Would something like this make it easier to attach the outer studs? https://tite-reach.com/products/tite-reach-extension-wrench-combo-pack

Not since high school. I still cuss out at some bad drivers in Morse code though.

If you buy it out of state (of CA) the dealer can do the work to register it in CA in which case you will not have to have it smog checked until at least 6 years later (by which time, the smog monitors should all be initialized). The dealer I ordered mine from in AZ registered it in AZ...

Seems most valets are actually teen drivers.:D Valet mode should probably be based on teen driver mode plus additional restrictions.

yes

My car was ordered with the CA emissions option(YF5/NC7) from a dealer in Phoenix (based on my home address in CA). I did not choose "courtesy delivery" to my local dealer which would have avoided reregistering but I avoided my local dealer for a reason. I picked it up in AZ and drove it back...

My situation was with the CT5VBW and I've heard the Corvettes have the same issue but maybe the 4 is different. Here's the information that applied to me: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10171875-9999.pdf I had over 800 miles on the car and it still wasn't ready (500 miles driving...

You will have to have a smog check done to register it and you find out when they plug in their equipment. Even an AutoZone, eg with an OBD II tester should be able to determine if the smog system (O2 monitor) is “ready”. I haven’t heard if there has been any improvement in the smog readiness...

I’ve started my 1st gen that way with a dead battery but I’m wondering if electronic parking brake would prevent that by not releasing when the battery is dead.:unsure:

Add me to the list too.

There are a few small pieces of carbon fiber in there. ;)

The wheels aren't too bad cleaning. Getting to the calipers to clean those is a lot more difficult though than the black wheel.

Mine was up for renewal recently too. I called the toll free number to ask a few questions and the person I talked to extended my free period by 3 more months while I "decide" after which it will go to the essentials plan unless I cancel in July. I let the data expire without renewing since I...

My order was one of first pre orders and there was no way to see what the bronze calipers would look like with the bronze wheels that I changed to when they became available (on infrared body). Rather than risk almost matching I went with totally contrasting to red calipers.
