    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I must have struck a nerve. This thread is definitely has gone across a vast and of topics. Probably last post on this thread. Yes, you are correct that society has been shifted where we all say you need a college degree. Do I believe everyone should go to college. No. But if you want a...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    Lots of red but where the blue dots are usually have the highest concentration of college degrees and high paying white color jobs. Even places like TX has blue areas which are most metro areas. Not saying u need an education to succeed in life but most of these blue dots areas probably...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I got it from an out of state dealer on Dec 2022. I had it transported covered to my house. At that point, if you could get a BW at msrp, u jumped on it as I did. Well big mistake since it was black and paint was total crap. Panels were misaligned. Trunk had to be slammed shut. Well oddly...

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I got a black BW delivered to me in Jan. Dealer didn’t even take the white film off. When I did. Car look like someone took a broom and pushed snow off the panels. Scratches everywhere. On top of that, they put the film over dirt and even bird poop. I don’t think GM cars one bit if ur 100k...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Doesn’t mean u should be reckless on a public road but u realize how little u really push these cars on a spirited drive on public road. Maybe 30-40 of potentially. I sometimes wonder if I should get a 2nd slower car just to feel more of the limits on a regular road but I also ditto, need to...

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    What is your definition of warmed up? Point where car settles to its normal long term running temp or at which you can go WOT. I pondered that until I went to spring mt where we would literally jump into the cars when they are cold. Do 1-2 warm up laps and we go WOT.

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Yes it’s hard but just get on the cancellation list. Then u just have to say yes when they call you. I did the school twice. Once auto and once manual. If u want to focus on being fast and learn track, do auto. If you want to see how to push a manual on track and not necessarily be fastest...

    Happy Thanksgiving! - What New Parts Are Needed For 2025?

    i just feel like the side mirrors of the BW seemed so boring. But that is probably beyond Terrance.

    CT4 BW to Dark Horse?

    Just the whole ebrake thing is annoying. Wish I had a handle to pull. How many times I have gone back to the car just to make sure I turned the ebrake on.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    My first BW was like this. Someone must have used a wire broom to get the snow off and then put plastic wrap over bird poop. What a mess. Good thing I sold that one. Paint was a disaster.

    I stored mine in MN. Just pumped the tires to 37 psi. No flat spots. Fill gas, connect tender, leave her alone till spring. Don’t walk around the car with keys after u put on tender.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I think we as a society going forward will have to own more of our lives. It is the will of the people to have less govt, less govt support. It sucks to hear how many of you will have to bridge the gap of ins until you can get to Medicare. Hopefully the numbers work for all of you to retire...

    Media dumps

    If I were to do it again with carbon and track package, brings it to around $128k. Would cost me $68k to sell my 2023 and move up. That’s literally a new CT4 BW which probably is better for track duty anyhow. LOL

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    BRZ with their engine issues is a concern. Miata is cool but it is small. GR Corolla and their diff overheat - maybe they will get it addressed with new model. Although FWD - I just keep hearing it’s a track weapon probably most of us can’t push to its limit. I would vote type R. Not to...

    Sidewall Bump.. (morphed into Transmission replacement)

    I just ponder even if I have a slight notch in tranny for my 2nd gear, I just live with it. The amt of techs who can take apart the car and put it back together correctly for a tranny or eng change is slim to none. They all get paid a flat rate and they just move very quickly. I would trust a...
