what do I hate? that its always broken! I just want to drive the damn thing!!!!!!!

I've recently had to build a new engine as the timing chain snapped on the original. I built a 383 and now its developed a problem and is firing out of the Intake/Air Filter on 1 cylinder.

Maybe its just not meant to be...

Two minutes to remove the access panel on the inner fender.

Try it sometime.

Default Hmmmm....

While I do love my car I wish GM would have done a few things about:

1. Chasis flex. This ties into the targa top problems... I have a harness bar, Camber brace and will be installing a Cross Frame soon. Hopeful it will be as rigid as a Toyota Corolla. Cost to fix? about $1000.00

2.) Floppy door panels.

Wow it seems like you guys all got lemons. I mean every morning I get in my 95 turn the key listen to the long tubes and the hot cam and drive it an hour to work ........ then 12 hours later I turn the key and drive it a half-hour home...........and then put several hundred miles on it over a weekend and I've been doing this ever since I bought it just over 3 years ago. ONE THING I noticed about you guys that are bitching is that none of you seem to be driving Polo Green Vettes and I hate to tell ya this but I feel that is your main problem. EVERYONE knows that the Polo Green vettes are by far the most reliable.

Rick, get that C4 out of the garage man. Unlike C5s the C4 doesn't melt in the rain. I drive from Everett to Seattle & back every day even on those few snow days we get

I hate the birds that leave big piles of white dung on the fiberglass. GD birds seem to have "vette radars"...

I hate the rough idle, ticking rockers, loud exhaust, premium gas guzzler, bald tires, taking corners at 70, and people looking at me weird when I rip blacktop out of their driveway with my rear tires..

.. wait, what are we talking about again? =\

You know you can push the handle back down after setting the parking brake, right?

I hate that it's too damn sexy for my pants. It's too damn sexy for my shirt.............

But I love how it handles, and how good it looks.

Right now I hate that my Vette is in the shop again. Two electrical problems at same time. Short in alternator (I think) and while I was driving the passenger side window quit working. I also hate that simple chores on my older Chevys are difficult tasks on Vettes, valve cover, lights, power windows, u joints, etc.

I hate that it's 25 years old and parts break on it because it's 25 years old. Other then that I love the stupid car.
