[@blackdiamondz0634]

Awesome Tech Tuesday’s, thanx for putting on this amazing show Rick, we Vette guys and gals are grateful!!!

[@rapture89]

Always thankful for the tech Tuesdays!

[@RichardK-ql7mt5qi2y]

Don’t worry about having long conversations with us!! I watch them several times because I get distracted sometimes and want to hear everything you talk about and when Chuck is with you, that’s a huge bonus. So thank you and Cardinal Chuck for recording tonight’s episode early! Always great information! I love to hang out with y’all!

[@tedspaseff-zr8yh]

Always look forward to Tuesdays because of Tech Tuesday. Thank you both for taking time out of your busy schedules to give us great information on our cars. Chuck, enjoy your well-deserved vacation!!

[@johnchambers772]

Blessed be Cardinal Chuck and his words of wisdom. Rick, thank you for years of Tech Tuesday and all of your videos. We have been enjoying the Corvette of our dreams for over a year, due to you. Selfishly, stay healthy and happy to continue the wonderful work.

[@larrynewberry3500]

Thanks for another great Tech Tuesday, guys. Chuck, thank you for coming in for the show and your info. And thanks too, Timber and the first young lady in her peaceful car. 😊😊😊

[@jeffginwv9425]

Hey Rick. Looking forward to today’s upload!

[@mikejohnston8872]

Good video. I look forward to watching it. Thanks

[@DL-lz6pj]

I really enjoy Tech Tuesday’s with Chuck and Ricky Conti.

[@robertjakicic5878]

Have a safe and great vacation Chuck and enjoy another episode of tech Tuesday, I would like to add that I purchased a tpms scanner from Amazon and it works fantastic I would assume for guys that track there cars and switch out their stock rims and put on after market would like to still monitor their air pressure .

[@danvandusen128]

Great afternoon RICK!! Timing was perfect today. #1 chk in. Thanks for the updates and all you do for the Corvette community. I try to watch everything you do and enjoy ever minute.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

thanks so much for that

[@v8behind]

Thanks for all the tech info Father Chuck and Deacon Rick.

Hi Rick and everyone! Just finished voting! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@braddoyle5788]

Yep she’s right! Chillaxing👍

[@bobpost3656]

Great show. Tech Tuesday has fun content with a couple of smiley guys. LOL

[@jackb8835]

You guys do a great job and it always feels like you're having a personal conversation with me - and we've never met. 😂 don't know but think Timber may request air time after the blonde video. I actually thought it was a scroll to the next video. Hey I know... you and Chuck open a corvette dealership here in Nashville and you can sell me a ZR 1 and service it. Then We can all ride the Natchez trace and tail of the dragon 😊 keep up the good work. 👍

[@Elaine-kf5ig]

👍..Tech Tuesday is always very informative… thanks Chuck for being here tonight with Rick!… as always .. enjoy “Your Beautiful Rides”….. lol …cute little “.shrunkin” petite corvette.. lol … and oh that “corvette bed”… that’s a corvette dream for sure!!..lol…🤣…🧸

[@joelpierce3940]

If my wife ordered me a Corvette I would be eternally grateful! As a matter of fact, when I asked if I could buy a Corvette in 2019, she replied, sure no problem.

[@st5637]

Great info , but your wife spending $60k you were not expecting is not cool.

[@msowerby]

Some sharp looking Accelerate Yellow Z06s in the vlog 💛💛💛

[@dannyengland126]

Great pictures

[@mxtv1258]

I like the longer videos.

[@alsanchez7362]

Bought my 2024 z06 out of town sight unseen only through pictures. When it was delivered on Dec 1st it had a loud engine tapping noise. Sent to to my local chevy dealer did the whole "picoscope" sent audio to GM and GM approved the repair. Then they "repaired it' but still has the loud tapping noise. Went right back to the dealer. GM engineers are now involved. To date ive only had the Z in my possesion for only 4 days since Dec 1st. May be looking into a buyback.

[@floridarentals2852]

Any success with repairing the tick yet? Or did GM buy it back?

[@AFVetteran]

Great question on the combo override. So I could substitute colors on the interior. Great to know.

[@RISCy27]

Great show! I ordered my 2024 Z06 a while ago and will hopefully receive it in June. It will be my first American car. I am from Switzerland, so there are many places, where they already have a lot of experience with the new Corvette. So your show really fuels my anticipation for the car and my knowledge of what to look out for. Thanks again!

[@lorizeppelina2286]

Hey Rick, we'll listen to your entire video, but don't accuse us of being mature! 🤣

[@RickCorvetteConti]

LOL....thanks guys!

[@jasonray9568]

Chillaxing…been there, done that and she’s 100% correct. And Rick, please stop apologizing for the length of your videos! I think I can speak for all of us in that we’re somewhat ‘sad’ when they’re over…no matter how long they last. Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@johnmoorhousedecorated-nam899]

After owning Chevy's and many Vettes for years we're use to the conventional V8 sound. This Z06 sounds much different in the cabin. Similar to a sewing machine. It takes a while to get used to it. I seem to think it gets better when the engine reaches normal temp.

[@TheCoach-s7s]

Glad to see Timber back on Your Beautiful Rides. Just sayin.

