This was my previous ride
 
I've always wanted one since I was 7 years old. I finally bought one but kept it for 3 yrs. Got rid of it for re-occuring issues that GM has fixed, updated, new TSB's and just never had a permanent fix for. If I get another one it will be a 68-72 Roadster.

What year is it? It always takes GM a few years to "get it right". The new C6 is a lot better than the older one. Still the QC leaves a lot to be desired on a car of that price. That being said, all cars have flaws. I couldn't find a new 370Z on either car lot I went to that wasn't scratched. They have junk paint or Nissan dealerships like to kick their cars. They overheat. Etc.

It seems that under 100K, you just pick your poison, and I can't afford more than 100K on a car, so I compromise along with you.

That beign said, I love white. Owned a black car, silver car, red car, dark green car, and if anyone still made a dark green car, it would be my favorite, but noone does.

Pretty car! Too bad it gave you so many headaches.

Same with my R50! $3k in repairs in 10 months before I dumped it.

Do you hate/love cars?!!

It was an 05. I was looking to buy an 08, 09 or a 2010 before I decided to get a Z and noticed that a lot of the issues I had with my 05 still existed with the new models. I've gotten just so tired of not being able to drive the car when I wanted to, always have to take it in to the Dealer just got old real fast.

I like White because its different from the basic cliche Red, Black,Yellow and Blue that you see here in the Northwest. My Z is the Pearl White and I love it.:tup:

It certainly looks great! What kind of issues did you have trouble with?

If you do, be prepared to spend lots of time and money on constant repairs and tweaks (I own a '72 and '73, both coupes).

I had a tranny/rear diff/wheel bearings redone. Also I had an electrical problem.

My rear diff clutch was rebuilt 3 times and the last time it was rebuilt is when I got rid of it. My BCM replaced 2 times.

Pearl White is obviously the best color. You won't hear any arguments from anyone on this forum about that.:icon17:

GM is stupid too. Rather than replacing the entire unit with a rebuilt, they have the hacks at the dealer to rebuild it. I lost my car with an electrical problem for a full month. My stability control used to kick in and slam the car to the right whenever it wants to. I had the GMPP warranty, which saved me a few bucks. Also at the time, 19" race tires were expensive. I traded it in for a Prius and RX-8. Of course the RX-8 didn't do anything for me, I ended up back in a 370.

As much as I hate GM, I can tell you Nissan service are worse!

When the Corvette was down, they gave me a Cobalt to drive. The thing was a piece of crap. Heck, it was so bad my puppy poop in there 3 times! She never did it in any of my other cars.

ProfessorDave 10-14-2010 08:19 AM

Oh sure, blame the dog! (smart puppy)

BTDT! Mine was an '08, White on Red. Fun car for the year and a half that I owned it, but don't miss it at all.
