New stuff is supposed to be close to 10. Maybe longer if the car is kept out of the elements.

Gotcha. Of course it hasn't been around long enough to find out.

Eh. I'll drive one and see, but I don't imagine I'll be that into it.

The Indy Standoff. STI vetoed. Gayman/Boxster vetoed. Result: New Toyota Sienna.

This situation sucks. It's no fun asking someone to start over but 3 grand is a lot of money for clear plastic film.

Why does the wife veto this but an M3 is okay?

Because she likes M3s and thinks STis are stupid.

It's her money too.

I'm just asking........

Also the last gen Civic pattered grid squares in the rear bumper over the exhaust........ Pretty major felony on a car that costs $85K.....they were ugly enough on a 21 year old's car.

Your preference in Corvettes is noted for the record, and duly considered. Not getting a black car, black wheels, or a red interior. Brand new 2LT order with Brola is $88K, 1LT is $81K. Forged APEX ramz are another $4K. Also I just need to rent a C8. :doit: I think they’re amazing on paper, just wi...

It looks awesome, dude. Thanks! Hopefully it also looks awesome in person and feels good on my test drive tomorrow. I’d say at this point I’m 80% set on it, but if something seems off in person I won’t have a problem walking away. Of course I’m hoping it looks/feels amazing and that it’s something ...

I think the dealo is that they "fixed it" in 2017 but I have not researched it. LG also offered some epic triple radiator kit or some such. I'm mostly offering it as my contribution to content today because by and large prices are not terribly reasonable. And the almost 95% selection of c...

I am looking at the C7Z for the same reason that Gberg got a manual M3. Last chance for a high horsepower manual car. It's not practical (except the hatch, which is amazingly practical as any corvette owner knows) it sucks gas, it doesn't "put down the power," and to further compound thin...

I will join the camp of the big dick engine is pointless. Don’t C7Zs also have major cooling problems ? I am also a guy that moved on from a Corvette to a 200 hp highschooler car so go ahead and ignore me. I still have that 10% of hope that there will be some sort of swansong manual C8. Ist bolded:...

There is NO WAY you should have "peace of mind" when buying this car. Those are words associating with a Toyota Camry. But you have mitigated some of your potential damage. I feel like he has pretty reasonable expectations for what it will and won’t be :iono: :sawce: has also looked at se...

Ha. Fair.

I mean, have fun with it. But it you don't have a tool chest, now is the time.

PPFgate

Another nice thing is that the seller is your coworker. It is at least pretty safe to assume he isn’t trying to fuck you or dump a huge problem on you. I have always believed that you are buying the previous owner as much as the car when talking about a used purchase. Absolutely. I don’t think he w...

But

I had a C6GS. It's not enough of a leap.

Or the AWACS

Forgot about the plane too. Needs a screaming bald eagle too.

What about a C7 GS? Or are they too

C8>C7GS. Gotta have the big dick engine

A 1967 WETTE is a masterpiece of design from a bygone area, when you could leave your door unlocked, were friends with your neighbors etc. America was the worlds envy in engineering/manufacturing etc. No plastic inside the interior and everything is metal/chrome/rubber. A C7 is a C5.2 designed duri...
