    Bloomington Gold - Bloomington IL 6/11/22

    It was great seeing our old friends at Bloomington Gold. Like Chad & Rogene, we sold our XLR and now have a C7 Z06. The car choice no longer matters with the friendships we have built over the years. It will be hard to top the trip you planned for the 15th, Chad! If I can get retired in the...

    any tricks for cleaning suede seat inserts?

    It is technically not suede, but alcantara. Sonax makes an alcantara and upholstery cleaner. I’ve used it on my CTS-V coupe, which has the alcantara seat inserts, steering wheel and shift knob. It works very well.

    "Engine Hot AC OFF" on DIC. Temp gauge sweeps then stays at pointing to far left.

    Bill, There may be some posts on here, but if I remember correctly, the thermostat being replaced will most likely correct this. I never had this problem when I had my V, but I remember others having this and they replaced the thermostat and that fixed the problem. Good luck.

    Resetting TPMs - single chirp at start, expecting double chirp

    What tpms tool are you using. Once you get the chirp, you start at the left front tire to set that tpms. You will get a chirp from the horn when it recognizes it, then move to the right front tire. After you get the chirp for that one move to the right rear and then to the left rear. After it...

    Detailing

    Currently trying their products out on my Z06. Mirror Shine is a great product and easy to apply. Haven’t tried the the ceramic coating yet. Will try it on the wife’s XT5 first, as it’s the same color as the Z06.

    Help! ‘08 trunk closing on its own

    LTS, You are incorrect. If your battery is good and you place the key in the rear slot and turn it and hold for a second, the trunk will open. Also when you are programming fobs, you have to turn the key five times quickly to get into program mode and on the fifth turn the trunk will open...

    Hagerty Article

    Thanks pure! Hope all is well in your world. Stay safe! Hey Sandy. Hope all is well with you and Steve. I’ve always had second thoughts of trading the V, but with what I got for it and the price I got on the Z06, I’d have been a fool to pass it up. Now with the C8 out and offering a hardtop...

    XLR vs The EVOQ

    Ian, It is not fair to judge the XLR against the EVOQ. The EVOQ was a concept vehicle, it was not a production vehicle. Am am also quite sure had they produced it the way the concept was, the cost would be way higher than the XLR. Many things on the XLR were used in the six generation...

    Help! How do I remove the battery?

    Tim, If you look at all his posts, he has not made one contribution to the forum at all....just insignificant posts. Best to just put him on your ignore list, then you don’t see anything he posts! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Beth!
