Re: Bloomingto0n Gold
Sorry Vito, no one said it was an economy car or even tried to present it as such. The thread was dealing with their value and (I added) continued use of Corvettes with the high gas prices. Do you really do things by what other "folks" might think? We all drive what we need, can afford, and/or want just as those "folks" do.

Re: Bloomingto0n Gold
Sorry folks, but there is NO WAY that folks think of Corvette when they think of economy car. I do not care if it does get 28 mpn on the highway. What does it get in the city where many folks are driving? What mileage does it get when you romp on it like most vette drivers do. Sheesh. Vito

Z06 review in C&D
Latest Car and Driver mag just hit my doorstep (Aug issue). They compare the Z06 with the Viper, 911 GT-2 and the GT-R. Seems the GT-R came out first, followed by the Porsche, Viper and Vette. The Vette did the worst in brake feel, steering feel, and handling. Did the best in Ride. Seems the car is tuned for a nice ride. I can appreciate

Re: C5 Turn Signals Not Working
That doesn't sound too bad. I was visualizing unbolting the whole thing from the firewall. Of course, there's that ever-so-slight smell of coolant with the heater on full blast, so that fun is undoubtedly in the near future anyways. With 130k miles on the clock I really need to break down and buy a GM manual.

Re: C5 Turn Signals Not Working
Not a show stopper but you're right, the center of the dash and those air vents have to come out. The flasher is the hazard switch. As a stop gap try cycling the switch while blowing air into it, sometime it is just crud in the contacts. Sorry, don't have that manual any more or I'd give you the method for R&R.

C5 Turn Signals Not Working
The turn signals stopped working on my 2000 C5 when the weather is hot. No flash. No click. Nothing. Both sides. Some googling indicates it's probably the flasher/hazard light switch and that the dash pad has to come out. Does that sound right? How much work am I getting myself into? I can R&R the whole dash on my Grand Cherokee in an afternoon, but it

Re: IOWA Floods
I've never been to New Orleans, but I lived in Cedar Rapids for a year. I met a lot of wonderful people there. It's sad to see what they're going through, but they'll pull through. They're that kind of people. And they're very left leaning. As a crazy right wing redneck gun toting Virginian, I was like a fish out of water over there.

Re: Bloomingto0n Gold
In a way you're correct with this in mind, a Corvette is not a necessary vehicle for transportation. The excellent gas mileage of the C4, 5 and 6 will keep them in use when they are needed. The collectors will stay in the garage a bit more but I don't think that's what may have brought the prices down in this case. Collector cars (Corvette)
|
Re: Bloomingto0n Gold -ot
Potentially, it's the other way around. With the exception of the Corvette, much of the GM line combines a high profit for the dealer along with low gas mileage for the customer. When Chevy dealers 'discover' they can make more profit from a Corvette sale than from a bushel of Aveos they will learn how to sell Corvettes.
|
Re: Bloomingto0n Gold
Do you think gas prices are putting a damper on the Corvette market?? I don't think it should since the C5 and up get really great mileage, all things considered. Besides the true collectible ones are not driven that much, I'd guess.

Well, we're back from another Bloomington Gold, only this time I have 2 more cars than what I had when I left. Prices were down about 30-40% and less than 30% of the cars going across Mecum's block were being sold. The stars were 3 serial #1 cars, a 55, 56 and 57, each carrying serial number 001. They were restored to a point beyond perfect, each getting a
