The old Vette has been worked on, cosmetic details, new ignition, seals here and there, new control arms, new tires; the old ones were inexpensive cooper cobras, they look good but rider rough and do not hold their shape over long lives. Bridgestones are much better.
She is driving and riding beautifully. I am in the market for a big block C3, but so far found only too pricey or too rough.
Went to the Doublepeak north San Diego County viewpoint. 5cm 1.4 RF and 15mm 5.6 ai.
My used C4 had these huge wide Goodyears, and I could feel every crack in the road at slow speeds. Same dealer called a few years later with a used C5, and the upgraded suspension GM did was a vastly superior ride. By that point I had decide it was the dumbest purchase I had ever made - for a host of reasons that had nothing to do with how good a car it was (It was great) - so I sold it. Barb and I used it for our over-due honeymoon, and date car for about 12 years. Most of the miles we put on it was giving the 7 kids rides almost every time we were going to use it for a date.
Jim, this C6 is the dumbest purchase I ever made, still have it as insuring with Hagerty is cheap and the car is long paid for. It is an excellent car and rides well, but I find the C3 way more fun as it rides and sounds as a motorcycle and brings forth a lot of friendly faces. Once and if I find a good C3 big block car it is the C6 that will be sold, its sonly real advantage is freeway and long drives but for that my RAM pickup is far more comfortable.
