I usually pull the cover off around mid-March. I won't hit the roads until they have been reasonably washed clean by the rain. I don't mind a little dirt but the appearance of salt on my car is a...

I fill mine when I store for the winter. Condensation is my main concern. Sometimes I add some fuel stabilizer.

I think I'd consider the reputation of the dealer and whether or not he has a good Corvette tech with the proper training. If those things are favorable and the price is acceptable, go for it....

I have had the 1st gear pop-out situation on my 2014, maybe 6 times in 7 years?? I can say that I am confident it was my "operator error". I simply did not fully engage with the tranny cold. Has...

I don't know if the position of my car in the 2014 run has anything to do with it, but my 2LT/Z51/M7/MRC/NPP has been perfect. The car was produced in February with a 16000+ VIN number. Would surely...
