    Manual transmission take rate

    My car is an exception to that rule, although it is Shadow Metallic (gray). I had an order waiting for months that wasn't going to get filled in 2022, so I was looking at 2023 at the earliest. I had checked around at dealer inventory in Ohio and surrounding states and in September I got a...

    I can understand the summer tires won't work effectively in cold weather. I do question the manufacturer warnings about not storing in colder weather and cracking tires by driving on them.

    Access to GM Parts Database

    Cleaning this thing is a BITCH !!!

    I wouldn't use them for bugs, but supposedly you can use the synthetic clay towels to remove contaminants without damage to surfaces protected by ceramic coatings. But verify with the brand of towel you use.

    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Watch out. The highway patrol has spoiler sniffing dogs now and you can get hard time for that.

    Looking for brake pad recommendations for track driving

    The owner's manual mentions this in the Track Events and Competitive Driving section starting on page 213...but no cross references from the tire section so it's easy to miss.
