    Cigarette Lighter problem

    Any of you C-5 owners ever had your cigarette lighter socket come out? I was pulling out my GPS unit and the whole socket came out!:ack2: It looks like it has threads on it and it just might screw back in. But before I stick my fingers in there to see how it gets power and I "get" the power...

    Scam Alert

    I would think this was pure BS but it just happened to Star & I. We received our Alltel bill and there was a $9.99 charge on it for "Purchased Items". I called Alltel to inquire as to what I "purchased" and they could only tell me that it was from a "third party" and more or less pay it or...

    New garage!

    Star & I waited for cooler weather before starting on our "project". We emptied the garage, painted all the walls, installed track lighting, put up some shelves, bought new cabinets from Lowes (Black & Decker) and installed Race Deck flooring. The floor took about 6 hours, thanks to a neighbor...

    Chevy Tracker

    I know this has nothing to do with Corvettes but I don't know if the web has a "Tracker" forum. Star and I just bought a used '04 Tracker (Chevy's little shrunken Blazer) and for daytime running lights it uses the low beams. I really don't want my headlights on all the time and would like to...

    NCRS

    A couple of weekends back, Adams had a wax seminar at the Quaker Steak & Lube in St. Pete. I got there early and they used my '03 as a demo car. Neat stuff and I ended up buying just about everything. The local distributor just e-mailed me and asked if I would let them have the '03 for use in...

    Preditor vs. Alien II

    Couldn't wait for the opening, was first in the door for the 12:30PM show. Star said "no way, go enjoy yourself". Kindof disappointed. Shot mostly in the rain and fast closeups but lots of blood and gore! :ack2: Wasn't up to the first three. Very disappointing end. :thumbsdown: Wait for...

    AntiVenom & Vette

    Props to AntiVenom and their recent article in Vette magazine regarding "Gimme Fuel" I had forgotten that this machine existed and the article reminded me. I have a C-4 (1986) that has 205,000 miles on it and still has the original injectors that have never been touched! :ack2: Needless to...

    Clutch fluid

    I was on the "other" forum the other day and read about changing the clutch fluid? :shrug01: I had heard rumors about our 6-speed C-5's having "clutch fluid" but didn't give it much thought. Y'all got to remember I started driving in the 50's and a clutch had a big fork and spring, throwout...

    At least kiss me!

    ...when I get screwed that is... :rant: When Star & I bought her '03 Electron Blue Vette I searched for a wax that would give me a "liquid" look. (I've owned my white '86 for 21 years and 'cause it's white really never cared, just used what was on sale.) BUT, this EB needed a great wax. I...

    CD's from home unit

    What am I doing wrong? I downloaded some cassettes to my PC, put them on a Memorex CD-R. They play on my home unit but when I put them in the Vette I get the "ERR" message. Am I using the wrong CD and if so why does it work on my home unit and not the car? :banghead:

    Road trip

    As y'all can see by the new avatar, we did it. Left Sunday the 9th and headed for Bowling Green. Twelve hours and 775 hours later we arrived at the Bryce Inn. It started raining in Nashville and didn't quit until later the next afternoon. Crap! I have been thru the St. Louis plant years ago...

    Wheel

    Well, I went and did it. On the way home from a class reunion in Indiana parked at a hotel in Macon and didn't see the curb and wham!!! The left front wheel is damaged. Not that it isn't usable but it can't be shown that way. Anybody out there got a stock C-5 wheel for an '03??? Polished...

    GPS

    Does anyone know anything about the Lowrance 250C GPS unit? I was at a party last night and we were talking about GPS units and some had a Garman but one of my "techies" told me the Lowrance is less expensive and a better unit. Garman is around $500 and the Lowrance is $200. I e-bayed them...
