Car runs fine, what's wrong?
When i hit the gas, I get smooth, crisp acceleration. In the mornings, there's no steering rack sickness, and not a drop of anything on the floor. The engine sounds healthy, no smoke, or excessive oil use. There's no cracking or popping in the suspension.. I can't figure it out, it's never done this before. Maybe I need a new pilot wrench.. :p:

Car is obviously suffering from not being driven often enough and hard enough!
If this condition persists, take a week off and drive cross country!

Sometimes if I threaten my car saying I will sell her she acts perfect. This is what is happening to you. Enjoy it :cheers:.

Smash, you deserve to enjoy the ride :cool: Most of the CF postings are by design looking for solutions to the latest problem to affect our vettes. I have often thought that an outsider surfing the forum would rank our cars as troublesome. Maybe it would be theraputic to read a few more positive posts to start 02 :cheers:
