    Tire Comparison-GY GS-D3s vs TOyo Proxes T1-Rs

    I have the GSD3s. Don't know anything about the Toyos. Stick with the GSD3s. I wouldn't use the Toyos "just because" I wouldn't use them on my Corvette.

    Car Covers

    Don't have a recomendation for you since I do garage my C5. I do have a cheap Kragen car cover which I use to keep the dust off BUT only when the car is clean. Never cover a dirty car since the cover will encourage scratches - grind the dirt in especially outside when its windy. There have...

    Fuel Gauge Problem

    C5s have a similar problem usually blamed on gas with a higher than usual sulfur content. Using Chevron with Techron seem to eliviate the problem (read eliviate and not eliminate). You can also buy Techron in a bottle from most automotive parts outlets to add to your non-Chevron gas. In my C5...

    Long Sad Story With A Happy Ending

    Great story. My wife let me buy a '68 roadster race car which she autocrossed also. Then after the race car was sold she spotted the '94 coupe that we bought followed soon after by the 2001 Torch Red coupe. She drives it sometimes :D

    Extended Warranties

    You can extend GMPP as long as you have a minimum of 1 month AND 1000 miles left on the warranty. That's what they didn't tell you.

    Engine Wash in C5

    Whatever you do, don't steam clean it. Steam will get into places you don't want. When steam cools it becomes water which will get into electrical connectors, etc.

    Hatch ajar draining battery?

    Battery was dead this weekend. Jumped it and seemed to charge up fine. Only issue I could think of was that the hatch was ajar. Could that have drained the battery over a week's time?

    Mix & Match Tires?

    It all depends...Brand X in front with Brand Y in back may work while not the other way around (assuming correct sizes of course). Probably won't matter under everyday (commuting, grocery shopping, etc) conditions but could be dangerous under adverse weather or driving conditions.

    Window cleaning

    I use Stoner's even with a tint on the rear hatch glass. Instead of buying expensive tools to help clean the inside of the front windshield just get yourself a cheap plastic spatula from Target, etc. and some good dish cloths rubber banded around the spatula.

    C-5 Extended Warranties

    Most warranties, at least the ones that I feel are worth the money, require that you are within the original factory warranty in order to extended it. For us that's 36months or 36,000 miles. You're way past the 36months so it doesn't matter what your mileage is at this point. I just fell off my...

    Need Tire Opinions

    I've had the Goodyear F1 GS-D3s (non-runflat) on for close to three years now. Transformed the ride from boy racer to gentlemanly GT without any loss of performance. Carry a repair kit with patches, compressor, etc.
