You got that right! I have been seeing so many posts on what everyone is doing with their vettes to spice them up....I wanted to join in on the fun but refused to until I got that damn rattle fixed! haha Now that it's done, yes I can quit worrying about it and start having fun and enjoy the ride!

Default Battery Condition

My 2002 owners manual says;[non-sic]

No need for "no stinking outside meter"
