I bought the car from a guy who turns out to be the son of Bill Gate's first secretary. She was Microsoft went to work for Gates when "he" was only 19 years old, she retired as his office manager. I know it doesn't increase it's value but it does make for an interesting conversation.

Yes our cars are amazingly easy to steal, with a clothes hanger and a screw driver you can indeed drive the car away in 60 seconds if you know what you're doing and don't care about damaging the steering column. These will make it much harder to open the door without making some noise...

Thanks Pat, that's who I'll be getting an estimate from on Tuesday.

My car came with a bunch of paper work on prior repairs, etc. The guy who had the car before me paid $580.00 in labor (8 years ago) to have the heater core and blower motor replaced, but my car doesn't have air conditioner.

Looks like a different car, looks much more aggressive, nice! Jim

Chuck, the other end is also in bad shape, guess that explains the slight drivetrain vibrations I would randomly get but could never pin down. Yes, there's a local shop that advertises they repair drive shafts and balances them. I did some checking and CJpony has new balanced ones with front...

It never ends. Not sure whether to replace the drive shaft or try and have this one repaired.

Be weary because I cut up my hood to add the hood locks when I added Ram Air. There's actually a center marking where to drill/cut the 3" holes from the underside, so it's not as daunting as it sounds.

Ok, shifting issue resolved, shifts at higher RPM's now and downshifts sooner. I replaced the vacuum tree on the engine,( it appeared a little corroded inside) replaced the vacuum hose which was showing it's age and two turns on the adjusting screw of the modulator. Not sure which one of them...

John, I haven't checked anything, I'll have in on a lift this weekend to try and determine where my rear end leak is coming from so thought I'd try and tackle this while on the lift. It's been an issue since I've owned the car, not a sudden one, it shifts great just shifts to early. Hoping...

My C6 shifts through the gears really early (under normal acceleration) putting me in high gear at very low RPMs and low speeds. It also stays in a high gear rather than down shifting at slow speeds, downshifting requires a harder than normal acceleration. So any recommendations on what I can...

Welcome from Olympia WA. Jim

Those are cool cars, like others, if only I had the space! In high school I had a 1969 Dodge Polara which was a retired California Highway Patrol pursuit car, it had the 375hp 440 under the hood and would scream, there was nothing like the sound of that 440 when the petal was to the metal...

Bingo! Plus if they've been linked to 2 housebreaking/larcenies and 2 auto thefts, statistics indicate there are another 20 housebreaking/larcenies and 20 auto thefts they got away with. If their parents or adult guardians don't step forward they're destined for a violent future with many more...

That's very cool, looking forward to hearing your recordings. Weren't they at one time a part of a band called ISIS Child? I like it! It has the same beat and rhythm of another song I know, I just can't place it. it'll bug me until it comes to me.

Good one! Thanks for sharing. Jim

Sorry to hear about that Jeff, glad no one was hurt, could have gotten nasty if someone was home when they kicked in the door. Hopefully they were just travelling through and don't live in the area, if they do live in the area and saw something they didn't get a chance to take, they may be...

That's the Hochdeutsche translation, I was thinking Claus being in Schwabenland might have ein bisschen different twist on it, but I now get it, thanks!

Welcome to the site Claus from Washington State. Can you repeat the above in it's original German format, the translation is missing something and now I'm really curious, thanks. Jim

Jim and Jutta: Jim Jutta is my other half but she's never visited the site, probably should have picked another sign on to avoid confusion.
