Unfortunately with two little kids at home a few hours might as well be a few weeks... It really is unfortunate because after Spring Mountain I'd love to be able to explore more of what the car can do.

I actually once eked like 29mpg out of it when I found myself genuinely afraid that I was going to run out of gas. I was shocked it was possible.

Thanks, man. Maybe I'm just going insane. Or maybe all our cars are broken? Who knows.

We did a bunch of stops on the way down, like in Carmel and wherever that beach with the purple sand is, among other places. As a bonus I got to flog a rental Volvo S60 through those amazing twisties. But yes, according to google maps the highway would have been much faster.

Last time we started in the bay area and then drove all the way down the PCH to get to the LA area where my wife has family, and then all around the area when we were there.

I envy you guys in Cali with your canyons. I've visited a couple of times and the driving roads there are incredible. There is absolutely nothing resembling that where I live.

Thanks, and you're right that oil temp should settle a little higher than coolant temp so I was wrong there. I'm only noticing the differences because the coolant temp always settled about 10 degrees higher up until a few months ago, and I've taken that same drive a bunch of times and always...

I don't know, but I'm not aware of anything beyond what's in a normal car.

ETA: I just realized I could display my oil temp as well as coolant temp. Turned on the display and romped on the car for a couple minutes, I can't imagine this disparity is normal.

Hi all, throughout my ownership, the coolant temperature tops out around 190-192 for a fully warmed up car and stays there unless I beat on it. Lately, I've noticed that it's been getting up to 180-181 and doesn't warm up further from there. I also just took a 100 mile drive and observed...

Would you drive it in a box? Would you drive it with a fox?

Echo everyone else in saying RIP CT4. That said, I can't imagine there would be a new CT5 but not a BW. The 5BW brings a ton of hype to the line, and the powertrain for the BW will almost certainly be a carry-over.

Thanks man, made an appointment to get it checked out.

Interesting. I just fired up the car in the garage to see if the battery light would appear. I did not put in back on the trickle charger after returning from my trip yesterday. It fired up just fine, no battery light. Started at about 12.5 volts and gradually made its way up to around 13.8/13.9...

Thanks, I think I might do that. It happened again today, though under different circumstances. I disconnected the trickle charger, got in the car, drove 50 miles without incident. When I fired up the car to drive the 50 miles back, the red battery light appeared again. At this point I realized...
