Here’s a video clip showing the build process for the LS9 Corvette engine. It seems that for an extra $5,800 you can go to Detroit and build your own engine! How cool would that be?

Just rolled over that milestone (heh, pun) this past weekend. I got my car in the fall of 2000 so it’s over ten years old. I’ve replaced both headlight actuator motors but other than that have not had any major mechanical issues.
And it’s still a blast to drive.

A few weeks ago I posted about getting a ticket for an expired inspection sticker. I had my court date this week.

That’s the sound I heard the other day when pulling out of the driveway to head to work. Not long after I heard something fall on the floor of my car by my feet, over by the clutch. My first thought was that the clutch spring had broken, so I pumped the clutch a few [...]

I tell people that I only paid about $10K for my Corvette, and as you can imagine that gets some interesting looks. The follow-up question is generally along the lines of, “How can I do that too?”
