Gears & Gadgets

Gears & Gadgets From my personal truck builds to motorcycles, and the gear that makes it all work, Gears and Gadgets is about real-world experience, not marketing spin.

If you’re into trucks, motorcycles, tech, and DIY, you’re in the right place. I’m Dan, creator of Gears and Gadgets. I started this channel as a side project and it’s grown into a place for honest reviews, real-world tests, and straight talk on trucks, motorcycles, and the gear we all rely on. I’ve spent over 20 years in construction and project management, so I look at things from a practical, blue-collar perspective. No hype, no marketing spin, just how things actually perform when you put them to work. Whether it’s towing with my GMC Sierra, wrenching on a Harley, or testing gear in the garage, my goal is simple: share real experiences that help people make better choices.

Well I have 30 hours left to decide on my Carvana Corvette. Waiting on a reply from on the dash. It’s been a bit of a process working with them and Silver Rock. That’s a whole story itself. I think if they can get it sorted and cover an upholstery shop fixing the leather that’s peeling off the discontinued part, I will keep it. They already told me to get bent on the body damage as it’s “normal wear and tear”. 2013 C6 427 17K miles $60K in this condition? They did give me $1,800 in tires after selling it with 16 year old rears.

I can get used to this. Losing this premium parking space when construction starts is going to be a bummer.

The 2013 427 is basically the halo C6. It’s the convertible Z06 that Chevy refused to call a Z06.

I also feel like the C6 was the last “real” Corvette before the design started chasing supercar territory and lost a little bit of its identity.

Truth be told, I think the mid-engine Corvette should have been called the ZR1 from day one, and a more traditional front-engine Corvette should have taken the Camaro’s place.
