I'm aware. I don't want it digitally. I want a small form-factor book in my glovebox like I've had with every new car since... forever.

You need to read through that and the "recall" a bit more carefully. For Cadillacs anyway, there are no more printed manuals. All the "recall" does is have the tech power cycle your HU to get it to download the manual to the MyCadillac app. If you want a printed manual, you go to Helm and...

While there's always a chance for the 9th gen car, the engineering for the 8th gen car is done. There won't be any "surprise" manual transmissions in the C8. It's "stuck" with the current Tremec DCT box.

OK punkin, I'm done here. You clearly do not understand what PTM is or what it's for. Enjoy your day.

If this is about "hooning" then you don't need to worry about PTM. It's clear you don't understand what the system is for. Instead of asking about it, you're taking an attitude. Enjoy your car in the ditch.

No they won't. Not PTM. PTM makes fast drivers faster. GM drivers will outdrive anyone on this board all day, every day, and they're faster with PTM on, on the track. It wasn't tested against amateur drivers, it was tested against GM's best.

Why do you really want to use that? Do you understand what PTM actually is and that you're not faster with it off?

With a new transmission, you should assume that your 500 mile break-in period has been reset. It won't show that on your tach, that'll still open up at 500 miles suggesting that you can rev out to 6500RPMs. But the break-in period is for your transmission and diff, not the engine. So with the...

One of my weaknesses is spatial awareness. This meaning: knowing where your extremeties are in space around you at all times. This relatively poor spatial awareness means that I'm unable to have nice watches. Nothing fancy or the like. I am constantly going around corners or through doorways...

Dustin from Sewell confirmed for me that several of his '26 customers have complained about the same thing. Working as designed, and in this case the design sucks. One more thing to disable every single time I get into the car.

I do, but that shouldn't matter as far as the owners manual is concerned. It's not even mentioned at all in the '25 and beyond OM. So it looks like it was, in fact, just wholey deleted from the car.

Good catch on that one. It looks like it was removed in MY25 and beyond.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I start the car with the belts already on or not. Was that snippet you clipped from your OM? My '26 OM says nothing about automatic tightening. I wonder if they just deleted for '25 or '26.

Here's another interesting one, less an annoyance and more of a question: I went for a ride in someone else's '22 5BW today so he could compare it with the Precision Pack on mine. I was reminded of my '23 when he started moving his car and the seat belts tightened up a bit. My '26 doesn't do...

That part is incorrect. Please refer to the specific statute on the matter in VA. So you can have it, it just can't be powered or anywhere near a power source.
