The hood release came off in his hands and the hood stayed shut. The General is a cheap s.o.b.
My uncle has had numerous z06's, both new and used and never had a single problem. He doesn't baby them either. Now has a zr-1 and drives it almost every day w/ no issues. All makes and models have some bad apples, but for the most part, the corvette is a very reliable, low maintenance, trouble-free car. Bang for the buck it can't be beat.
