Bobby...can't help on the DBS.....much has been posted previously, but do have a question about the Captree cruise-in. Saw a couple of posts about it, but nothing on the events calendar. Was that a one time event or a regular thing?

Thanks,
Dave

Welcome to the Club........Drove my Vette Thursday and parked it overnight in the garage..........dead as a door nail Friday morning.........4th time and the frequency is increasing........new last January, then dead September, again in December and now in January........

Left it in reverse, no lights on and I live in Florida, so it's not the cold weather.......it's in the shop today, so we'll see what they can find.....been there before and they couldn't find the problem...???

No need to crawl in to open the door...there is a lever over the wheel well and if you pull it, the door will open....

I had the DBS twice. Took it to the dealer and had a new battery installed at no charge.
