    Is it me or is it them?

    The service writer at my dealership gets a $100 tip every year and my Vette (and other GM cars) always goes to a mechanic who knows and loves Vettes. If my Chev. dealership kept the same writer for more than a month, or even the same owner for more than 6 months, it would be a miracle. :W

    Is it me or is it them?

    That is probably just another minor adjustment for your "Non Problem". :D Glad they finally fussed up and replaced it for you, should have done that in the first place. :beer

    Mobil One $7.25 per quart?

    I saw it today at Wal-Mart in Augusta at 22.50 for 5 qt jug, but I had to add sales tax, so I will wait for N.H. trip.:D

    2002 For Sale

    I think I would also want to know where it had been, given the possibility of water damage in your area in the last year. Should be able to track that from the lease company and a talk with the former lessee.

    MPG

    My $.02 worth. We took the 02 Vert from Maine to Nashville and back via Gettysburg. Traveling at 70 to 75, with 3:90 gears, averaged for the 3400 miles a nice 30.1. Seams the mileage on the C-5 is great and with a six speed, a little better. :) The Vette is the easiest thing I...

    The Escort (Passport) SR7 Incident

    Then it occured to me: in a way, I've just proven the question I was asking. :eyerole :L -Patrick YEP!!! :D I think the biggest part of the scenario you described was driven by the young lads need to sell. Yes, he thought that due to the cost of the Vette you must have some cash...

    Techron fuel additive.

    Jack, you are right. There has been quite a lot of info on this helping the sticking gas gauge problem. I use it in my Mag red Vert. Up here, we can get it in a local supply store(V.I.P.) usually for around $9 and 6 to 7 when on special.

    Oil

    Len: I should have also pointed out that my ramps have indentations to hold the vehicle in place, but I also have a small chock I put in. I am lucky as I have a slopping drive way and am able to drive up on the ramps, have all wheels on the ground, Em brake on, and the nose pointed down...

    Oil

    I agree with Vet Boy. If you change the oil yourself, remember that the oil pan is flat and has baffles in it. So you must find a way to tilt the car forward and wait for about 5 to 10 minutes for all the oil to drain out. Then don't forget to reset the oil life on your DIC. The...

    C5 opinions

    Yep, me to. There were a number of issues with the earlier models like oil use and in Verts the top seating right. By about 01, most had been worked out except for the column lock. When I was looking, the advice I was given was to get at least an 01 if possible. My 02 has had no...

    Column locked up Saturday

    will advise if I have problems.....what are you going to do? Thanks. Mine has not had a problem yet, I have a CLB but, like you, would like to have it disabled and done with. That is why I have waited on all the recalls. I just don't trust GM and their tech stuff on this issue, because...

    Column locked up Saturday

    Old Dog.....my column no longer locks..period:D Right. As I understand it, GM installs a by pass to tell the BCM that it has retracted. My info said that some of those are failing and causing the car not to start. Just wanted to know if you encounter any problems in the near future. :)

    Column locked up Saturday

    LaMag; I am thinking of taking my M6 in for the last recall to eliminate it. Let us know how this works over time. I have been waiting, as I have read & been told by my local dealer that the by-pass GM is using has had problems. Just trying to wait until bugs are worked out. And oh, a...

    Column locked up Saturday

    I don't know and I probably should not say anything, but it just strikes me a little odd that the dealer would charge you for a faulty actuator when the purpose of the recall is to disable the lock. :confused It took GM long enough to admit the problem and do the right thing, which is...

    New C5 owner

    Either way is good, just the preference of top down or not. You are so right on the color, just love it. Had to search for 9 months to get the combo I wanted in the condition . Yours sounds like a real find. Enjoy :v Oh, and I did see the coments in the 1st part of the post and do agree...

    New C5 owner

    I would like to jump in and say congrats also on the C 5. I have the same thing only in a vert. You will love it. :Steer Jane, I will say that you sure do know how to pick the scenes to show off the Vette. Got to get you to find one for me. :gap
