    Please GM, Fix the Corvette

    Corvette has become a bit of a hillbilly car. I had 4 C5s and one C6. Time to grow up and look for something with some class...let the Dukes of Hazard retire. No mater what GM does to the Corvette, it will allways be a Chevy that most dealers can't work on. And that is bad, because they need...

    nav problem

    I did not take any pix, but I did notice a big bunch of "Wind Farms" From southern California back into Texas. While the wind mills help with the energy issues I can see why many people complain about the damaged landscape. I guess they are no worse than the oil wells.

    I am located in San Antonio (SA), both dealers in SA should go out of business... I have given up on GM and am looking for a good tuner. I used 21st Century Muscle car when I was closer to Dallas. I may drive back there, 300 miles but I know they won't attempt something they can't do.
