ZR1 replicas powdercoated Illusion Cherry 19” all around with Michelin AS/3+ tires. I love the drag look with the safety of all season tires in winter/ wet weather.

Default Paid

I paid for the 19 GS M7 Elk Hart Lake Blue Coupe that I've been waiting 2 years for. I haven't laid eyes on it yet, as it was built 3/1/2019 and I'll pick it up at the museum on 3/29/2019. The next 25 days are going to be a whole new level of tough!

Default changed battery

my C7 is a 2014 with the original battery with only 9000 miles. So I was getting worried about it just quiting on me .... went to dealer and bought a new 42 month Delco, down loaded instructions from this site, assembled the tools... I mean how hard a job could this be? Getting it ready to take out was a piece of cake.... lifting it out was not! Even though I used a battery strap I failed to take into account that at 75 I am not as strong as I used to be. Getting it back in was just as bad. I would NOT do this again. lol, cj

You can easily fix that with a $26 cam from
Wyzecam Wyzecam

When I'm in my house, I say... "Alexa, show me my Z06".

PROTIP- If you buy the cam, and, then you ALSO want to save video on the cam, buy a microSD card that is labeled “high endurance”.

I purchased this from RPI Designs. I had them dip this in Hydro Carbon Fiber (since my entire engine bay is done this way).....

I REALLY like everything about your Vette. The color of the stripes are perfect against your body color and you wheels are killer. Nicely done

Activated free SiriusXM 3 month trial.
Drove down my driveway and up on the road and back.
Wind was blowing, snow was drifting.
SiriusXM trial will expire about the time I can really start putting some miles on.

Did you just buy your corvette? I bought mine in December 2018 and asked them since my car is stored away for the winter they said they would activate my XM back on when I bring it out in April. I have it in my truck also.

Yes, bought it Feb. 18th. I will have to check if they will delay the trial. I also have it in my Jeep and a lifetime subscription in my 300C.
