    I Caved, Bought Electric...

    Once we get a bit of snow I'll be very interested to hear your review. I currently have a 20 year old 28 inch Craftsman and it works OK although the steering set up is very poorly designed and no longer works. My double wide drive is 80 feet long but the snow never gets very deep and the windrow...

    C8 3LT Dash Bubbling and Separating

    This is a well known issue for the C8 3LT trim level. From what I have read it is normally covered by the GM warranty. If your dealer does not handle a lot of Corvettes they may not recognize the issue. Take it to a dealer who sells more than 50 Corvettes a year.

    Question Recommended Corvette shop in Collingwood area

    You might want to post the question on the "Corvettes of Ontario" Facebook page. Lots of helpful folks there too.

    TPMS issues

    I do notice that the temperatures fluctuate more than I would have expected. They also increase in heat very unevenly but they are consistent with my driving style at the time. Get on the twisties at a good pace and they heat up fairly quickly. On a cool day in late fall in city driving they...

    Help with memory seat

    My 2019 GS had a similar issue and it turned out to be a sensor in the power seat circuit. It took three trips to the dealer to finally diagnose the problem. I think there may have eventually been a service bulletin on it.

    Not a Jack Raccoon approved mod but Kinda cool.

    Too bad they don't ship to Canada as it looks like a nice product. Have to wait till next January when we go south for the winter and can have it delivered to the condo.

    A unique deal on a 2024 HTC with mods and no luxury tax!

    Really nice car, however, the add ons limit the audience. 2026 models are now available for ordering, so it is two model years old. Saw an Eray at Humberview today and it was discounted $15k off MSRP right on the floor. Good luck on this one as it is a very nicely equipped car.

    HTC - To lube or not to Lube ??

    I too hear the HTC make little "squeaking" noises sometimes but never gave it much thought. However, sometimes when I'm detailing the car I'll rub some VRP (Vinyl, Rubber, Plastic) distributed by Chemical Guys. You can get it at Detail Garage or perhaps Canadian Tire as I see they are delling...

    Did GM stop the Speed Model?

    If they tell you that you are on the list then you are on the list. Took me 2 years so be patient.

    I was wondering whether anybody felt disappointed with run-flat tires and the harsher ride they have I believe I have them but I didn't notice it bad

    Aside from a bit better ride and quieter the biggest advantage is being able to drive the car in the shoulder seasons when the temperatures start getting down around freezing. Michelin is ver clear the Pilot Sports should never be driven below around 5C. From personal experience I can tell you...

    I was wondering whether anybody felt disappointed with run-flat tires and the harsher ride they have I believe I have them but I didn't notice it bad

    I did notice a significant difference in ride quality on my C4 but not so much on my C7 with the Pilot Sport 4S tires and magnetic ride. With the Pilot Sport AS4 tires (all season) the ride with run flats was very good and they were better in the rain than the 4S and the AS tires are quieter and...

    Did GM stop the Speed Model?

    Last time I went was 2 or 3 years ago and we went with another couple from Corvette Club of Ontario. We flew into Vegas and spent two nights there first. Rented an SUV and drove down to the Hoover Dam and did a fascinating tour. Second day we drove to Spring Mountain in the afternoon and got...
