Interestingly, manufacturers treat re-enabling differently. Here's a small sample size, Cadillac and Toyota, the only two vehicles I've personally owned with the passive "keyless unlocking." I did some experimentation. Cadillac leave this disabled until you press and hold lock and unlock for...

One data point: My engine builder, Kathy Walker, is on one of the Blackwing Facebook groups (no idea which one). Had a nice online chat with her. You might try there.

Of course, if you're at Costco you should adjust pressures there with their nitrogen pumps and preset pressures.

Go with the coastal blue, bronze wheels, blue calipers. I didn't know how the blue calipers would look in person back when I ordered in 2021, but when I later saw them at Spring Mountain that became the only regret I had in my build. I think they look great in person, and are much more...

I'm not following the question. You're not a fan of the signal getting intercepted when you press the button but you're okay with a continuous broadcast??? I feel like I'm missing something. >> EDIT, per leres' post below. "... but you're okay with leaving the fob in a state where it will...

I think it's challenging for all of us to get out of the car, it's a lot of fun and we want to keep driving!

That's how the goat rodeo works. Congrats on figuring out the game. If you hadn't bought the '09 CTS-V your car wouldn't have been built when it was. In my case, I had to leave town for a few weeks. Only then did GM ship my car (after 5.5 months), once I left.

Are you allowed to brandish your brakes in Michigan?? https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-750-234e I guess it's not a firearm, so I suppose you could.

Only 2 months??? GM moving fast nowadays. Jealous.

Take the bird in hand if dates are available, don't worry about the heat.

+1, great approach if you want to daily drive. I did exactly this with my old BMW. 20k+ miles, the "new" was gone, no need to shelter it. With my 5BW I'm more attached since I bought it new, and because I think cars of this type are getting more rare. I'd like it to last so I just don't...

GM gonna GM.

Mild counterpoint: Not all dealerships are as bad as the horror stories I've read here. I didn't know much about this whole process when I started down the road to buy my 5BW. I must have lucked out and dealt with a salesman who at least was aware of what he didn't know. After a little bit of...

I know this has been mentioned before, but count me among those who would happily fly to Michigan to pick up my car if "factory delivery" was offered. I wish it was.

What does the 6-speed have to do with tires? ;)
