I now hold the Wolfdogs in high regard for showing his car in an un perfect state. This must be a first? It always looks Zaino clean.

How do you keep the humidity from creating havoc with the exposed metal in your car??? Mine shows surface rust just from natural humidity let alone what a dryer would create!

the way the house is designed it would take a hundred feet of dryer hose. I simply open one side of the garage and that kills any moisture and humidity probs....but not the dust

Odd placement for the front windshield sticker..?

Some kind of State license?

That would bug me and it looks huge too.

What gives?

I'd vent the dryer outside too although I would imagine the hose would need cleaning often being so long...hence another problem.

EZ Solution: trade for a silver C6 Coupe.
No need to reroute or extend dryer vent hose.

^^just as dusty, cleaned only with a CA Duster once a month (whether it needs it or not) since 2/08^^

that doesn't work well. The hose will eventually get clogged with damp lint - that turns into a hard caked caca. Out last house was that way. They used 3 in pvc and it was always a problem.

Ken,
I recommend the need-for-speed method. Then you don't need to raise the hood (or remove the car cover) to connect / disconnect the batt tender. I use this method on my Corvette, Camaro, and Silverado.



I wired the ring terminals from the battery tender supplied harness to the small screw on each battery terminal. After I took this picture, I revised it. I bought another nut for each terminal and sandwiched the ring terminal between the original nut and the added one.

If you don’t buy the extra nut - when you loosen the original nut - it can loosen the cable clamp - so beware of that.



I bought a 12 foot extension harness made for the battery tender from batterymart.com. I put it all under the hood, and routed it out through the front grill, secured it with a tie wrap, and left enough length to fold it back in place when not connected. I can hook it up without ever raising the hood.

Just be sure to put a red rag on the windshield when it's hooked up so you don't forget and hop in and drive. (ask me how I know )



There you go - no need to ever raise the hood to plug it in. Just like an electric car, with 436 HP
