Automotive Forum for Supercars Lamborghini Ferrari Porsche

Corvette is gone. Got tired of it constantly breaking down. Bought an 04 4x4 Slate Grey Metallic Trailblazer LT with every option imaginable, except leather seats cause i hate those. So I'll still come to the meets, but not the cruises anymore. I never drive fast enough to do cruises anyways.

i like that one. that works. truth of the matter is that the rings were worn on some of the pistons causing major blow by, i lost 2nd and was starting to lose 3rd gear, the clutch was slipping bad, and there was a loud popping in the rear even though I replaced the broken ball joint and upper control arm. I was looking at $7000 in repairs. Screw that. Anyways I don't have time or patients for that piece anymore so I got rid of it while I could. My brothers automatic C5 is perfect. Just one sensor thats out, thats it. No popping, very few rattles, runs great, 30+MPG, reliable. Don't know why. I drive my vette smoother than him. Good news is since I upkeep his car, I can take it once a month to the corvette meets. They cruise very slowly everywhere. With you guys, most meets don't even involve a cruise anymore so I can just meet you with the TB, and if you are cruising, meet you at the destination. That is if I ever get a day off. Funny, how can someone never have a day off but still be broke?? Sucks to be me.
