    Celebrity GT Owner Sighting

    My Mac Davis story - I was at the BMI awards one year to pick up an award for the TV show "Las Vegas", which had as its theme song Elvis's "A Little Less Conversation"... which Mac wrote. The event was the usual self-congratulatory affair, VERY black-tie.... Mac rolled up to the stage to...

    Anyone had imperfections in headlights? Or is this protective film?

    As promised, pics of Venture Shield aftermath... remember, though, this car lives outside in SoCal sun, but then again, I specifically told them about this at the installer, and they assured me that this stuff would weather better than the paint underneath... that was the point, right? It...

    Anyone had imperfections in headlights? Or is this protective film?

    I hesitate to tell you my experience with Venture Shield and Sticker City, but feel I should in order that I may prevent any GT owners from going through what I went through... Three years ago, I got a Dodge Magnum SRT8 in Brilliant Black, and got info on Sticker City by seeing their ads on the...

    Here's my tale of witnessing doom and destruction in the dealership world... My local Dodge dealer, Westoaks Dodge, is one of the west coast's largest Mopar performance parts dealers, with displays at the Mopar Spring Fling, etc. I drove by there two days ago to happily plunk down full pop for...

    Over-the-top but I love it...

    BMW M-1..... I just always thought these were beautiful cars... the '80s ski-parka paintjob not so much, but, hey, check those seats! I think I had a North Face or CB-Sports ski jacket that matched those back in the day... ... still, just a burly looking car.:thumbsup...

    Wow! That is beautiful.... I'd have that for a daily driver in a second! I assume the idea is a body kit for a late-model Corvette... I hope they make it.

    Be very afraid - every time you use your cell phone that is.

    DBK - You rock for knowing about the Scooty-Puff! (Well, you rock anyway...)

    Be very afraid - every time you use your cell phone that is.

    Heh. Well spotted! For the "Futurama" fans out there, the "Scooty-Puff Jr." was a little kid's space-scooter that Fry was given to ride into interstellar battle against a huge death-star-like space station. Later, he returned with the "Scooty-Puff Pro: The Doom Bringer" which was an upgraded...

    Anybody in for service in Irving TX?

    From a post on Moparts.org; the poster's ID said he was from Irving, TX.... maybe not exactly SVT-trained? That's okay, they probably know how to remove the rear clam and reinstall it correctly, even if they can't find the clam release (or owner's manual....)...

    Silver rings in the seats?

    Mark IV - Thanks for filling in the gaps in my sketchy info.... drawn from my faulty memory! Team Jeff - Thanks for inviting me to your recent Firebird event, sorry I couldn't make it due to massive work deadlines... the first one was a great day. As to the AZ heat vs. grommets, if anybody...

    Silver rings in the seats?

    IIRC, the grommets were originally intended to provide ventilation. The original "seats" were just foam, wrapped in leather, with the grommets passing all the way through the foam pad. The foam pad then sat on a simple metal support that allowed air to circulate beneath the seat. On a modern...
