Last week I traded my 04 Spiral Gray coupe in for a 2016 Shark Gray Z-51 coupe. My car had 48K miles on it and lots of extras added on. Virtually trouble free for 12 years. Bachman Auto Group in Louisville has it for sale. They did not have its picture up, just a generic one. Ask for Arturo...

Bud I did not know Bud personally, but I remembered the tag Yoda on many of his posts when I got the note of his passing. Sorry to hear another vet has passed. My prayers will be with his family.

Plant idle Geez. That seems like a lot of downtime for the workers. Bummer.

V8 Corvette My 04 coupe got 30 mpg right off the dealer's lot. It has 350 hp, more than enough for any situation I have ever encountered. GM should keep the V8 and back the HP down to 350 from the 405 or whatever the base model is at now if they want better mpg. Can't imagine why GM V8...

Woodward Dream Cruise Well, we had a little liquid sunshine, but it was a good cruise day since the weather and economy kept the number of cars down quite a bit. I was able to run from Maple to Pontiac and then down to 9 Mile and then back up to Birmingham near Borders and the traffic was...

Woodward 6 - I will be going up there on Thursday but will be in a 2010 TorRed Challenger R/T Classic with a few striping mods on her. Taking the wife to see her sister so the heated seats are a necessity and the 04 Vette does not have em, so...its the Challenger this time. I will try to touch...

Cruisefest Never been up there but will consider it next year if the timing is right. I had a bowling torunament in Reno the first week in June this year and am not sure what dates we'll get for Reno next year.

first ride When I was 16 I was given a 1947 Studebaker sedan. Suicide doors, and it was a tanish brown color. Had it for a couple of years til my uncle gave me a 50 Pontiac vert. My last vert.

C6 roofs This has been an issue written and talked about for a couple of years now. Why is it now after several years that suddenly it is a recall issue. I cannot understand why it has taken several years to reach this stage. Geez, talk about slow reacting to a known issue.

plant layoff It would have seemed to me, that given the Xmas period in late December, they could have tacked the layoff week on to normal Xmas leave. What does it matter if a few more cars are built in early December rather than later in December. Would give the line workers time off around...

newest Vette Had hoped our Corvettes Limited Club of Bowling Green could witness this event as it happened, but was told the event was "closed" and to be a private affair. Seems like it was not so private if the guy was given the keys to the city by the Mayor.

Graphics I have some on the 04 coupe. Used the commemorative pattern but with Copper and a Royal Blue outline stripe on the Spiral Gray car. Work was done by Auto Trim Design which is a chain and you might look to see if you have one in your area. My local shop does outstanding work. The...

other driver My other car is a 99 Chrysler 300M with 96K miles on it. My wife's car is an 00 Eldorado with 44K miles on it. I would be looking at a Challenger in a year, but alas it is her "turn" for a new one and the 08 CTS might be the number.

SS Much ado about nothing. It's a car few can ever afford to get, assuming that one can be found. Who cares except Jay Leno? If I can't buy it it is just like a Ferrari or McLaren SLR. Put it on a shelf til Barrett-Jackson, or race it, but for the average Joe, it looks just like another...

Daytona An outrageous result. NASCAR just seems to have no rules, and even when they do have one they don't follow it. There should have been a yellow flag about a quarter mile before the finish line. The guys who run that program are morons. If it is supposed to go yellow when a crash occurs...

new Pace car White is traditionally one of the lowest selling colors, but I guess like the traditional Red it cannot be deleted from the color chart. No biggie, the Fellows car does look nice. I personally like the Daytona color a little better than the Atomic Orange, and I think a little more...

run flat inflation Got the tire pressure gauge out last weekend and dropped the pressure on the run flats back from 39 psi to 33 psi per tire [cold temp]. Will see how that holds as it gets colder and adjust downward if necessary to get closer to the recommended 30 psi. Of course I have noted...

Catbert I think you are right. I plan on checking the cold air temp tomorrow and then dropping them to 33-35 psi. The door jam sticker says 30 psi and I've tried to stay right at that figure, but it fell as low as 25 psi one cold day last year and set off the warning, so I guess 33-35 psi would...

run flat update Took a road hazard hit from a boulder some kids threw into the roadway late afternoon on the 4th of Nov. I was following a SUV at 35 mph and he suddenly swerved left to avoid it but once I saw the problem my swerve did not miss it and it hit the right front. About 20 seconds...

tires Pac-man - Thanks, that is good to know. Should have the tire in on Friday if it gets here. Shop agreed with alignment check, and to give the rest of the undercarriage and rear tire a good going over but I did get the DIC to cycle finally yesterday and the rear was holding air ok, so...
