    Mechanic/Shop Recommendation in North Georgia

    Jim knows his stuff and knows where to refer people when he can't do it. I would call before I drive up there to make sure he is still in the business. He was probably late 50's when I last say him and it's been 5 or 6 years.

    Mechanic/Shop Recommendation in North Georgia

    Jim Watson at Performance Concepts in Blairsville. 706-781-6789. This is the only guy I let work on my 77 before I sold it off. He's a one man operation working out of his home but has extensive background with the cars. I tried several other places during the 10 years that I had the 77 and...

    New Gran Sport

    We test drove a white with red stripes convertible last weekend. I think we will probably end up with one next year as our present when my son graduates UGA next year.

    Help! swapping out base stereo for nav unit

    I have the factory NAV in my 06 and much prefer WAZE on my smartphone. This year, on top of lacking good NAV software, doesn't have BT connectivity which is a big deal for me. I would look after market as well.

    Class Action Against GM

    This isn't good news either. Consumer reports ranks the 20 worst new cars. Corvette is #5 with issues listed as infotainment screen froze or went blank. Premature brake wear. Defective automatic climate control. Faulty GPS. Squeaks from convertible top. While I realize the list is subjective...

    Class Action Against GM

    It's worse than that. Lots of times the plaintiffs get coupons for future purchases with all the cash going to the lawyers. Their is only one group that is going to come out ahead on this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Class Action Against GM

    If the little flyers I get are any indication, you are automatically included in the class unless you opt out. However, just because the plaintiff's filed a class action law suit doesn't mean the court has to certify it as such. You probably have some time before having to make a decision.

    Petit Le Mans Info

    I generally have no excuses. It's only 45 minutes up the road. Yet somehow I managed to live with an hour of Sears Point for 15 years and never managed to make it there for a single event.

    POW/MIA Day

    If you're ever in middle Georgia drop by Andersonville. In addition to the infamous Civil War prison the national POW museum is there. Worth a see.

    Fun on vacation

    Going to have to get me one of those little Corvette trailers you see at Carlisle. Between my camera stuff and the wife's stuff the convertible just doesn't have the room. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Looks like a great trip Tom. Someday I want to pack the Vette and head west, then north and then back east and see all the sights along the way.
