    Who Says You Can't Drive a Corvette in the Winter?

    The only problem I ever had driving in the winter was with my ’61 with Mud and Snow tires back then that were patterned off the rear wheels of a John Deere. When you did hit some dry pavement your teeth would soon be rattling to the tune of Jingle Bells. The ride comfort was a bit dependent on...

    Hi from west-central Ohio!

    Welcome to CAC. Now tell us more about the "wrap". Cost, how do they handle the stick on emblems, and do you have a choice of door jams and other color that you may not want the added cost to cover. Looking at another coast to coast run again this year and really wanted to protect the nose...

    Help! TPMS cannot reset! Option button isn't working!??

    Don't remember ever using the "Option" button. Try it this way once..... Magnet method: With the key on, engine off, press both the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob. A horn chirp within 10 seconds indicates the TPMS receiver is in the programming mode. Place the magnet (Horse shoe or...

    Relief is just $1500 Away

    Winter, put away the plastic and get out the tin? You should see that poor old '98 in the picture today. GM don't put them on the road looking that good. People that know my cars wait for them to go on the market and I can show you the last three. As far as driving in the winter I run a second...

    Relief is just $1500 Away

    I feel ypur pain. Coming back from South Carolina in 1999 there was over a foot of snow followed me home to Northern Ohio, I40 in N.C. and Tenn. was a hoot. Had the same thing happen in the C6 but it to did remarkably well for that much snow, only about 6-8 inches that time. Had the C7 out all...

    Question: Dash/Information/8-speed Automatic

    Thanks for the feedback. but it's not there on the '15. Tried all phases of the sport mode and no dice. The indication that you are running in manual mode shows in that location with gear number where the big D is normally, so I may still be missing something. Thanks again :thumb

    Question: Dash/Information/8-speed Automatic

    After looking at the gear selection "D" for a year now I can't help but wonder why there could not be the gear number that the transmission is actually in displayed in the middle of the "D"? Just a few extra pixels would do the trick.

    reasonably priced run flat?

    Four wheel alignment If you are running factory alignment specs it will take about 8,000 mile to have all the noise and cupped tires you need on the front. There are a number of posts on this and other sites with specs that will give you a long and quiet ride and believe me it is not the...

    Press Release General Motors Lightens the Corvette with Continental Structural Plastics’ TCA® Ultra Lite™

    There has been honey comb panels used for decades and to me a bubble structure would be much harder to get to fail. With the honey comb all it took was to get one of the walls to fail and if there was enough stress for that I'm sure other walls would follow. In the case of a bubble you don't...

    Please Read and Consider.......................................................

    Need a home for the winter I have this batch of bees that need a bit warmer place to stay this winter as the wall of their house looks thin. If you can hear the box when it gets there best you put it in frig for awhile before you open it. No need to retun them in the spring, I got more.

    Question: Metal in oil filters?

    Not sure why the filter should not have a recall request but to its credit, GM acknowledges it’s aware of the problem and is "analyzing its manufacturing process for a root cause." Taken from carbuzz.com

    Question: Metal in oil filters?

    Not sure where you got the LS7 worked in here??? Most of the chatter came from news release "replies" to the LT1 C7 engine failure and some blogs. Car and Driver uncovers trouble with Corvette Stingray's LT1 V8 - Autoblog 2014 Corvette Stingray Blown Engine Issue | GM Authority Car & Driver...
