Well it finally happened - my battery went dead from lack of use and I can't get into the car. I unlocked the trunk and pulled on the cord that opens the door but the door only opens partially (same as if it didn't close all the way when shutting the door) and will not completely open - you can...

I went up to the dealership and had them change the oil for the 1st time at ~1900 miles. The next day I went to put gas in the car and I had a "left front tire low" error message. I checked the left front tire and it was at 34lbs but I added 4lbs anyway hoping the error would clear but it...

How do I go about finding out how many cars were made with the same option package (triple black 3LT, red calipers, etc) as mine? I know I've read about this on the site before but I can't find any posts. I just had my window sticker laminated and it got me thinking. Thanks in advance for any...

Well, I got the car out of storage last week and I've put about 100 miles on it since, a combination of both highway and stop & go. I'm only averaging about 9.5 miles to the gallon according to the car's computer system. Is this a normal "break-in" thing or should I have concerns about the...

Has anyone purchased a garage floor mat from garageflooringllc.com? If so, could you please post any issues or recommendations you have for their products? Thanks in advance - I'm thinking of purchasing a mat from them but I'd like to hear some pro's/cons. -JS

I'm hoping to get myself into a new C6 soon and I was wondering how you guys detail your engine compartments as well as the under carriage? I've seen several pictures of C5's and C6's with several thousand miles on them but the engine comparments and under carriages look like their brand new...

Does anyone else have the impression that the unveiling of the new C7 is being kept low-key? It might be because I live in the Northeast, but I don't think there are too many people that either know or care that GM is about to unveil a new generation Corvette. In my group at work there are 4...

I have a set of 4 GoodYear GT+4's that were on my LT-1 when I purchased it. They're the wide P225/60R15's and they're still in very good shape - still have the nubs on the side of the tires. They are on rims and still have the trim rings that were on them at the time of purchase, however, the...

I'm sure this thread has been done to death but I couldn't quickly find anything on it and I'd appreciate everyone's inputs. If you were buying a new GS, would you put the clear bra on, and if so, would you do the front end, mirrors, and the top of the roof? Just wondering - would you put a...

What a weird day today was for me & the Mrs. We watched the LT-1 drive away with a new owner, then spent this afternoon and evening at Fenway Park for a special event held by my employer. We were given Wilson 100th anniversary gloves, spent BP in centerfield, given a tour of Fenway and had front...

A buddy of mine owns and 87 that had been running perfectly and now won't start. It's a beautiful low mileage (~30K miles) white on red vert that he takes meticulous care of. He told me the battery read ~10V, so he took it back to Sears where he bought it last year and they said it's fine -...

I just ordered a new TRW 340 performance spring for my car. Just wondering if anyone has this spring installed in their cars, and what their thoughts are? I was told they're the perfect combination for ride/performance. Thanks in advance. -John

A friend of mine at work has a '79 coupe and he told me he's having problems with replacement windshield wipers. He told me the drivers side wiper hits his hood. He also said he buys the wipers according to the books/specs they have in the auto shops so he's sure he's buying the correct wipers...

Just wondering if anyone's planning to attend the summer nationals in Worceter, MA this year? The event runs from June 30, - July 3. -John http://www.summernationals.com/index2.html

Just wondering if anyone out there has ever dyno'd their '71 LT-1, and if so, what were the results?

Can anyone out there tell me their experiences with "Performance Choice Manifold Dressing?" The advertisement I read states that it cures as you run your motor. I don't want to use something that doesn't cure, like Kalex (sp?), as I heard that stuff gets all over the engine compartment. I would...

A buddy of mine just picked up a 1994 40th anniversary edition with about 6K miles. He bought it from a dealership, and paid for the car without taking it for a test drive. When driving it home, he couldn't believe how "stiff" the suspension was compared with his '87. He's actually second...

Took my vette out last night for a quick drive, and to put gas in it for next weekend. After filling the tank and paying for the fuel, I went to start the car and it appeared to be dead, for about a second. I thought that maybe I didn't have the clutch in all the way, as it started on the second...

Just found out how to add pics, and here's a different view!
