  1. I am in the process of trying to set up another gathering at the Corvette museum this year. I just wanted to invite everyone that can to try to attend. I will be getting with the museum in a couple of weeks. We had a good time last year hopefully we can have a bigger crowd this year. I will try to get the track at Beech Bend again also. Will keep you posted later. Thanks Jim

  2. I had mine quit about 2 months ago, it cost me $430.00 to fix but be careful because i had to go 3 times the first time my odometer read over 100,000 miles I took it back and then i noticed they lost the total hours on my motor and now they say it cant be put back in so now my total hours on the motor are wrong and I dont remember what they were.

  3. I just wanted to vent on what my put my poor truck through this last week. First I was backing out of a parking lot and hit a yellow concrete pole and scratched yellow paint all on my corner bumper. Thats not the worst 3 days later I was almost home sleepy as heck with my boys in the truck and ran off one side of the road got it back on just before a bad culvert which would have flipped us only to over correct and go off the other side of the road scraping against tree limbs. Well with the AWD it didnt take much to get out but I was scared to look when I got home. I had deep scratches on both sides of my truck, luckily only the cladding. So I take it to a shop I took it to last year after Lowes scratched my tailgate cap. The guy says it looks like you hit a deer trying to swerve to miss it I can see some hair on the truck. He says if I tell the insurance I hit it it would be under my comprehensive and only be $250.00. He said they would take pics and send them to my insurance co. I messed one wheel up pretty bad. I happened to show him some dents on my hood I had done laying on it trying to help AAA unlock my door one time and he says that looks like where the deer hit my truck. Now I am really not one for dishonesty I would rather pay the $500.00 but I may be wrong but if I can get it for $250.00 wouldnt you?

  4. Does anyone have or know of anyone selling a blue front bumper, I hit a concrete pole yesterday and now it is yellow, I am going to see if it will buff out or paint over. If not I am going to turn into my insurance and try to replace. Talk about a bad day yesterday.

  5. We had one last Nov in Bowling Green,Ky We toured the corvette plant, toured the corvette museum and Sunday we went to Beech Bend Raceway Park and had races of the quickest trucks. I am in the process of trying to put together another one hopefully late spring, early summer. We actually had a good turnout even Tim (Taws04SS) came in from florida. I just spoke with him today about one this year and possibly changing things around. Let me know your feed back, THe corvette museum was interested in maybe if we keep it going it could be one of their sponsored events. Thanks Jim Oh yeah Kim we missed you last year I knew you had wanted to come but something came up. Maybe this year

  6. Mine also did this. With no warranty left went to dealership anyway. They said this is a known problem at GM and they would cover it up to 60K. But it would be a refurbished cluster / no charge. :thumbs:

    I love the term refurbished they didnt even tell me that but thats what I always get with a cell phone exchange. (Always Refurbished) whats it take to fix something anymore an act of congress.

  7. Well I took the truck in Friday and they said it would have to replace the whole cluster panel. Well guess what happened yesterday. I got pullled over I seen him coming and got out and showed him where I just had it in for that. MY speedo said 45 he said I was doing 73. Smart elec said I should have know the difference . I told him I knew it wasnt right but I didnt think I was running no 73. He told me to take the paperwork to court and try to get out of it I dont know if its worth all that. The whole cluster panel is like $485.00 and the ticket is like $130 something I cant win for losing.

  8. I was just wondering if there are many people who smoke in there trucks? I had always let my family smoke in my vehicles when I was younger even though I have never been a smoker myself.(cigs anyway shhh). Now that I dont let anyone smoke in my truck I can really tell the difference when I get into like my dad's truck or someone who does. I just never payed any attention to it when I was younger but now I cant stand it I would never buy a used vehicle that had been smoked in now for anything. Dont get me wrong I have nothing against it growing up with it all my life but I just personnally dont care for it.
