You know you have a problem when you have to capitalize the word phallically!

OK, let's just attack this head-on (no pun intended). I don't really care if the tail lights look Camaroish or not. They will exist in their own space as a part of the whole and/or they will always be part of the dislike people will forever have for the C7. Hell, to this day I don't like the C5 because the front looks too much like a Pontiac to me! Guilty as charged!

 

I have no faith in this season ever happening, but I am a caps fan so at least it saves me another playoff disappointment.

 

With analysis showing that potentially 50% of the cars have a problem, I have a problem. I'm faced with either opening up my new 2013 LS7 to see if there's a problem (which I shouldn't have to tamper with a new engine) or not driving it, because it may be a ticking bomb, until GM breaks silence and speaks up about a resolution to the issue.

So now I don't drive the new car sitting in the driveway, waiting for GM to officially address the issue. And this is an $80K+ enthusiast car, sold on the basis of a special relationship with the manufacturer - sold has the pinnacle of performance - sold as being hand-built - sold as being an American icon - 'the last of the 427s', hell they even had a program where buyers could go to BG and help in the assembly of these engines. I even picked mine up at the NCM. I bought their BS special sauce hook, line & sinker. And now GM sits silent with my money.

I owned a Viper prior, and Dodge was very responsive, even having factory engineers address questions on forums from the faithful owners. That's my problem with GM - and any Corvette they build now - until they address current owners.

I don't give a rat's zzz about the 'body lines' of the new C7 - it's what's inside and what's behind the sale that matters.

The issues surrounding the LS7 have been known for years, long before your 2013 was even a thought. If you knew about the issues and bought the car anyhow, that's your fault. If you didn't do research and have only known about the problem since you owned the car, that's also your fault. There are thousands of Z06 owners who have never had the first problem with their engine and are extremely happy with their purchase. You can either enjoy the car, or sell it. Complaining on an internet forum, and in the wrong section at that, isn't going to make your "problem" go away.

 

I have always been of the opinion that every sports car is a ticking time bomb. It is just a matter of time and driving. Letting it sit and whining about what MIGHT happen seems like a pretty useless waste of time and resources.

I wonder, if the Viper was so great and Dodge was so very responsive, why did you ever buy a Corvette? There is always another Viper out there. Best of luck in your decision-making going forward.

 

 

Here is my 2 cents on the C7 . I remember years back reading about the new Ferrari Maranello. At the time I was not excited because saw the design as pretty boring. THEN, I saw the car driving down the road ! It looked so low and sleek I was shocked.

My point - I am looking at this C7 rendering floating at eye level on my ipad and then I go out a see a C6 going down the road looking low and sleek and as beautiful as ever. There is no way in hell to get a proper perspective on the C7 yet.

Maybe someone can place the latest C7 on a street scene with a C6 ???

 

"Recognizing the signs you're being played:
First, don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us. Knowing when you are dealing with a player is very important. To save yourself from emotional turmoil, it is best to keep your eyes open for any little signs. Times are too serious for you to be unaware if you are being played.

Ending the game:
A player will be on the defensive at all times. They usually get offended if asked a simple question. Most of the time they even try to switch the blame to you and/or try to impress on you how important they are. A player can only keep up with his game for so long and he will eventually start slacking up, allowing you to pick up a few important clues. If you allow it, this will be a never ending game of deceit. It is your job to use this opportunity to find the clues, and bring an end to this player's game."

 

Agreed!

 

This thread is highly entertaining

However, will someone PLEASE post a pic of Nikki Minaj's butt?

 

 

Unless some miracle happens in the next 2 weeks the season is over.

The players need to suck it up and realize the cards are in the owners hands. As is most of the financial risk. Players are well taken care of. The pandering the players have had all their lives is a direct result of this strike.

 

Any original thoughts Francis?

 

I'm with the pilot fella.

 

Sir you are awesome.


I'm framing a Dougie Gilmour and a Chris Draper jersey as we speak.

 

No problem. Hope it starts again soon

 

I have been trying but been having trouble formatting the picture to fit inside the screen boundaries.

 

Your efforts are most appreciated Mr. Keeks

I am at 37,000 feet on a flight from SFO to ATL and the internet is painfully slow. I can't even bring up pics of Ms. Minaj let alone her buttocks.

 

Jokes about "stance" will be entertained behind door #1.
