  1. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    The only thing I use, unless downshifting at low speed (20-25 and under), is the engine noise. At lower speeds, there is almost no engine noise, only exhaust noise. When I drive a stick, I can often shift without using the clutch. Of course, I have to be very familiar with the car to be able to...

    I just took another look at the photos, when you filled up, on a large monitor and the stripes are poppin'. Glenn

    I don't doubt any of that and I assumed that would be the case. I just haven't had the opportunity to drive a mid-engine, yet! Glenn
  4. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    Ditto what you said. I think it is a fantastic car for cruising. I drove it approximately 500 miles to Canada and back. It was so much fun and comfortable on the highway. I never tired, and that's unusual for a 78-year-old. When I got to my destination, I was not fatigued at all and felt I could...
  5. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    Exactly! My point a few minutes ago! The 10R80 is not your grandmother's automatic! I drive it like a stick every time I'm driving! It's a blast! Glenn
  6. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    Been doing that for as long as they've had paddles in cars. I can't remember which was my first one; it was so long ago. Probably 15 years, maybe more, not sure! It's been a while. OK! I'll stop! Glenn

    OK! Makes sense. I didn't know that! Enjoy! I was a 38 year IT geek. Glenn
  8. 10 Speed Automatic feedback?

    Jrws1014 said: when I need to downshift to say pass a car, I can anticipate the need, determine the timing of my shift and do so in a way that ensures I have the power of the lower gear precisely when I want/need it. As opposed to an automatic that has to get a signal that the accelerator is...
  9. Custom License Plate Idea

    That's a good one! I think if you look at it in the sun it might hypnotize you! Glenn

    Sorry! I can't vote for any! I can't figure out what any of them mean! Sorry I'm a dunce! Glenn
  11. Battery Tender

    I've used chargers for nearly 20 years. My last one worked one day and the next day I went to check the batteries and I could smell wires burning. It was so hot I had to use a grappling hook to pick it up and throw it onto my driveway. You can't plug these things in and forget them. I used mine...

    If someone gives me a C8, I'm keeping it, but it isn't my favorite. To be honest, my all-time favorite is the split window. I haven't driven a mid-engined car before, but I don't think I would hate it. When I was in the military, I had a sergeant who came back from Nam, and his older brother...
  13. The Kids Aren't Alright [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Well, that is an apt description of the last 40-50 years. And unfortunately, I can't disagree with what you say. Today's education system is a sad state of affairs. I am one that chose an alternate route for my future. I tried the college route until the second semester of my junior year...

    Did you ever notice from the rear the Corvette looks like the green giant stepped on it? From the front and sides it looks great Glenn
  15. S650 Annoying noises and rattles

    Is it your mother-in-law, per chance? Glenn
  16. At the risk of..........

    Exactly! I bitch about the gas mileage but I don't really care. I just can't figure out why I don't get mileage like others. A few miles per gallon doesn't matter but mine is 10-12 under others. I'll just have to smile my way through it! Glenn
  17. At the risk of..........

    Good averages! Mine has dropped constantly since my drive to Canada. It is now down to 15.9. Glenn

    That is a great color combination. The stripes look terrific! Glenn

    It looks great! They did a nice job! Glenn
