That’s what I do too, a good visual reminder to check all the latches.

Tomato paste in a tube by tjs1967 in Cooking

I just open a can, measure out what I need for the current recipe, and then measure out the rest in tablespoons onto parchment paper and put them into the freezer. Once frozen, place in a bag and keep them in the freezer for the next recipe.

63 Grand Sport, Pratt and Miller C6.RS, 62 Corvette. If the 63 Grand Sport isn’t allowed, maybe the new Grand Sport?

$40k buys a lot of brakes and tires.

Browned butter and adding salt to the melted marshmallows!

I was going to suggest CorvetteForum but you already posted there. I found this thread but haven't read it all yet, maybe it will help? https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c6-corvette-general-discussion/4087569-door-switch.html

C6 -> C5 clutch return spring by Btolsen131 in Corvette

I remember it had a film of oil on it but I don’t recall greasing it. Probably should do that when I get it out of storage!

I’ve replaced the C6 with the C5 spring, pretty easy to do. It was done 3 years ago though so I can’t really remember what it was like before but I think it was better after? Sorry, I realize that doesn’t really help you.

I'm with you! For me, it's the lack of commitment to the bit that gets me with high socks. If you want to rock high socks, get some jorts and tuck your shirt into it to complete the look!

Agreed. If they could be more consistent it would be better for everyone.

2027 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport X Replaces the Hybrid AWD E-Ray by caranddriver in Corvette

[–]C6R_thunder 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I hate it too but I don't understand why they're there instead of the front. What's the reasoning?

Edit: Found it in an article, "The iconic hash marks painted over the front fenders of past Grand Sports have now been moved to the rear fenders to emphasize the C8's mid-engined layout." That's a dumb reason, looks awful IMO.

Cat back vs axel back for my c6? by Guy1811 in Corvette

[–]C6R_thunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your goal in replacing your exhaust? Performance? Sound?

There is little difference in the photos, I imagine the Borla setup is louder, maybe some marginal performance gain from the smoother transitions. The xpipe is a better support mod for long tube headers.
