But then, does the lack of an atmosphere make the sun's rays MORE direct and damaging?

Are there any rocket scientists in the house that might know?

Here's what the paid rocket scientists have to say about the flags....

It was obviously a joke......

Maybe a poor one like my father-in-law tells, but a joke nonetheless.

And mine's still a Centennial GS vert that I added an NPP, Vitesse, and pcm/tcm tweaks to. I'm doing a brake fluid flush on it today.

Why do 20 members quote a post with 20 pictures in it and none of them show the LED's?

I never understood why people DON'T mention what kind of Vette they drive when reading the responses, so I can relate their response to my own car. The thing that REALLY bugs me is when someone starts a thread asking about a problem with their car, WITHOUT mentioning the year,model.

It depends on what kind of brake pads you use. And you never said if it has the Z51 option.

The better question is why you feel the need to start a stupid idiotic thread like this!!! Are you aware of the words tolerance and ignore??? Or are you only interested in adding to your profile post count? Dumb *** threads like this hang around on the forum forever!

Another dumb *** thread, how many miles do you have on your Vette? NUNYA!

The one that takes the cake in my opinion is the one about black wheels being a fad! What a frickin waste of forum space!

Between dumbass threads like these and venders pushing their wares, there isn't much to read that's of value and/or educational!

The dumb-*** threads don't bother me -- one always has the option of not reading them.

What I am curious about is: What do the mods think of them? I'm assuming if they thought they were sucking up data storage capacity they would make some comment about them at least. But I've never seen any comments so I assume they don't care.

Btw.,....I still have an 08 C6 vert 3LT with the Z51 package in Victory red, Autozone Gold brake pads, painted calipers, Michelin PS3 tires, regular oxygen in the tires instead of pure nitrogen, Mobil 1 oil with a Mobil 1 oil filter, and standard Dexcool in the radiator. I'm heading to the corner store myself. Does anyone need anything?

I just got a new Corvette that's a little different than the norm. It allows me to go just about anywhere I want, anytime I want to.

I normally ignore them too, but they got to me last night while I was in a nontolerant mood, so I had to vent!

It's a special 63 split window convertible, put on the chassis of a short bed Chevy 4X4. It has a powerplant removed from a nuclear sub so it can power a small city if needed. I have noticed, however, that I now glow green in the dark. 😱

Can't you be more explicit? How do you feel when you glow green, do you feel envious or greedy or maybe hulk like? How much does that powerplant weigh? …..

I feel like..."You wouldn't like me when I'm angry".

The powerplant is pretty efficient so it only weighs a couple of tons. It was dang hard to fit it between the frame rails, however. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for me to set the seat up on top of the reactor.
