Default Z06 Dropping Valves
People are always telling to watch out for dropped valves on my Z. I constantly check under the car, but never see any

Ya it sucks to check for dropped valves, cause they only drop when you're going over 100, or cornering really hard so you slam your car into a tree or concrete wall, or cement mixer.
You cant say it wasnt an awesome ride tho. lol
