I enjoy doing my own work, I think it is part of the fun of owning a sports car. I do worry about obsolescence, however.

IMHO, a Corvette is fairly easy to work on mechanically and (so far) electrically. Electrically, I'm sure in the future there will be a number of vendors that offer replacement ecm's and bcm's for the Corvette. The problem is the "now". There are "open source" (https://hackaday.com/2013/10/29/can-hacking-protocols/) ecm's and programs that could work and its not that hard (IMHO) to make a bcm that could work in you your application. The problem is that the process is lengthy and time consuming even if you have the expertise, not to mention legal in emission states. I think that after 15 years Automotive manufacture's should release the electrical protocols for the ecm and bcm for enthusiast cars.

On this note, I maintain/fiddle with my boss's 2013 Factory Five GTM with an LS7 hooked up to their custom BCM that has been working perfectly with pop-out doors, window control (with indexing) from dongle + 3x interior switches, RFID automatic gate entry, AC, and full locks/alarm/anti-theft with 3 dongles. This system is already massively outdated compared to what is on the market nowadays. There's no concern over parts/aftermarket reproduction for what we need for these cars (C6) in my opinion, we're already way past what factory had from a performance/diagnostics/electronics standpoint.

Where are these politicians? not in the USA.

We have some awful ones but they aren't communists. The worst guy has no ideology at all.

So "opponents cry communism".

Ok, I am your opponent, so you're a communist. That was easy.

You win, comrade.

Don't worry... the robots will know how to fix everything.

The cars are going to be electric soon

You can ask my son, I should be dead by then

I am not worried as long as I keep meeting people that are smarter and more auto educated than me... but if this changes in the future -- we are in big trouble,

I'll bet Tesla will make a drop in replacement power cell.

We're good to go.
