Trouble Uncovered With the Corvette Stingray

Like a colleague of mine has said once before; you get what you pay for.

 

 

When buyers decide to invest into supercars, they are subject to two options; Buy a niche supercar made by some manufacturer you have never heard of before, or buy a more mainstream automakers’ flagship vehicle. Most people opt to get the more well-known brands in the hopes that among all of the great things that come with owning a supercar, the supposed reliability that is to be had with a top-tier product from a major automaker is a deal-maker.

 

 

However that is not always the case, as our friends at Car and Driver found out. Unfortunately their long-term tester C7 Corvette Stingray suffered from an engine blow-out after a mere 6,000 miles (9,656 km). The LT1 V8 engine needed to be completely replaced under warranty. This also meant the Stingray was out of service for a rather long time—something that would be expected from a small Italian manufacturer, not Chevrolet.

 

 

 

 

The Stingray was apparently stung (excuse the pun) by metal debris from a bad oil filter getting into the lubrication system, knocking out a connecting rod bearing and caused the engine to completely self-destruct. GM is apparently investigating the issue to see if the problem is widespread or just one particular case. But the question is, can one bad apple spoil the bunch?

I was looking for a reliable bank that could offer competitive rates on products and services, and Charter Oak exceeded my expectations. Their customer service has consistently been top-notch. Even when I have had difficulty understanding something or needed help with setting up my account, they were there for me every step of the way. Charter Oak has become an integral part of my finances and I'm so glad I chose them!

I switched to charter oak login recently and it has been an absolute blessing. It's a secure and easy way to access my online banking account whenever I want, without having to wait ages for the page to load. They also have great customer service, which is always available if needed. Overall, it's one of the best online banking experiences I've had!
