In the late 1980's I lived in Oregon, and about 30 years ago I bought my first Vette, a 1968 327 4-sp. Private party, no warranty. 50 mile drive home, and on the way into town, there was construction on a long 2-lane bridge. When I tried to start again, the clutch was broken!? My wife...

I ran through the stock Goodyears quickly, and am almost ready for new tires after the Nitto Invos. Incidentally, the Nittos lasted more than twice as long, gave me better traction, and I chose not to worry about the lack of runflats. Everyone has a cell phone these days, so help is never far...

My wife's 2006 coupe came up with no oil pressure today when she first started it. She checked the oil and the dipstick says it's OK. Pretty sure it can't be a blocked filter since I do regular oil and filter changes. Is there a way to determine if the problem is the oil pump vs. just the...

On the way to work this morning (driving my DSOM Z as usual), I was stopped at a light and happened to look over at the white Ford dually next to me. A young guy in the passenger seat was extending his middle finger at me with a completely serious look. I had done nothing to specifically annoy...

My wife loves her C6 Coupe, but is VERY unhappy with how quiet it is. I see some people like the Corsa, but I'm not sure she will think they are loud enough. Her C5 Coupe sounded GREAT with Borlas. I hear BB makes loud exhausts. She drives mostly around town, so the highway drone isn't so...

The latest Corvette Quarterly had a article on Indy 500 pace cars, often considered collectibles. One they described in detail was the 1978 Corvette pace car, which was made available to the public as a replica, similar to the 2007 pace car, though in greater numbers. (The 2007 pace car is a...

The latest Corvette Quarterly had a article on the Indy 500 pace cars, often considered collectibles. One described in detail was the 1978 Corvette pace car, which was made availbe to the public as a replica, similar to the 2007 pace car, though in greater numbers. They said that at that time...

A month or two ago I finally went in for the roof recall. The dealer didn't treat me very well--promised to get it fixed in one visit, but hadn't even ordered the parts, till after the first visit. Anyway, it started creaking worse after the repair, and now I can lift one corner of the roof...

My wife and I both drive C6 Vettes, and now all of a sudden we have 5 kids (we had twins born prematurely about 2 months ago. Don't panic--we do have a 7 seat minivan, but I am wondering... Is there a possible way to safely and legally attach seatbelts in the storage area of a C6 Corvette and...

I was on the freeway south of Louisville a couple weeks ago in my DSOM Z and noticed a strange color on the outside rearview mirror. Sunlight going through the upper windshield (tinted area) at an angle hit the right rearview mirror and made it look Atomic Orange! It really didn't look bad...

I have heard from a source in Corvette engineering, whose name and position I can't disclose, that they are calling the car the "SS" Gersh

Beautiful Black 2002 Corvette Z06 I have a new Z06 and must sell my "old" one. It is the best car I ever owned till now. I personally think the C5 Z06 is more fun to drive than a C6 Coupe (I have done side-by-side comparison--see my write-up on page three of the C6 General Discussion)...

My new Z06 has speed-sensitive automatic volume control. I didn't know that, because I never listen to the radio. My wife told me about it while complaining that her new Coupe's automatic volume control doesn't work. I checked, and my car has four choices--off, min, med, and max. These are...

My 2006 Z has the map lights (under the mirror) on all the time--the buttons don't work. The car automatically turns all lights off 20 minutes after shutting the engine off, but that's the ONLY way I found to get these lights off--anybody have this problem or any ideas? Gersh

It is with regret that I decide to sell the car that I have had for four years and enjoyed more than any other car I ever owned, bar none. I need $33K for it--not much room for negotiation. I can't justify keeping two Z06s registered, insured, and don't have the extra garage space--so it is...

OK, this really isn't about Corvettes, but is one of my favorite jokes from back in Oregon... This guy was on the beach on the Oregon coast, shooting seagulls. He had about 3 on the sand when a state trooper pulls up and prepares to arrest him. "These are a protected species; there is no...

C5 Z06 and Coupe vs. C6 Z06 and Coupe (Picture links at end) INTRODUCTION By way of introduction and explanation, let me give a little history. Terri and I have been married for 20 years, and we had a 1968 convertible Vette with 4 speed and 327 about 17 years ago. We sold it before we moved...

I looked at the C6 color poll again recently, and Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic is still way ahead as far as "What color would you choose IF you were buying a new C6?" But the sales figures/ estimates I have heard say the opposite--DSOM is dead last--fewest of all the colors sold. Does this...

I have had my new Z06 for exactly 3 weeks today. I drive it to work nearly every day, and did on a nice nearly-spring morning today. I park close to the office, and when I looked out about 11:00, there was a landscaper weed-eating just in front of my car--actually one foot away from the front...
