Congrats. I feel like this thread is just a happier version of this: https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExempscXQ3cjdvY2gxbjFmNHQxb3R5bzg3eW9semRvMnV0YTRjbDVpbSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Da1rDgu0Mo2di/giphy.gif I thought about that :lolol: I’m all about it though. I mean,...

I love this thing! Glad you’re enjoying so far. Any thoughts on exhaust or intake? I know I’m a ricer but these sound so cool with the supercharger. Amir has much available

I’m for some 5/7 content out of this thing!

I'm confused by this whole thing. I give Mrs. H full decision making over a lot of things we do: all decorating for the house, what renovation projects get priority etc. When it comes to cars, she knows that's my world and gives zero shits about what I drive. Hell, she even let's me have a large in...

Am I :wrong: though? Not throwing any shade, I'm on this boat as much as the next guy... but like most major life decisions are :tits: driven, particularly housing. Find me a dude who actually picked where he lives if he isn't single. Being slightly inconvenienced by a manual once a month just feel...

:dat: The whole :tits: can't drive :manuel: like once/month or whatever is such a :bs: :pout: :seriously: argument. Like, my mom is the worst driver I've ever ridden with and daily drove a manual in Lake Effect PA winters for decades. :whocares: I'm not asking anyone to 'suffer through it' everyday...

Maybe its just time to change who you are and like the Pcar since asking a woman to change is like asking Putin to retire. :bruh: I'm already dailying a minivan. Now I need to drive an automatic PCar to make the wife happy? FML. :dat: The whole :tits: can't drive :manuel: like once/month or whateve...

This situation sucks. It's no fun asking someone to start over but 3 grand is a lot of money for clear plastic film. It does suck but from his point of view maybe he should've done it right the first time? Don't rush jobs and overbook cars because this is the result. The fender badges are 3 clips. ...

:doit: I think they’re amazing on paper, just wish they looked a bit better. Black actually kind of suits it, much like a new WRX , it hides some of the weird lines. It's like Ferrari is making EVEN BETTER looking cars, the 296 GTB is just incredible in my opinion, and I understand that ok, that co...

I thought you would like this Used 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Preferred Cpe w/ 2LT for $65996 on Autotrader http://atcm.co/S2PVDP/29FD60EF. Look here my dude and stop shopping C5s Your preference in Corvettes is noted for the record, and duly considered. Not getting a black car, black wheels,...

If you go for two wheel sets, winter or all weather tires might be another option. We have a similar climate in terms of snow, rarely cold enough and the 0-3 days/year with it I just opt to not drive. We could share the as well if it snows.

I’m about this car.

I do miss my Corvette some, the only car I think about longingly that I’ve had.

I think you are right that the overheating problems are on the track but it’s still kind of gives me pause considering the car was built for the track. That said, it is a sweet car, and if it tickles your fancy and prices get into a reasonable realm, I’d say go for it. I think the dealo is that the...

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...

Why is it always something?

Mk6 - Watergate & water pumps
Mk7 - Old lady rear ending + constant misfires
Mk7.5 - Old lady t bone. No such thing as diminished value
M3 - PPFgate

On a positive note, an M3 after three straight golfs is pretty epic.

Absolutely. I don’t think he would fuck me over, and knowing how he is with his cars gives me some solid peace of mind. 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 dama...

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.

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.

Yea honestly I don't know the level of detail these guys are supposed to get to. I have had PPF'd cars before and I would say that type of stuff is just "normal". The bubbles however... :nope: I do get that you've special ordered a special car and want it to be perfect. I just don't expec...

anyone doing anything for the eclipse? I'm taking the kid on trip to the totality, looks like Marion IL will be the spot. We saw the totality back in 2017 or whenever in Greenville, SC. Totally worth it! This time I have a flight from CLT to Grand Rapids at 3, made sure to grab a window seat as tha...

Maybe if they’re newer you could just reach out directly and they may try to make it right to avoid tarnishing the reputation in the states. Sorry you’re dealing with the :bs: man, $3k is a lot to think about flushing down the toilet. I thought about that too. I’ll reach out to them directly depend...

Carboner race seats are ridiculous in a car that is supposed to be some kind of executive/high end vehicle. Anybody have a wife/girlfriend here who is going to approve that option? One of the reasons the M3 got approved by your superior officer is that it is somewhat double duty. I mean, fuck it, s...

What brand is the film? Most of them have their own warranties. I had a dude do PPF on my GTI when I first bought it, and he fucked a few pieces up and wouldn't do anything to make it right. It was 3M film though and I worked with them to find another authorized installer to get it redone under the...
