    1LT Blindspots ???

    If you have other vehicles with blindspot monitoring you might miss it at first. Make sure mirrors are positioned properly and be vigilant when on multi-lane high speed heavily travelled roads that attract aggressive drivers - as in the GTA. If I were ordering a C8 again I wouldn't change a...

    My Lloyd Mats Arrived

    As we have a gravel driveway I ordered floor liners available through Chev dealers for $230 (less discount for buying a new C8) and they arrived at 8:00 AM the next business day. You remove the original mats and the liners snap into place. I wish I'd had these in my C7!

    What is the better choice 1LT or 2LT

    1LT with Z51 and MRC works for me! I can't imagine buying a C8 without the performance upgrades. If my C8 was a daily driver I might feel otherwise. There is no wrong or right here - the decision depends on your budget and what is important to you.

    Current C8 backorders

    As of last Tuesday my TPW is October 26. How long can I expect it to take to ship it my dealer in Toronto?

    Drivers side mirror “upgrade”?

    When touring the BG plant a few years ago I noticed that export models of the C7 have larger mirrors. GM said they will fit but the lights won't work. I was quoted $600 for two. My dealer in Toronto said he couldn't order them. The C7 is gone and I'm waiting for an update on my C8 - originally...

    Dealer Corvette Mechanic

    Last three times I've been to Budd's in Oakville. Keith is their Corvette guy and Shane their Service Manager. Very professional, helpful attitude. Last week they had four new C7s in their showroom. The current issue of Car and Driver has a long term test on their 2014 C7 that is worth...

    Oil change and getting ready fo bed

    I bought an oil filler cap with Mobil 1 on it (nearly $40 including tax) because the dealer said if I didn't chances are something else would go in otherwise. Another dealer told me recently they have now switched to Pennzoil and Mobil 1 would have to be special ordered if I wanted it. When in...

    Back from Spring Mountain and Ron Fellows School

    FYI there was a couple in my group of twenty who were both taking the course. Spouses were welcome to sit in on the classroom sessions and go out with the instructors to do laps. They were very fair at giving guests every opportunity to do laps and am sure you know there is a spa, pool and hot...

    Oil change and getting ready fo bed

    How did the OnStar upgrade go? Where does the new module go? No one (not even a dealer) has been able to tell me yet. I'm hoping they don't have to take apart the interior console. And I was told Friday by one dealer that they recommend and use Pennzoil now and if I wanted Mobil 1 for my C7 it...

    Back from Spring Mountain and Ron Fellows School

    Thanks for the question! I did get the discount. Even though I took delivery in May 2014 I couldn't take the School before now and GM were good enough to give me an extension beyond one year. Knowing what I know now about the School I'd take the course at full price even if I didn't own a C7.

    Back from Spring Mountain and Ron Fellows School

    I was at Spring Mountain October 14 and 15. What an amazing experience the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School is, not only for new C7 Corvette owners (I'm 72 years old with two knee replacements), but surely for anyone with a desire to learn all about high performance driving. The whole...

    Oil change and getting ready fo bed

    Had an incredible time at Spring Mountain last week! Did not want it to come to an end.....might have to do it again! For anyone unsure if it's for them I'm 72 with two knee replacements! Your safety is their primary concern. What a great group of dedicated professionals totally focused on you...