[@Texas_Clay]

Awesome job boyz. Thanks for y’alls hard work putting this together. Texas Clay

[@TrackSpeed815]

Rick I loved last Sundays show. Please continue to Vlog from the heart. Joe Lamb🤜🤜

[@kregelin]

Ricky! It's ORYGUN to EVERYONE! Thanks for all that you do for the 'Vette community.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

🤣🤣🤣👊👊👊

[@RainKemperman]

🧜‍♀️💙 still looking for the self-centering wheel caps. Any ETA from Paragon? Thanks for all the tips, time, and info.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

should be coming soon...I will get an update this weekend when I am in Iowa!

[@youngproscia]

Thank you Rick and Chuck

[@thomasjollon3483]

Not a fan of wheel spacers,they arefor show not for go,lol.i got a set of forgeline wheels with a different offset much safer,in my opinion great vlog.

[@larrynewberry3500]

Amen, brother. I've seen more than a few wheels come off with the cheap ones most people use. It's not a great idea for track use.

[@cacarpenter89]

Which ones? Planning on a set of F01s for mine.

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Don't edit!! We love ALL of your videos Rick!!❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@Wheel.Estate]

Which dometic cooler would fit in the frunk?

[@storcutt72]

Easy heat shield "fix?" High temp spray paint. Took me all of two minutes.

[@matthewklug7679]

If your on here to knock Corvettes, please leave the channel. I’m sure the rest of us, including Rick and Chuck won’t miss you.

[@clark-n-anitakalens7599]

Thanks Ricky for the great content!

[@kbergpe]

Re: silver insulation behind tail pipes. I taped 2 long brushes together and just took my time and painted it. No wheel, splashguard or fender lining to remove. I used a high heat matt black paint.

[@petergriffen5728]

Question for chuck.... c8 Z06 reference to the first 7500 mile service on c8 being free including dct filter change … Does this apply to the z06 as well ? I just had it done at my local dealer and they said c8 with the 5.5L LT6 engine does not apply and proceeded to charge me a grand to do it …

[@johnmoorhousedecorated-nam899]

That silver at the back of the car you see. Use a barbecue paint (Flat/Closs) 500 degrees with an extension nozzle. takes 5 min.

[@ShawnClouthier]

I bought a can of flat black High temp paint, it's actually 2000 degrees, but have not tried it yet. Glad to see someone else has done it. Thank you.

[@johnmoorhousedecorated-nam899]

I can't believe some have taking the back of the car off to solve the issue. @@ShawnClouthier

[@dannyengland126]

Great program

[@v8behind]

I have paragon spacers on my 24HTC, NO ISSUES and did not have to find anything. Drives just fine, looks great

[@stephenr115]

I saw reports of inside wheel well being damaged due to spacers.

[@Wheel.Estate]

Wheel spacers can cause your wheels to spit crap all down the side of your car. Scratching the hell out of your panels... That's why they're tucked in a little.. Get mud flaps lol

[@dshindo1837]

Many of the direct injection engines have a distinct tic .

[@timobermeyer4362]

I like the follow up on the brake issue. It is nice to know that those brakes can be replaced by a professional like Chuck without incident. The beautiful rides were nice. I wish GM would get a great purple color for the Corvette palette. You can never get enough Timber!

[@salvicari4433]

First of all, thank you Chuckles, for doing this on your vacation. Rick, these videos NEED to be longer. I truly enjoy watching them. I learn a lot even being as old as I am. Although I’m not a fan of the Rapid Blue (no offense), Steve from NY had a great spec. Rapid Blue HTC with the black top and red Corvette badge. That was stellar. Can Chevy get rid of some of the gray tones and introduce same bright, aggressive colors? Bring back the Sebring Orange and remove the Amplify Orange as it is too muted. Elkhart Lake Blue was nice. How about a purple hue color or a bright green? Hate to say it but Dodge got the colors right on their Challengers and Chargers. The Sinnamon Stick is gorgeous. Just a thought

[@Vetteguy80]

Hi Rick, Great show again today. BTW...My Z06 is on the transport truck, and it's showing location at Pataskala, Ohio. Maybe had a drop off at your dealership. Final destination is New Jersey.

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

What's a swaybar for Rick? ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@v8behind]

They make stickers to cover the exhaust shield.. Not a bad job I done both in about an hour

[@joelpierce3940]

The Engineers didn’t design the car for spacers. Why add more unsprung weight and perhaps cause a safety issue.

[@stephenr115]

Where does a guy like the ⭐️ go on vacation?

[@Brandon-hx5xc]

Riptide blue with torch red body accents!?? 🥴

[@RickCorvetteConti]

to each his own..

[@charltonlane3097]

Carlton from philly how do get your photos to submitted to tech tuesday

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for watching [e-mail]

[@stephenr115]

Rick how can I determine how “rare” my Z06 is? With ceramic brakes (thought number low), 70th with convertible etc what is best “formula” to make this determination if at all possible? Maybe a check list of what’s not there?

[@v8behind]

Grind

[@henrymontenegro1159]

Hey Rick, is that poor lady that bought the Corvette for the guy that screamed at her ...ahhhhh, available? Asking for a friend.😉😂😊

[@RobertSmith-bg9zc]

That sux that the engine ticks right out of the box and gm will maybe maybe not fix wow , we know why people make fun of the car in the car community, if it isn't heat soak , cracking wheels , its tick now days

[@dshindo1837]

Direct injection engines have a distinct tic. It’s has something to do with the high pressure fuel pump .

[@stephenr115]

Where is Timber Tenn.?

[@RickCorvetteConti]

She was in there tonight three pics 🥰🥰🥰

Pico scope? Sounds like a doctor’s tool I never want to see or experience!

Your dealership sell z06 at mrsp yet or you robbing people
