Also, any ideas where I can get Redline synthetic 5w-30 oil on the cheap?

Thanks in advance!

Take her in, warranty work.

Like said, the worst possibility time-wise is waiting for the part. It's not "your problem", though. They should arrange something for transportation. Make sure you go to a good dealership, though. Was just reading on the 'vette forum that several 'vettes got wrecked today/yesterday at dealerships/detail shops by over-zealous application of the throttle by people with no reason to do so.

I'm having the same problem - when it gets below 20 degrees the speedometer gauge arrow dropes below 0 and won't work until the car gets warm. I've been to the shop twice. Any ideas of what the problem is, so I can help the dealership fix it.

I can't stress this topic enough: Tachometer / RPM problem ???

You need to get the combination meter swapped!
