Looked at it and sighed as I got into my salt crusted daily driver and headed out into the 20 degree winter...where I ended up in traffic next to somebody in their salt crusted C6

Thanks for starting this thread. I do see the same thing on other forums where the threads balloon to hundreds of pages and thousands of posts!!


My contribution for today: My business trip got approved so I just dropped $1G on Spring Mountain Driving School in mid-March!!

If I am not mistaken, that is the car cover from Costco. I find that my car gets covered all over with tiny little clear fibers from that cover every time I use it. Its really hard to see since the fibers are about 1 cm long and fine like clear hair. Looks kinda like very fine fiberglass fibers. Its hard to see, but if you look closely its there. Do you have the same experience? I switched out two different ones and still the same thing. Got so frustrated I got rid of the cover..

It is in the 70's this week, so I drove it to work this whole week so far...Car has only 450 miles on it. Only 50 more miles to go before I can start driving her like she's meant to be driven..

Drove it with the top down.

The snow just melted, and another storm is expected Saturday, but I take the good days when I can!

I didn't do anything to it, but I did order a ported throttle body from Tony Mamo for my 2017 Grand Sport. From reading what he and others have to say, this sounds the best upgrade for the money available and removes the low-RPM/off-idle stumble most experience on the C7. Can't wait!
