Or at the very least, it'll keep someone from wasting their time and more importantly, my time because they don't know how to pair their new phone to the car's Bluetooth because the salesman did it for them the first time.

At least the salesman knew how to do it. Most salesman I've dealt with don't know shit about what they're selling...except how to pressure you to sign on the dotted line.

Could be a design flaw.

Engineers designed a manual latch, but driver could not find it.

Sat in a C6 before? The latch on the floor next to the sill is damn near the first thing your eyes are drawn to every time you open the door and get in.

Now I'm sure most of you know that I'll blather on about Corvettes all day here, but it's sad to see where this thread got derailed. But since it has...

To YOU. But you're not a woman, so... yeah. Trust me, to the majority of women I know, it's NOT "just a word" to us. And is it so hard to use a little brain juice, and find another descriptor?

So serious question here to you Connie or any other of the ladies who wants to take it.

And I'm not trying to start some battle of the genders here. But why is it that the mighty C-word is so devastating and offensive to some girls. Yet there really isn't a word out there that has the same effect on a guy. Dick/prick? Asshole? Bro? Sure those could pick a fistfight if you said it when tensions were already high, but so could "fluffy kitten" if it was already boil over time.

I think it depends on who your English speaking influences are, and where they came from.

Jeez, now you're associating the C word with the N word?

Not like women were held down for years and called that word on a daily basis.

It's a nasty word, yes, but that's because of what OUR society has made it. Watch the BBC sometime, they use it almost as much as HBO uses the word Fuck.

:facepalm



Sucks about the dead doggy. :rose

Koi, yes, that's exactly what has happened and still happens. This word is used as a means to belittle, shame, and denigrate. There's a reason words have power, real power, and with so many options in the English language you can pick and choose the strength of your venom.

get it while it's easy
no offense intended to anyone - seriously, i mean it, no offense - but for fucks sake, a dude and his dog are dead. is it possible to give a shit about that without bringing every bit of antagonism, baggage or sharp stick you can think of along for the ride? give it a fucking rest already. everybody is clever, offended or what have you. i get it. but show a little respect for the dead, and go shit in some other thread.

I also find it offensive, to me it is the most rude, demeaning thing you could call a woman. It just sounds foul.

I can not think of an example that men use on each other in the English language that is as nasty, the closest one I could think would be to call a guy a "Whey" in Spanish (Mexican), unless you are very close buds.

The first time I tried to get gas for our ML500 it took me a few minuets to figure out how. There was no gas release button I had seen my wife just push it and it popped open. After 2 or 3 minuets I figured out if the car was locked the gas cover wouldn't open :facepalm

Budman didn't the push button door thing on your V go out before? I am glad the V wagons have traditional door handles.
It is really sad this guy didn't know about the lower latch. I wonder if he had some sort of mobility issue that wouldn't let him bend down to pull the latch
