Need Vette Mechanic guru++
So I haven't seen or heard from my Corvette since October 2007...two weeks after first buying it. I actually only drove this car for 3 days. One of the days some of you guys witnessed. I drove it once since then and that's when it broke down.
It's been to two VERY good mechanics that I've been friends with for some time.
They gave up...
My original thinking was fk it I'll swap it with the 383 if I can't fix it but the problem is that likely won't fix the original problem
I need a guru with lots of years experience under their belt working on Corvettes...preferably one who is VERY acknowledgable with electronics.
Can someone point me in the right direction?...If you do (and it gets fixed per your reference) I'll purchase you a case if beer.
Thanks.

Dont know what I've gotten myself into!!!!You can drop it off, along with a big bag o' money anytime!! LOL J/K
Let me know when you wanna bring it down. I imagine you know you're going to need to leave it for a bit. No 'while you wait' on this one.
BTW, I do charge for pulling my hair out. You see, 41 and loosing it quick. I gotta bill for it!!!

I am just jealous that his is getting worked on and I am waiting for funds to get mine done. But mine will be sitting in your shop soon enough.
