Oh spark plugs and spark wires warranty also.

No regrets, except I should have done it sooner lol. You're right, if you find a great car, it'll treat you well. The wife was not happy when I was writing everything down getting prepared for this video and the next one. BUT the video that's coming out after that calmed her down a bit lol.

Head over to corvetteforum.com and you'll find any information that you'll need for any issue. It's a great resource to help you through trouble. I was not mechanically inclined before owning the car, but I became somewhat knowledgeable over the years because mechanics over charge for a Corvette. You'll be OK and good luck in your search.

HAHA, my wife glared over at me while she was watching this vid. The cost of modifications vid that I uploaded after this one forced me to go get her a nice gift HAHA.

Great video btw! And how many head turns do you get😎

All the time people ask about it and can't believe it's 16 years old. I'll have people at lights and drive thrus taking pics, which is cool but it's just a vette lol. Awesome owner experience for sure. Thanks for the tip on the engine restore

That's a great combo for sure.

Time has certainly flown by. Had it for 2 years before I started this, so KZfaq is only 3 years lol.

@@YellowVette04 okay I added mine up too. I bought mine 07/2018 and added 12,000 miles. I am currently at $8734. Major expense attributed to needing new tires all 4 about $1200 and new clutch, slave cylinder, master cylinder, and rebuilt torque tube being about $2500. The only thing I have going for me is that my KBB value is $1400 more than my purchase price. This does not include modifications.

That's not bad for replacing those major parts. Shouldn't have to touch those for many years now.

Exactly. Essentially owned the car for 5 years and only lost $500 in depreciation. Hard to beat that with any car.

I've heard about NCM being a great deal. I gotta call them up and get a quote. Thanks for the tip. Resale doesn't matter to me either, especially after the mods I've done since that's a lot of money I won't get back lol.

@Mike's 84 Corvette. That's probably the best move you could have made in switching to the NCM insurance. So many of my club members have done that through the years that I can no longer keep track and not one them said their previous Insurance Company would match the Museum's pricing. Keep in mind, you can't bundle with them any of your other cars. Save the Wave👋

@@petercarey6883 Thanks. Yeah I’m super happy with NCM Insurance. And definitely Save the Wave!

Nice to see you driving that thing like you do.

I sure hope so lol. My 4 year ownership vid last year has 32k views, so I hope it gains a little traction.

Right?? GoPro video looks great with the clear top. Now I gotta try some POV style videos. They are always too dark when I tried previously, so now they should be good. I gotta figure out audio bc the drone can be heard pretty bad in the video lol.

@@YellowVette04 audio sounds good to me. Let’s me know she’s not stock. I don’t hear any drone.

You'll hear it if you use headphones that have good bass

Thanks man. Happy New Years to you and yours

Thanks man. Happy New Year to you and yours.

You may not like going from a C6 to a C5. Cars aren't that much different, but the C6 is more refined and better interior.

WHAT?? Lol oh yea, she drones a lot and is very loud inside the cabin. Love it, but most passengers don't haha.

@@YellowVette04 I was playing your video on my trucks speakers and it was like whoa but on my phone it’s fine 😊

I didn't notice it on my phone either, but then when I used my headphones you can definitely hear the drone lol.

Been a great time so far and it only gets better and better.

@@YellowVette04 nice ..l just get new leather and foam seat to upgrade and l will post the picture when l finish at fourm ...and they are yellow 👍

Niiiiice. I was close to doing the same, but wanted to change it up. I still may do that a few years from now, but we'll see

I love the clear top. I haven't sanded it yet, but it's one of my favorite purchases so far. Once it's dialed in, it'll look great.

I like em and they look great too. Idk if I'll go back to them again just to try something else, but we'll see.

@@YellowVette04 for the price they are my favorite tire, in warm weather I can dead hook in 1st

You try Firehawk Indy 500s?

@@YellowVette04 nope I have not.. is that what you have your eye's on?

Possibly, but Hankooks are still cheaper lol. I gotta decide on wheels and then I'll decide on tires. I don't do anything crazy and they haven't let me down yet.

Thanks for watching and commenting

You gotta consider. If a. Belts bad pullies bad refurbished alternators. Break pads disk replacement head lights. Luckily the. Headlights work long term. Radio. Button lights luckily u can buy the little bulbs at auto zone or which ever store. U go. Too. Alignments. Which u can. Get free. Pep boys. Tires I don't even burn out. But better over time back tires. Wear faster then front I guess all the taking off fast. From the stop lights. Lol man and keeping it clean. Daily pricey. Lol things but at least you know how to do alotta stuff by yourself. So that takes out the maintenance part. I've had to do it all and that's only 10 months worth of ownership 😇😅 i tell people all the time man like you can't treat vettes like all these other daily drivers you see it's a performance vehicle so everythings gotta be. Bar grip perfect almost. The good thing is once you change out important parts. There's waranty through auto zone. Pep boyz like my break pads and disk are still warranty so free of charge. Lol my alignments are free cuz i paid for the year. Check ups babied the car. Basically lol

You said it right. The car is 16+ years old, so that comes with maintenance. It's going to be hard to find one that doesn't require something. I guess I lucked out because it honestly hasn't needed anything except routine maintenance. But eventually I'll have to do more and more things. I'm kinda doing the maintenence on my own terms, instead of when it needs to be done. We'll see how long that lasts tho lol. Thanks for watching and the comments.

Insurance is one of those things that vary drastically from location to location. Thanks for watching and commenting

Low Beam is 9006, high beam is 9005. Many shave down the plastic tab on a 9005 bulb to fit in a 9006 bulb since a 9005 is brighter, but I switched to LED.

@@YellowVette04 thank you

The cam has been great. Even on 20° mornings there's no issue with warm up. That sounds like a tuning issue rather than a cam issue. I went with a mild-medium cam, BTR Stage 2, so bigger cams might be a different story.
