Probably too late to participate, though you can get on the waiting list, but it looks like a good time to watch a bunch of cars go fast up in the mountains. wannaGOFAST - High-Speed Racing - Georgia 1/2 Mile Private Runway Shootout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX6GUfRrfa8

Thanks for your insight (and everyone else's) Paul.

The car had 30,000 miles on it. Severe service recommendation on the trans is 50,000. Even assuming nothing had been done, they were a little early.

I've never really had a good experience with a dealer. I remember taking my Dodge in for its 30,000 mile service and got pushed toward $600 in up sells. I had the manual with me and we quickly took care of that. I generally try to find shops that specialize in a brand of car, I have excellent...

Thanks. I'm suspicious of the dealer. They always seem to have some type of upsell.

Thanks Hib. What about the transmission service? 30,000 miles just didn't seem right to me.

I've got the car at the dealer for the yearly oil change. While in they recommended changing the coolant (which I agreed to as I don't know what the prior owner did), changing the trans fluid and cleaning the fuel injectors. They assured me that the latter two are manufacturer's recommended...

And you don't mention the mileage or condition of your existing engine, something I would consider before I put money into it.

I think you get CalOSHA, not necessarily OSHA.

I test drove the Volt, among others, last year looking for a electric commuter car. I liked it but it needs some updating. In particular, the Ford Fusion is much more cutting edge (which you would expect since they just upgraded to the product line). When is the Volt due to come out with the...

Vette Parts Plus is The Last Detail reincarnated. I think there was an ownership change but the two guys running the place are the same two guys I have been dealing with for the last ten to twelve years. I can recommend them.

Happy birthday guys!

Got to rebuild the reserve for the next unexpected incident.

Its tough to make generalities about union v. non-union workers. I can guarantee you that I work with some non-union people that are less than motivated. It is true that the goals of the union are not always in sync with the company.

Not bad but it was a flat charge to recondition it which involved trueing it, repairing a small section of curb rash and prepping and clear coating it. Looks like new.

I just had one of my polished rims redone and it wasn't cheap costing just over $200. In their defense it was a complete recondition including trueing, fixing curb rash and clear coating. It was still cheaper than replacing the rim.

Corvette Engineers get the Supermodel

For safety purposes I would think you would want the stands under a solid point on the car rather than something that can move.

Junk to the rescue!:happyanim:

While it's convenient to have a GPS in the dashboard, I have found that the on-board GPS is not the most accurate (both my Dodge and my Vette take me around the block to go home) and are expensive in terms of both initial outlay and updates. My wife and I both tend to use our smartphones for...
