DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Lets just say my 10 year old Z06 is a better performer at half the price...

A guy in my Corvette group has a buddy with a GT350 and he has driven it quite a bit on track... Said his Z would spank the GT350 all day long. They were at Hallett 2 weekends ago I believe(where a GT350 driver put one on its roof some how).

 

Sold my C7.

 

Anyone here ever replaced this specific part of the AC System?

I think i have replaced every hose but that one on my 1st gen... most of them have been easy, just make sure and keep everything dry and clean and while you are at it might not hurt to replace the dryer if the 2nd gens have one.

 

Mmmm that is the part that they are saying is leaking on my AC system. Which now that I know that, is pretty damn obvious when I look at it.

Still having to go back and forth with them on replacing it and me not paying an arm and a leg to have it replaced.

 

Looks like you can fix it yourself for cheap other than the parts below you just need Freon and someone to pull a Vacuum on the system

Hose $34

Not a bad price.

Have a couple other things to deal with when it comes to the dealership... still trying to get it covered 100%.

 

Just so everyone knows...

I am strong independent Caucasian male that identifies as an attack helicopter that don't need no woman who identifies as a Surface-to-Air missile telling me what to attack or not to attack or my damn Monday afternoon. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter.

May have just sent that to my GF because she said I need to rest and not have a beer or 5 after this stressful ass Monday.

 

@SuperBad and I were talking about ideas for my custom bedside decals I'm looking at having done for the truck. Ya'll with white/silver/gray/black trucks - for the moment I envy ya'll on your wide open color options for either bold or stealth graphics. But think I've finally come up with a plan: (silver / red combo)

 

But at least your starting with the second prettiest color option

 

There are always trade offs to going with the 'second prettiest color option' - and I accept and live with them. No, I OVERCOME them.

 

I'm going to drink an extra beer just for you.

 

Thanks. I appreciate it.

 

I never pulled my camera out either. I even made sure I had charged batteries.

Decal is looking good!

I still have way more beer than I expected. I even went to a buddys after the meet and kept drinking...

Since joining TW this was the biggest turn out I've seen. It was great meeting some of you for the first time and a few of you who havent been able to make all the meet ups. I always look forward to these.

 

Ditto, no one drank any of my beer but me, made me feel bad after devouring so much of @GuamTaco4x4 's brisket (and the others as well)

 

Looks like it was fun. Ended up getting back into town late, but wanted to make it. Next time.

 

Finished the lift

 

I was shamelessly grabbing beers out of several coolers, as long as everyone went home happy and not feeling like they got taken advantage of, it's a win.

 

Stats?
