I had my copy signed at our local car show. Andrew is a a member of the Tri-State Chapter and is a plethora of "V" knowledge. He said that he may have to do an updated second edition because the book was finished a few years ago and they are still making different styles .

Good thing I have absolutely no idea what you guys are talking about. I get in, push the start button and drive away. By the time I figure out some of the bells and whistles.....I park the car for 6 months during the winter and soon forget all the cool stuff that this car is capable of. I'm...

Sounds feasible.

A touch up is NOT going to look good. That is down to the black plastic and needs to be sanded and spot painted. I thought that $2k sounded a bit much. Its an easy color and should only take a day at a reputable shop. Don't go cheap. The poor man pays twice.

How in the hell did that happen ? !!

Agree with the PDR guy first. You may be pleasantly surprised. This is why I will NEVER own a black car. A small dent looks like it was hit with a 20 pound sledge hammer. White hides everything.

I guess it depends on what dealership you buy from. I got the first one free and that was it. I bought a new 2022 Kia Telluride from a local dealer. They offered 10 free oil changes. I drove cross country with the car and when I got back I wanted my free oil change. They told me that the...

I have ALWAYS done a an engine "break in " oil change on my new cars. Don't care what the dealership says. I know too many engine builders that have said that it is a cheap insurance policy. Did mine at 1427 miles, since it was my first FREE oil change anyway. My car has only 6500 miles on...

You can never have enough G-Shocks in your collection (or Invictas). These are my remaining 3 of 4 G-Shocks. Each one represents a life changing moment for me. The first one with the green dot (safety dot) was when I became a helicopter pilot. (Casio told me that it is one of the first...

When I was there a few years ago, they told me that they have a deal with a California dealership to buy all the old Blackwings. I for one, would only buy it at bargain basement prices, knowing in my mind that the car has had the snot beaten out of them. Don't buy a pitbull that was abused and...

They give everyone a water bottle with the V-Academy logo on it. WARNING.....don't put it in the dishwasher ! I still have mine but heard this public service announcement from others on this site.

I do believe that if you ordered a $300,000+ Celestiq , you would get one sooner than than a Blackwing ! :Steer

I used the On Star button years ago to get directions to a Cirque du Soleil show that was being held on Randalls Island in NYC. I did not know that they also had a regular show at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. The directions sent me into Manhattan and I ended up having to double back to...

That looks like a fully loaded , beautiful Hummer......but,.....I wouldn't pay 109K for it, No way, especially 1995. It had better have only 5000 miles on it and have been garage kept and maybe only then 75K - 80K.

My cousin lives in Gilbert AZ and he has told me that he has to replace one of his windshields at least twice a year !
