Wait just a munite? If I'm driving on a run-flat performance tire, (one without a tread-plug), and it goes down, how is this substantially different than when, (a properly specified and installed tread-plug goes down)? [Not including a side-wall blow-out... in either circumstance]. This is why regularly checking lug nuts (140) and displaying (DIC tpms tire pressures) are the most important safety items on any sports car! Lugs, TPMS, oil pressure, and coolent temps!!!!

Rick, as far as "plugging" tires go, Michelin has a guide to repairing a punctured tire. not a plug but a patch. A proper patch following Michelin's procedure will restore the complete speed rating of the tire

Hi Rick and Chuck. I test drove a 23 c8 Stingray last weekend. It has already had two owners and now has over 9500 miles. I really went just to sit in one and see how it felt. When I asked the salesman if it had the 7500 mile service and dct filter change, he didn’t really know what I was talking about . I told my wife that is just the perfect reason not to buy another Corvette from anyone but Rick! I will not be buying locally in Texas! I really don’t think there is a dealer anywhere that takes care of its customers like you do! Thanks for the knowledge. Hope to buy from you before too long….

OK, I have entered the Eray contest. So if I win, I expect to get a send off pat, even if it is virtual.😂 What would also be great is if Corvette would get you allocations for the Eray so my current status of 1101 could get advanced. I know that is also your wish. Bet it would sure make your life easier. We all just need to continue to hang in there. You don’t need any more pressure. Get your health under control. That has to be your priority. All else will fall in place.💕👍

As always I enjoy watching you and Chuck. I feel for the guys that are waiting for their cars as mine was ordered and ready (2024 Z51 3LT fully loaded) in 6 weeks from order to NCM delivery. Walked away from dealers wanting 10K over MSRP or wanting large deposits. Unfortunately you and I weren't able to do business due to timing issues, but maybe in the future. I'm only 72, so i'm sure there will be a few more cars in my future.

I've been doing the "flood start" technique for awhile now. It made sense to me since gravity will cause the oil to leave the top of the motor on a car that's stored for 5 to 6 months. I don't want to risk metal to metal contact. I use Mobile 1 oil and filters. Didn't know about the AC Delco check valve. I may switch to AC Delco filters if Mobil,1 filters don't have a check valve. TY
