Replying to: bhill2 (Jan 14, 2009 1:49 pm) Gotta love dealers. Or at least service writers that don't have a clue. The problem is caused by the lock plate, the servo motor and the software, all interacting. The after market bypass module ignores the plate, tricks the servo and software to think all is well no matter what is happening as long as the plate is removed. Too bad it makes car easier to drive off for someone else, I try to keep it garaged. Guess I've spent enough with this dealer that they decided to cover part of the cost for goodwill. I too will continue to enjoy the ride. Randy |

Don't want to change the subject here, but just a question. All the forums on this site are about newer Corvettes, which is fine if you have one, but are there any forums for older cars, like the C4 in particular?

Replying to: v1995tte (Jan 30, 2009 12:56 pm) used a couple times I had the car detailed by a local guy and it looks great, even after hard miles on track and lots of dings up front and under the doors. The dry spray can be used on a car that has been 'dusted' is really quick and comes up looking just washed after a couple minutes. I get mine from a local guy who distributes and I meet him every year or so to stock up. randy |

I just bought a used vette once owned by a smoker and it smells approximaetely like a mens' room. I guess the smoke is in the headliner, the carpets, everywhere. Anyone have any special suggestions on getting rid of this, or is it just a matter of cleaning everything in sight. Hate to mess up the headliner although it might have to be replaced anyway.
