Not soon enough... I am going to pick up my black on black coupe in next (way too many) days and expect to soon be suffering from the same great non-problem. I have been fortunate to have owned several Vettes over the decades but this one promises to be the ultimate fantastic machine. In case...

I am selling my 1999 Service Manual set of three books. The part number is GMP/99-Y, volumes 1, 2, & 3. I purchased the set new in 1999 when I bought my C5. Each book is clean and in perfect condition. In fact, they are nearly unused. Ecklers sells the set for $189.99. I will accept a...

Done. Done... and the strong vote for a VW bug defines the MSNBC audience.

Easy I have driven Vettes in Chicago snow for years with few problems. The trick is to use a light throttle and ease out the clutch in a slow, measured way to hold traction. If I feel the wheels start to slip, I just step on the clutch a little and ease up on the gas. Sometimes I start in...

Relatively I have had several black cars including my current '99 C5. Black looks great when clean, gets dirty fastest, stone chips and these "neighborly" minor scratches do not prevent me form owning a black car... or ordering the 2007 black C6 that I will pick up in a few weeks. You will...

Michelin A/S ZP I replaced my 99's stock Goodyears with Michelin runflats 2 years ago... 5,500 miles ago. They run somewhat quieter, roll over bumps without that jarring thud and feedback through the steering wheel that the Goodyears had. Considering safety, convenience, street performance, I...

OK, I shouldn't, but I do. I drive my Corvettes in Chicago winters. Is any maintence required on C6 chrome wheels driven in the winter? Will salty streets corrode the chrome? Do polished wheels need any polishing or waxing during the summer or the winter? I'm trying to get a wheel that does...

Eliminating the problem: 1, 2, 3 This is how I eliminated the column lock problem on my '99 C5. 1.) Per GM Product Safety Policy GMP06-029-05081, variously known as Special Policy Adjustment 05081, in force until February, 2008, with my last lock up, I specifically detailed to the dealer that...

~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am ordering the standard - base - suspention. Can I specify the A/S tires instead of the GS2? And, would these A/S tires really make much difference in rain and snow? Thanks.

Thank you for the useful comparisons and experiences. In checking out TireRack.com I see there are two models of Goodyear tires tagged as original equipment. They are: Eagle F1 GS-2 EMT Eagle F1 A/S-C EMT Does anyone know which will come standard? Is there a way to specify the...

I've just ordered my 2007 coupe and am trying to get comparison opinions. Eight years ago I found the standard Goodyear runflats on my 1999 to be noisy, harsh over bumps, slippery in rain, and undriveable in snow. Can anyone compare or even just give an opinion of the standard Goodyear...

Has anyone installed a Column Lock Bypass on a stick shift and had any further troubles with anything, including the BCM, the column locking anyway, or anything else?

Hib, many of us value your experience, information and perspective. It seems that you are always learning from your numerous contacts in the industry and from owners. The disadvantages to publishing a book are several. They include the fact that info gets out of date, errors are permanent...

This photo of that fantastic machine evokes great memories from calmer times.

Sometimes our imaginations evoke memories and personal experiences better than photos.

I installed Silverstars about a year ago. Yes, they are an improvement over stock. The light appears to be brighter and more white. The dispersion is about the same. It is no less wide nor far. They were worth the cost and definitely are worth the little effort to install. Peter

Michelin I replaced the Goodyears with Michelin runflats 2-3/4 years ago... 6,000 miles ago. They run somewhat quieter, roll over bumps without that jarring thud and feedback through the steering wheel the Goodyears have. Considering safety, convenience, street performance, I will stick with...

After owning several Vettes over 40 years, I still love 'em. BUT, really... a $600 light bulb repair on this fantastic C5 is just a little NUTS. Thank you for the help. Peter
