Sunset Vette

The fun starts here. Enjoy.

With a diesel truck there’s not much of a choice as far as which fuel to get. A Corvette engine, on the other hand, is tuned for 93 octane gasoline but there are other options available. I’m still putting 93 in mine, but from what I understand the computers in the C5 engine will change [...]

I work in the IT industry, and one of the columns that I used to read was the “Robert X. Cringley” column in the back of Infoworld. One of the “Roberts” that used to write that column now has a blog, and he often posts interesting information.
Like the column I read today:
It’s the Platform, Stupid: [...]

Last week I was in Berlin, Germany for a conference. I had some extra time that I used to wander around downtown or visit various areas that I could get to by train. As I was walking through one downtown area I happened to see a black C6 Corvette driving by.

I read an article recently on AOL’s service that contained car cleaning tips from the owner of McGuires cleaning products. It was a decent article.

He’s in, no he’s out, no he’s in again. I’m talking about Ryan Perrilloux, part-time starting QB for the LSU Tigers football team last year. According to this article he is off of suspension but not yet practicing with the team. This is the third suspension for Ryan. The first was because he [...]

… what folks will be interested in on eBay. Some years back I purchased a kit of PIAA 1100X driving lights for installation on my car. It was the “thing to do” back then, as the PIAA lights were much stronger than the standard fog lights. I ordered the kit, looked at all [...]

I enjoy taking people to lunch in my car. When they get in I ask if they want a ride to lunch, or if they want “A Ride ” to lunch. I don’t want to scare someone. Unless they ask for it.
One of the best parts of the “ride” [...]
