I'm out of ideas for a Christmas gift for my uncle. He's a fan of Corvettes, but I don't want the gift to be one of those cheesy branded luggages or crystal Corvette paperweights. Help me out here!

Does he own one? If so, what year?

2010 coupe. Previous owner of a Stingray, can't for the life of me understand why he sold it but I believe mechanical problems got the best of him and he wanted a driver, not a project car.

Budget?

I had an '07 black coup, then sold it. Now, im waiting for a deal to jump on a Z06.

Lightly modded '99 FRC here.

Looking to spend up to $150... can't really get parts for that, plus upgrades cost WAY more than that, I'd imagine.

wow, the whole thread changed after I posted. Nevermind. lol

Pontiac GTO's are waaay cooler. Tell him to sell his and buy a real muscle car!

Lloyds mats would be a great addition:

My Corvette has more trunk space than one of those newfangled POS wanna-be "gto's". No thank you.

Slightly more than $150...

Just slightly.

I know - I just had to. How 'bout a Jada Toys Die Cast car?

I'll look around at a few other diecasts, that one looks a bit shoddy. But a good suggestion nonetheless

I just used that as an example - there are a bunch of other ones.

I beg to differ. I have 17.5 cu. ft. of trunk space and can comfortably accommodate four people - five if they're friendly.

 

But I take no offense, I still have my first mid-life crisis car, a 1990 Z51 - but it pretty much just sits in the garage now. I can get my kicks with my EDD, my G8-GT.

 

BTW, the Lloyds mats are a good idea.

 

Adios,

Hi-flow clutch slave cylinder. Or have they fixed those yet?

'63 Split Window Coupe here.

 

But like most, don't drive it enough.

Ha, interesting that you should mention that - I wasn't aware there was a general problem, but I have had the slave cylinder replaced, but that was some time ago.

Franklin mint models are good. I have a few of em. I'm a mustang owner though for my 2nd car

I have a corvette also....98 C5.... A nice gift would be one that was not corvette specific, such as was mentioned with a cleaning kit.... you could put something together yourself such as wax, polish, microfiber cloths, shammy for drying etc. You can put what you want in it and get as simple or exotic as you want while controlling the cost.

If it's a stick, get him a nice new shift knob. I got one for my father's Lingenfelter 383 and it's still his favorite thing on the car, aside from the 19" HRE's and the 500 horsepower motor.....

The G8GT is SWEEEET. A good friend of mine has one in orange and ran 12s in the 1/4mi with nothing other than a catback and some tuning. It would be my first choice for a new DD. The GTO's trunk space w/ the gas tank behind the seats just makes me angry. Add in the bland styling and I have no interest in owning one.

Hardy-har-har. Yes they make a fix, and its less than $200. ....And no I haven't done it yet
