    TWO GRAND for HEADLIGHTS?!?! Are the really THAT much better than the good old fashioned $10 ones? $2000 would be some pretty good night vision equipment now days. I guess that this is GM's plan to become profitable.

    @P161911 now with M POWER!: Yeah, two grand for headlights. It's actually good I'm reading this as it will help keep me sane while seeing all the Z06es available on AutoTrader.

    I'm not seeing anywhere near the level of damage to the front end of the vette described. Maybe they're just crap photos but the windshield looks fine, the left headlight looks fine, hood looks fine, even the foglights look fine.


    The bumper cover, right headlight and right fender clearly need replacement and the structure beneath the bumper probably needs to be replaced "for good measure" but it still looks drivable.

    @Flathead Smith: I want to make a self-deprecating comment about how the Z06 might have still ended up with ten grand of damage, but can't quite bring myself to do it. You guys already covered the sexist jerk aspect for me, so uh... thanks.


    TAI, thanks for adding that last bit of commentary :) People like you make me feel welcome here.

    I remember being a kid and getting this really awesome BB gun as a gift, had it for two days when one of the other kids wanted to 'look at it' - I had not yet learnt to tell people to look with their hands and not their eyes.


    All these years later I'm still bitter about that damn fool breaking my new BB gun. I'm just sayin'...

    1) Do not, under any circumstances take your Vette to the swirly-wash.


    2) To actually solve the problem:

    a) Learn to diagonally-approach things

    b) Just deal with it

    c) Remove the thing

    d) Quit yer whining

    OK Ray. What's the idea of trolling your own blog?

    I mean seriously...


    "I poured Windex into that hole on the engine marked "Oil" to clean it out and make it run better. Now it runs kind of rough, and it doesn't accelerate like it should. My boyfriend says to run it on the highway until it gets hot enough to boil it out. What do you think I should do?"

    There are so many helpful, correct answers, and he missed every one of them:


    1. Live in a better world


    2. Don't ever drive the car


    3. Make sure you are preceded by an attendant with a tape measure and a level


    4. Readjust your thinking. That's not an air dam, it's a shovel. Shovels are meant to be used, and sometimes they break. Always bring a spare shovel.
