The Canucks all think they have mega-mile cars because of this.

I think VD must have hit that button when he did 158 in his C4 on Cotton Tail Road.

Yes, he's a noob, but he's definitely in love with his Vette.(we've all been there).
Maybe he's out driving it or spending the night in it...

Nope didnt leave lol. The miles dont scare me because i wanted a driveable project car.
Looks like it has newer heads on it. Headers and no cats. Everything else is in great shape. So im going to drive it on nice days this summer. And this winter tear it apart. Make it better than new

That's the way to do it .. I bought my 89 cheap , then made it the way I wanted it.. New motor, trans , interior, new everything... Of course now I could never sell it because I have so much money in it that I'd lose my azz, but I never intended to sell it anyway..Good luck with your new car and don't hesitate to ask questions if you have a problem with it.....WW

Actually Pete, it's based on L/100 KMs, so my read out is actually very low like around 12

I was just thinking about that idiot Jon. He has to rank up there as a CFC4 troll

Sweet, we know that. You also know we have to make it look good. Remember you have RPO EXP, K05, T90, D36, NM5, and V73.

Only 951-1990 Corvettes were sold in Canada. Yours is 1 of 991 that's makes it unique in the USA.

I have a bad gas smell now that im chasing. Been checking all the lines and regulator. No leaks. But did noticed when i took the gas cap off it had alot of pressure in the tank? Once i get inside the house its time to get online and investigate a bit. Never seen a issue like this yet lol.

C4's tanks hold pressure- that is a good sign. It is possible your tank purge system has a vapor leak or maybe an injector/injector line is leaking. Gas leaks are easy to find due to the vapor smell.
