See photo of winder sticker for details.  I purchased this vehicle almost 6 years ago, it had 4,000 miles when purchased.  I drive it only when there are conditions that would be bug or nearly bug free, never in the rain, and always under roof.  It's in very good to excellent condition given the age.  This car is extremely powerful, if you can't handle speed, this car is not for you.  The remote CD cartridge in the trunk has failed, I replaced it and that cartridge failed as well.  I simply replaced it with a MP3 cord which works just fine.  

Corvettes are not comfortable machines, the noise level is high, some will have trouble getting in with the low entry point, but if you need to drive a well made speed machine that hugs the road like no other American built vehicle, this is it.  I've had a great deal of fun when I did take it out.  

I'm past the age I need to be driving a vehicle like this.  People will turn their heads when you drive by, if you don't like attention from the public or police, again this will not be the car for you.

Gas mileage is surprisingly good you can expect over 20 on the highway easy.  Insurance and taxes aren't bad either.  

The removable roof needs adjustment, if the wind is blowing hard you will get leakage.  

The body is in near mint condition, I can't think of one scratch on the surface.  

I used to tarp it but I didn't like the tarp rubbing the surface so the past few years it gets dusty in the garage but I take it out on perfect days and wash it and park it.

My daughter reminded me last night that she had asked to use the car in her wedding but I wouldn't let her, I know that's terrible but that's how protective I've been. 

The leakage as described above is air leakage.

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error

Sun, Feb 8 2015

After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
