My wife and I got the Pfizer shot this past Tuesday. Felt really tried, arm hurt and felt cold for about 16 hours, then back to normal. So happy to get it. System here at a mass vac site was well organized and run very well.

I am very surprised to hear that about Wilson Niblett . I have bought many cars and trucks from them over the last 40 years including two corvette. I have always had excellent service and especially sales. I still go there for service on my corvette from here in Belleville. Possible there is...

Hi There and welcome to the forum, I have had two C5's a 2004 Z06 and my current driver, a 1999 C5 6 speed coup with 78K on it. These are great cars and a really good bang for the buck. I agree with all the comments on electronics but will say that I was able to get my steering lock replaced...

Hi There, If you look on the forum (under C5 forum )for my post (my1999 coupe) back in June 12 2017 I described how I permanently fixed this problem. Not sure how to re post this or I would do it for you. Hope it hleps . Charlie

First car was a 1968 Cougar with a 3 speed standard on the floor. it came with a 302. What I remember most about this car was that the engine fit was so tight that to change the # 3 spark plug you either had to lift the engine or cut a hole through the fender well , which is what I did. My...

Great review I have a 1999 magnetic red coupe and just love it. These are great weekend cruisers which is why i got it and like you it just had to have a 6 speed. Mine does not have the HUD which i do miss as i had that on my 2004 Z06. enjoy the ride .

Welcome, Just down the road from you in Belleville. Possible we can meet up some time for a coffee. Had my Vette out yesterday on the dry very cold roads (mius 24 here ). I prefer exercising all the moving parts during the winter as opposed to keeping it stored.m I just hve to pick my days...

Hi Black 03 Z06, Thanks for the comments. At this point I think I will just live with the existing setup and use good old paper maps like the old days. Charlie

Hi Everyone, In follow up to my post above I received my Metra Nav. conversion kit yesterday. The quality of the reproduction was excellent and the colour was also a good match. What didn't work for me was that it did have the textured finish that matched the rest of the dash so for me it wasn't...

Hi C5 Owners, The Metra DP-3021B Double D conversion kit for C5's is now available on line from e bay and other sites . I just ordered mine from E-Bay @ $304.00 US $ including shipping and custom duty of $50.00. I will let everyone know what I think of quality when I get it . I'm sure it will be...

Good News I have fixed it myself. After a lot of research I was able to fix this "Service Column Lock" message code. As I stated earlier I knew the recall had been done in the past by a previous owner and this message only appeared after I boosted the car. The first thing I did was to clear...

Black 03 Z06, Thanks for the reply . I see I left the C off Charlie in my name. Any way no it wasn't on a tender and I had been driving the car for quite a while . I had left a inside light on and killed the battery. Charging system and voltage is fine just keep getting this message. Thanks...

Hi everyone , Has anyone run into this issue.on there C5. I had to boost my car and after I did this I started getting a message on my display when I start and turn off the car that says " Service steering column " . I know there was a recall to correct the steering column lock issue but I was...

Hi Everyone, Just came from my installer and I saw a picture of the C5 bezel that will be coming to Canada . Looks good . The supplier wouldn't give me her supplier but said it was in Toronto. She said it would be a supplier like the trim pieces she pointed to on the wall. I wrote down thew...
