New Vette

Finally was able to get a Vette. No idea why I waited so long. Picked it up with 70k yesterday running on no sleep, bc I work night shift. Can't wait for spring to come around. I live 30 mins from the new Bowling Green track

Looking for c5 z06 wheels to replace these.

Nope. I've looked several times for Vettes thus why I joined up, but just never pulled the plug. Wife made a deal I can have a Vette if she can have a baby.

You both will have a lot of enjoyment out of both....the baby and the Vette. I have two 40 year old girls and speak to them daily.

You realize your wife won, right? That baby's gonna cost you more than a loaded C7 Z-06...

I wouldn't trade my daughter for a fleet of Vettes. Becoming a father, you are about to embark on the best part of this journey called life. Congrats!

Nice score on the Vette too!

Welcome to the asylum...

Very nice ride.

Looks great, also have an FRC (Z06). Agreed on the wheels though, a bit odd looking.
As for babies, it'll change your life for the good. I have 2 girls; turning 4 and 1 soon. I can't even explain....

P0410 is "air system" code and I believe "h" means a history code that happened in the past. Not sure what the "c" is.

get on the following website for a list of all the codes for future reference:

The Secondary Air Induction System has to do with an Emissions issue.

Here is a definition

The Secondary Air System pumps outside fresh air into the Exhaust System during cold engine start up. This additional air helps burn up the highly rich exhaust emissions that are produced when the engine is warming up. The Secondary Air System typically has an Air Pump and some tubes or plumbing to route the air. The system also has a solenoid and Check Valve(s) to control the air flow.

Common Problems That Trigger the P0410 Code

Defective Check Valve(s)
Faulty Air Pump or Air Pump Relay
Faulty air control solenoids or vacuum lines
System may be restricted or plugged with carbon
