Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth!

How could you take a look at it?
Oh dang. Do you do a lot of work on cars?

Hey guys, there are maybe 2-3 guys who know as much as Mike/Tracdawg on this forum, and maybe even the world, about vettes....

Thanks Steve,
I'm glad you're so impressed. But you're being way too modest. I do much more than just diff rebuilds and restorations on vettes. Anyone who's been to Cars and Coffee has seen my work.
But you go ahead and keep trying to trash me. I spend over 50K a year at Toms. Do you really think he is going to tell you anything if you actually do call him. Your criticizims, threats, and lies have done nothing more than expose the kind of person you really are. You obviously have mechanical talent and instead of putting it to good use helping people you discredit yourself with your actions. You spend hours on the computer trying to dig up dirt on me and find.......nothing.
There are two types of reputations. The one I have and the one you have. I'm proud of mine.
Now do try to not ruin another thread

Check the owner's manual. If memory serves, you may hear a chime (not a buzzer) if the ignition key is in the switch and the driver's door is opened. There may be a door ajar tell-tell light (also no buzzer). Check to see if there are door switches at the very bottom rear corrner of each door opening. Those are door ajar.

Yeah there's supposed to be a chime but mine doesn't do anything. And I don't know where the switches are supposed to be. I don't have an owners manual
