Help me help a lady in need
It sounds like you need a scan tool (not a code reader). Need to figure out what module isn't doing its job. Where is the stranded car located? -
Just a reminder
In the old days (turbo 350), you could run the trans dry, conk out on the side of the road, refill it and still get another 10K miles out of it! LOL Today? If you run it with 2 ounces less, forget it, car's totaled. -
Corvette guys… show your rides
Like Brad said, there are soooo many variables for a car that old. Regardless of the condition (which sounds like it's in pretty decent shape), you need to sit in it and drive it. You don't get in a C4, you put a C4 on! I found driving mine (for nearly 20 years) to be very comfortable but... -

Beautiful! Looks like a twin to mine. What color is it? -
Just a reminder
It finally caught up to me a couple of years ago. I've done countless oil changes and I knew as soon as I started the truck exactly what happened. Started it, looked under, ****, shut it off and picked up the old filter. Dagnabit! You'd think that more gasket is gooder, right? Nope. -
Question for the semi-pro mechanics
Four-post with a jack tray. Big plus is that you can move the 4-post if you get the caster kit. -
MUSCLE CARS: The Beauty of Classics & Moderns Super-Cars
My friend's 69 Camaro RS SS Convertible resto mod, LS3 supercharged and my '14 Corvette Z51 Vert this past weekend. -
We ain’t gonna make it! Who of you would buy this kinda truck?
I've said it before: plug in electric is a very niche market, it's not prime time. I believe hybrid is the perfect compromise. Use the torque of electric and the steady state hp of internal combustion and it can be applied to nearly every application. That being said, we own both a Kia Niro... -

I FOUND it!!! The car that was custom ordered for me! :) 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 3LT 7-Speed Mag Ride Convertible in Race Blue Metallic!! Instead of the way too common Kalahari (peanut butter) interior, this is a relatively rare Brownstone. It's such a warm and inviting color. The... -

I know. It's just that color just doesn't do it for me. Definitely seems to be a love it or hate it color. -

Nice! I'm actually looking for a C7 Z51 7-speed Midnight Race Blue Metallic with ANYTHING other than that peanut butter interior! 😆 -

Honestly, as much as I love the C4, I would not hesitate to go for the C6. The LSx engines are sooooo common and everyone works on them. Not that you need a mechanic though, those things are super reliable!! The interior actually feels spacious yet maintains the cockpit feel of driving a... -

Not really. There is a guy that has stockpiled NOS as well as farmed out reproduction parts (gaskets, etc) and he's had everything necessary. There may come a day when a certain part just doesn't exist anymore but I haven't found that to be the case yet. -

1991 ZR-1, owned it for 18 years now! -
Anyone who has rebuilt an engine should appreciate this
Seems I watched the same thing happen on an episode of Bitchin' Rides! But, he was able to get it though the door with a bit of creativity and muscle! -
Finally got my dream car
Oh! Well, in that case, Coyote Engine time!!! -
Finally got my dream car
That is awesome! I assume it's all numbers matching, I'd keep it that way! Keep us updated on the resto!! -
Best Sleeper sedan
BMW's little 135i is a little sleeper. Friend had one and it was quick and handled great! -
Do you drive your classic car or new dream car, now that you have it?
Drive it? Hell, I TRACK it! :D It has 220,000 miles on it and climbing. Why would I not drive it? It's an absolute thrill! -
C-4 Corvette Doctor Needed
That's a pretty good list, if I had a 4-post lift in my garage, I'd knock it out but I have had my Z on stands many times with no problems. I would say you could do 80% of what's on your list by yourself, especially if you have the FSM.
