Don't want the strippers to know you're married, eh?

I'm not home yet, taking one more weekend of vacation, but reasonable luck so far. Had a couple of ABS messages though, which fortunately go away after a restart. Hoping it works long enough to get home.

Oh yeah... half the C5 logo fell off my hatch, so I had to peel off the rest of it. I might have suspected vandalism, except it happened during a morning's drive when nobody had the chance. So, should I replace it, or just de-logo it ??

my purple peep is my new driving companion...maybe it will turn blue by next year?

Not when you factor in the Harmon edge!

One year we got a little afternoon rain and someone in a C5 took the 65 on-ramp a little too fast leaving the museum, and ended up off the ramp and in the grassy bowl.

I think the same year, there was a Vette-on-Vette fender bender on the ride out to Wendell's house - cars accordioning in the huge caravan out to the Homestead.

One year at the dragstrip a heavily-modded C5 broke something major. I was in the staging lanes at Beech Bend when we heard the loud "rrrrrrRROOOOOAAR BANG!. Not sure what broke. After they loaded the C5 on a trailer being pulled by a big bronze duallie, the pickup/trailer/Vette staged and finished the 1/4 mile...

Something like that. All the sleezy docs I work with that try and pick up the nurses take there rings off at work.
The good ones where em' though.

Well considering how hot it was my fingers were swelling past my comfort level so I took it off and laid it on the table near the door. I then went to get some ice & apparently the door didn't close all the way. When I got back it was gone. I turned the room upside down & went through all my luggage too but it was gone. I reported it at the front desk too.

Me too. No traffic and no cops all the way on 55 in Mississippi. Louisiana was another story, lit up with Ka and Kx band shit and I-12 was packed. Still, it was a good 10 hour run.

Phil, that's a shame about the paint

I'd vote remove it completely. Micah (mph1972) did this on his C5 coupe and it looked great.

When I was married, I always wore mine. Didn't try to pick up nurses.

Powerstroke? If so spend the money on a sinister egr delete kit instead of a new egr valve. On the other hand a lot of the times you can pull the egr and clean it our with brake cleaner to get the soot out and it may start working again. But I would be worried about the condition of the egr cooler if that cracks it head gasket time. Slap me if I ramble on.
