sales tax!! For my C5, I ended up paying $600 for used chromes with tires and sensors - that's why I'm opting for the wheels later. I have a hard time paying that much for the wheels myself. I may end up going with polished instead of chrome but I...

I just changed mine a few weeks ago. I, too, had read that I would need the double swivel socket but took a go without it. All but one were fairly no-brainer with my good old single swivel craftsman extension and combinations of length extentions. The thumb ratchet came in really handy...

Welcome aboard, Jay! Love that you've owned that 70 since new, always great to see that. - Eric:w

If we buy new, this is what I'm looking at paying, less what I sell the 98 for and whatever deal I can get. $47,895---2009 CORVETTE COUPE ..4,555---3LT ....395---GU2-performance axle ....695---**6- 2 Tone Seat option ..1,195---NPP-Dual mode performance exhaust ..1,250---MX0- 6...

She's mine and I'm keeping her, is it any wonder why!:upthumbs

This is a C5 question, please follow this link to respond in the C5 forum.

My wife is dead set on moving to a C6 once her Saturn is paid off (about 6-8 months). She actually sat in one last night at the local Chevy dealer and she really digs the 2-tone interior, HUD, paddle shift, push button start, etc... Not sure if we will go new or used but I/we do have a very...

Also, while not as big a deal as frame rust mentioned above, look under the dash and seats to see how rusty things are underneath. A lot can be an idicator of leaks, past or present, that won't be readily visible when you're looking at the car. This can lead to corrosion on some of the wiring...

I guess I'm lucky, mine still pops up all by itself.:D That's a pretty cool idea though. - Eric:w

Thanks Jim and Shan! Being one who has never been fond of being under a running car, even with all six jack stands and steel wheels underneath, I think I'll see if Jim's brake pedal issue is at fault. Then maybe I'll make my wife nervous by crawling under the car while it's running:eek. Ain't...

For level set, it's a 98 A4 with 68K on it. The problem occurs more when the fluid is still pretty cold, under 100 degrees, but still occurs with less severity at normal operating temps. I had the filter replaced and a flush performed with Mobil1 trans fluid but the problem persists. After the...

Hehehe, I guess you need to move to a bigger market area. Or you could listen to DC traffic reports and count your blessings you don't live here. I have to disagree regarding the niche point you make, but I think it's an issue of location. The problem with bigger markets is that broadcast...

It's all personal preference. But if you go with tips, I'd get them welded so there's no chance of them rattling. - Eric:w

I love it! I have forgotten what comercials even sound like. It's especially nice since I'm in one of the areas that has a dedicated traffic/weather channel on XM. Now more than ever, when I drive one of the cars without it, I either drive in silence or listen to CDs - commercials blow. And...

Having owned both, I can say that I agree holeheartedly with you. I loved my shark and it was a blast to drive but there was the worry factor since it wasn't a perfect car and I'm not Mr Goodwrench. However, I was able to perform all of the work that was ever done on my C3 myself, whereas...

And he also has a seriously sweet lookin' car!

Hi Michael and welcome to the CAC! I would first echo what Jane Ann says about getting the newest car you can afford. GM was constantly refining these cars a little each year. There are a few C5 issues that crop up over time that you may want to be aware of: 1 - The infamous rocking seat -...

Very nice slide show, Tom! Thanks for posting! - Eric:w

That was my feeling when read this as well. But then, it's not like I was ever going to be able to afford one anyhow:eyerole. - Eric:w

If you're right, at least we'll all be able to say we were here to see it. Yeah, that makes me feel a lot better about it.
