POS VETT

There are actually more than one locations to spectate the cruising. These are just impromptu sites. The one on Busch Blvd is basically the corner of 161 & Busch. There will be a bunch of show cars driving through the intersection. This spot is popular because the green spaces to spectate from and the Continent parking lots. Another location is E. Campus View Blvd since there are several hotels there that the show attendees stay (the same reason for the Busch-161 intersection). However, the construction of 23-I270 interchange may put a damper. Other spots would be 17th Ave and I-71 and 11th Ave and 71 but those are not famous. I'm sure there are more sites spread throughout including in Dublin. Basically where there are a lot of attendees stay, the area becomes a rolling car show.

I'm probably going. What time is Danny going to "perform" tomorrow?

LOL

What an irony. Very few would do what you had done, Joe. I know that my emotions would've taken over.

A very well-maintained vehicle you've bought there, Randy. A very good deal indeed.

Welcome, David!

I subscribe to the same adage, "black is not a color, it's a part-time job". That said, my first and second Corvettes are black. Black will also break your heart when most of the imperfections stand out in the bright sun. While dust and particles in the air will deposit on any color paint just the same, black shows them. If you're planning for touchless washes, I suggest reconsidering; water spotting is nearly white and shown prominently on a black finish. High-end silica-based and polymer-based coatings will minimize the appearance of dirt, dust, grime, and other contaminants by providing a highly reflective layer so effective that the color itself is masked. I'll say this, you might want to turn a blind eye on perfection. It's a daily driver and it'll be exposed to many "attacks" including people putting things on your car. If the car was something you've been looking for a long time and the deal is a good one, don't let paint color deter the purchase. Keep it clean as much as you can, avoid anything that introduce even more scratches and water spots, and, if you could afford it, have paint protection film installed.

I said major, not riffraff or non-judged gathering

Two? Try three major shows. GoodGuys, Arthritis Foundation, and The Gathering (Lancaster).

Just use wet play sand and rub it all around. Don't get it in your eye, it hurts ...

A beater is more like a daily driver in at least decent condition. A junker is a different story ...

Being so close to major shows, they are likely booked solid. I can give you info of one but won't be in time for the next weekend.

No.

Welcome, John! I didn't get to meet you at CC&C, butn I'm glad you decided to join CR. Pictures are not shown; please copy & paste the url from "Direct Link" field in Photobucket, such as the link below.

Why is the 262k mileage figure an estimate?

Grab a caliper and measure the hole in the center on the backside.

I can't help but entertaining the idea of running them on my CTS-V. Any idea of the dimension for the center bore?

Wheel is too small; the fender gap and the dark color makes it even smaller. It needs to be wider too. Sorry, it's just a wrong combination. What were the OEM specs (diameter, width, offset) compared to the TSW? The wheels look kinda sunken too. Only half an inch shorter? Was there a consideration for a performance aspect or do you actually like accumulating more miles in the odometer than actual and the "high water* looks? It's a tall & elegant two-door car; find a wheel style to match its elegance and slab sides with a mild drop; get rid of those tires ASAP. Or, alternatively, drop it to the weeds, flare them with flush, million-mile deep dish, and mirror finish.

6x114.3 FTMFL. I axed the ones on my CTS-V. Go find Viper wheels ...

Nick, it's never a guarantee.

So, what's the return policy for a '14 BRZ with under 1k miles and half an autox?

My hate toward stability control has now been amplified about 77x.

I'm still debating, but I'm going to swap in a pair of slicks around 8. I'm entertaining the idea of bringing my EZ UP canopy but it doesn't fit in the Corvette.

Bah

If they were 5x120, I'd be interested.
