I follow this YouTube channel, Engineering Explained, for a few years and the nerd rarely disappoints. Even though I will never own a Z06 or the ZR1 (dam you LottoMax! :Banghead:) I found this pretty interesting. This video explains the differences between the C8 Z51, the E-Ray, the Z06 and the...

Okay. A C7 owner going to dip a toe in C8 waters .... :rolleyes: Have you had your battery disconnected recently? I'm thinking you need to "index" your windows? .... Its a C6, C7 thingy .... :Cheers2:

Now here is something really different and fun. The races are this Saturday and are free. The weather is supposed to be in the high 20°C. Cathy and I will be there in the Vette with some Camaro friends. We plan on parking on the street on the north side of the river. Red Bull Soapbox Race...

Hey. Yeah I think your plan is best. The dealer needs to sort this out. And talk to a Service Advisor or the Service Manager. They should have the knowledge or access to the contact with the solution. FWIW, why not temporarily cover the hole so dust doesn't get inside the panel or possibly...

I found out the hard way that my old C6 used plastic fasteners in certain places that are pushed or tapped in place with a mallet but you use a screw driver to remove them. They too seemed to not bite into the threads. This was a difficult concept for a crusty old electrician to learn. I say, if...

Hi. I sent you a DM (direct message). :Cheers2:

Hi. I go to a Chev dealership for almost everything. Wolff Chev (formerly Westgate Chev) has a very experienced shop supervisor, Earl Wong. I would book my car for diagnostics (not free and I think they have a set, published rate for this?) and request to chat with Earl once the diagnostics has...

I have Expel PPF basically on the front and rockers and the whole car is ceramic coated. I love the ceramic and recently had it refreshed. I get a lot of tree pollen in my neighborhood. It is a fine green dust that is slightly gritty. It washes off my car pretty easy. OTOH, my truck is not...

Hi Brock. IMHO I'd buy the C3 at a fair price then buck up the extra money to get it into good condition and back on the road. The extra cost is redeemable when you drive your baby, top open, and with a big smile. :cool: I know it will cost a fair chunk of change but you will be back in a...

Hi Vacek. Considering this is a new C8, I suspect the car cover was purchased with his C8. And I also suspect the cover is designed by CoverKing in the USA. I was gifted mine by my Chevrolet dealership a week after I received my car. :cool: So, I figure CoverKing might be the preferred supplier...

Yeah, and Cathy plans to attend again too. She met a nice lady from Calgary last year. They seemed to hit it off and chatted up a storm. See also enjoyed a walk down main street Bentley. We didn't stop for a bite at the tavern though. Maybe we will this year? :Cheers2:

There has been a couple members from Saskatchewan in previous years. :Seeya: :Cheers2:

Hi. Yes, I plan to attend and hope for some top-down weather. :Cheers2: .... Of course as soon as I reply Cathy reminds me the cruise falls on Mother's Day. I told her the cruise is a nice gift. :D

Ruffy. You might have your finger on the pulse? :D Uniden accomplishes the bare minimum but does it very poorly. Go with the Bell or Passport to avoid frustration and disappointment. :Cheers2:

I avoid anything from Uniden. Their doorbell c/w camera and security systems are the absolute worst I have ever experienced. The only good thing about Uniden products is they're inexpensive.
