Well,

I had an appointment and dropped my car off this afternoon at Vette Doctors. Packed house, lots of nice looking cars. Everyone working there looked so serious. Do do these guys smile?

Anyone else have there car there?

I have a wierd noise coming from my drivers side rear axle. I think it might be a u-joint in the half shaft. Need the pro's on this one.

Hi Ed. I'm just giving it a wake up call. Air box, headers, 3:42 rear, Low Stall TC and sway bars, and a VDP tune of course. Ya think I've been bit by the bug?

Maybe I'll stop by on Friday too. I'm only working in the morning.

Danny,

Yes, I did see your vette. Recognized it from the pics on the site.
I hear these guys know there sh%t. Just like everyone else, I feel a little uneasy while my car is not in my garage.

I must be sick in the head

The car is in good hands. You missed mine by a few weeks. I was in for some pre-nationals maintenance. They do smile, you have to watch for it though.

Hey Mike,
I had a 93 with the same stuff, K&N with the open air cover, and a hypertech chip with a 160 stat. I had a strange noise coming from behind the drivers seat too, when I was backing up when the car was first started up. I thought it was a bearing or u-joint, and had them replaced. Take the cover off the compartment behind the drivers seat, and listen for that sound. The traction control, or braking system control unit is located there, and sometimes it makes odd noises when you back up before it is warmed up completely.That may be the issue, and it is not a problem unless the systems aren't working right. I made the mistake of replacing the U-joints, for no reason, and it still made the same noises.
