Even though there appears to be virtually no damage, I'm going to take it in anyway to have it looked at. I'm waiting to get an appointment to get the estimate and once-over. It'll most likely be one...

Got hit by a drunk driver

Wednesday afternoon, I was coming home in my 2009 crystal red Vette, in the middle lane minding my own business, when I felt and heard a thump. Someone in a large SUV had hit my front passenger...

I'm guessing he's getting about the right rpm's (1500-1600 at those speeds) but thought it was way too low. Probably he's not familiar with V-8 engines. Most cars these days turn much higher at...

I use NTB (National Tire and Battery ... may be a regional chain) and they're pretty good. The tech that works on mine owns a Vette. And the dealer is generally a good choice too since they will...

No, it's not just phones that don't get it. I'm using a MacBook Pro and don't get it. I have AdBlock installed though. You might want to try that.

I think either body color or "classic" red. Yellow wouldn't really look all that good with orange, and black is sort of hard to see.

It might be tough painting the raised letters on the calipers,...

Doesn't the lawyer cost you more than the increased insurance premiums, even over a three year period?

I can't imagine the rates going up that much. My last ticket, about 3 or 4 years ago, was 67...

You can get a gallon of the stuff for $34 with free shipping ... so that's less than half the price of the quart size. But you have to supply your own spray bottle.

Pretty sure the bolster material is not leather. The only real leather parts on the seats are the center seat and center back (the parts that have perforations if you have >1LT).

I've only had my top off a couple of times ... it's just too noisy to drive at any speed. Maybe it's just me, but the air pulsations drive me nuts. Probably wouldn't be as bad if you had one of those...

Should be whatever his insurance deductible is. I suppose that would be covered under comprehensive, and it shouldn't raise rates since it was a no-fault unavoidable accident

Two issues just cropped up, but not simultaneously

The first started a couple of weeks ago when I got gas. The button on the dash to open the gas fill door quit working. I have to use the emergency cable in the hatch.

And over the weekend, my...

There's are several iPhone apps that do that. Search 0-60 in the App Store. One is called SprintBox. I don't know how well they work though.

Little if any color change here yet. Tulip poplar trees, which don't have much color anyway, have lost over half their leaves.

Texaco also has Techron in it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Texaco and Chevron additives are identical.

30 psi is the way to go.

I think I'd hold off on the Vette for a while and buy a Yugo for the time being. :)

Your monthly cost is more than my annual premium. Wait a while.

I had a single cup version in my C5 some years ago and the plastic back plate broke in half. That part needs to be stronger. The adjustable part worked fine.

Backing it in might work, but coming out of the driveway forward would definitely scrape. The noise is just annoying ... don't think you'd hit anything other than the plastic air dam.

What happens when the HB fails? Is it catastrophic?

I'm surprised that NSF's failed since his car is fairly new and he never drives it.
