    Insurance wants me to use reconditioned rims

    Hi Silver97 - I had a 87 Firebird that I bought brand new - I was driving it with about 1000 miles on it and ran over a piece of brake line (metal) that was lying in the road at night. The line damaged my right front rim, but only cosmetically. I had State Farm insurance and they...

    Hi 82shark - I will see if I can find a pic - but I can tell you - gloss black is a good choice - I was toying with that idea - and painting the corvette lettering red - it would be a nice change of pace from the red everyon picks.....

    Hi GetVette - I have a 99 with the changer - I make my own wav format CD's on cheap cd rom media. I use either adaptec or nero to burn them - and they all work fine in the changer. I have heard of some folks having trouble and that those folks solved the problems by burning at a slower...

    Flaky Gas Gauge... It's baaaack!

    Bose Speakers

    New Mobil Oil

    Hi wwr - I think it is a marketing hustle. I will use Mobil 1 (the regular old stuff) as long as I can find it. In addition, I would not ever consider leaving any oil in my car for 15000 miles. Just my two cents. best regards - mqqn

    Does EVERYBODY like Painted Calipers?

    Hi Big Jimm - No. Everyone does not like painted calipers. I think a LOT of people like them. You will not find very many mods (if any) that everyone will approve of. Your opinion is the only one that matters though - do YOU like painted calipers? best regards - mqqn

    Peoria rib fest corvette parking pictures

    Hi Folks - today our town had a big rib cook-off on the riverfront - and the biggest local hot-rod club had a cruise inn. There was a band, beer, lots of ribs, and a lot of very nice rods ranging from fairly stock mustangs to a radical 65 chevy tubbed-out drag car, a pristine 66 shelby...

    Air Dam Damage

    Hi alan - The wheels (which require welding them on, by the way...) only prevent the most gruesome of nose-scrapes - they will prevet the kind of damage that would be caused by , say, driving out of a steep downhill driveway to an abruptly-flat road surface - where the radiator supports would...

    C5 on jack stands

    Hi John! Good to see you here at CAC - and welcome ! This forum is much more easy going than some of the more populated forums. :D I kicked around the idea that it might be harmful to "hang" the C5 suspension over the winters by putting a car up on the lift for storage - I talked this...
