Well, you would lose that bet 92 times.

Don't tell me you did a search!

Of course, we don't have a clear definition of "the forum." Does it mean the whole CF or just C6?

Try the big search button on the upper right side of the page and see how many you come up with.

Considering how many old farts are on the forum, I'm surprised that it was used less than 1,000 times.

Can we please get back to the concern of the OP?

I'm afraid that if we don't properly address this problem, he might do something stupid. Like continue worrying about it. Please. Reach out and lend a hand to this poor guy.

Over in C7, there was a guy highly upset that the depth of the center console was insufficient for his needs. We haven't heard back from him after several pages of 'helpful hints' and I'm afraid that he just was not able to cope and may have done something drastic.

Life is so difficult.

It's really unbelievable to imagine that button could bother someone enough to start a thread about it. What happened to "don't sweat the small stuff!"

It's no secret the vette interiors could be a lot nicer, and there are many options to dress them up if someone wants to.

Nor I.

I use "God willin' and the crick don't rise."

Methinks Mrs. Ow just likes to pick on old guys.

This thread is like a song you can't get out of your head. Now when I get in my Vette, I will notice that button every time. Darn you OP!

Also, I like the factory color of the button. It stands out so I can find it in the dark.

Get notified of new replies
