It's probably just that little switch that you depress to unlatch the door. Potentially useless digression: I recently parted with my 2008 C6 Corvette. The C6 was the first generation to use these new-fangled door latches where you have a switch that causes the door latch to release. One of...

Leasing it is a good idea, and that seems like a pretty darn good subsidy that they have going on. You win the "made up word of the day!" award. Congratulations. Thank you for the chuckle this morning. I've borrowed and test driven and evaluated many EV, and initially I find the torque and...

Curious: Years before, the wife and I went to Vegas, and the car rental place would not let me take it out of state - so no Grand Canyon. I thought that was both odd and annoying. Natch Turo wouldn't be a problem, but I was curious if anyone else ever ran into such a thing. A local car...

LOL, I'm that guy. No NPP, and it had no value at trade-in time. Natch, if you sell it yourself then you are correct, it does make a difference - not so much in the money, but the speed of getting rid of it.

I posted in the other thread, but I'll try to summarize here. It's a beautiful facility with great instruction and excellent food (breakfast & lunch is included) and perfect for someone who has never been on track before. If you have track experience, the benefits aren't quite as great. I did...

Why is there so much hate here for the base seats? These "base" seats are better than 98% of the seats out there on other cars (yeah, yeah, I know, it's a Cadillac) and I'll bet any of you guys and gals that the underlying structure is the same on them as on the "mid-tier" or "upper-tier"...

Yeah, my bad, those pictures aren't very accurate. I still stand by the rule that you remove the fill plug first. Ah... (old man reminiscing) I remember the days of the Haynes manuals. Before digital photography, Internets, etc. when they had actual real pictures of actual real cars with...

When I was car shopping, I remember dealing with these jokers, and before they would give me an actual price, they insisted that I "come in". Now, I get that, it's a standard technique, once you're on the premises it's easier to close the deal, but I made it clear to them several times that I...

From that picture in #4 it looks like the fill plug is perhaps not a standard bolt? Thanks for the info, @Dirkbg. I'm not going to be doing this anytime soon, but I do wonder what the torque specs are for those plastic bits like the level sensor. Of course, the standard rule (not listed in...

You can find a very nice used Omega Speedmaster for $3K or less (depending on your tolerance for scratches and "patina" and which model) and there are lots of other options for $5K or less. Unless you are stuck on the image and labels of fine Swiss watches, there are a crap-ton of second-tier...

Did they change this in 2025? Because my base 2023 has CF and alcantara bits. The only difference is the seats, AFAIK. There is something about Audi - they make great interiors, but the otherwise very well engineered cars just seem to lack some soul and character.

Congrats! Yes, it can be a slippery slope. What's not made like they used to, Corollas? Or Fossils? ;) Sweet! I almost bought the new FOIS but couldn't pull the trigger, instead I found a very nice lightly used '57 in blue, and I'm loving it. The FOIS is likely my next purchase. Who...

I found that the radar detector gave me a false sense of security. After being popped via instant on, I just quit using them.

Congrats on finding that most excellent wife.

Yeah, my E92 335i went through that. By the time it happened to me, they (I think) kinda knew what to do, so I got a new pump and new programming for the DME, or whatever computer monitors the pressure. I suspected that they didn't really fix the pump problem, but just changed the parameters...

LOL to the math savants here. As others have noted, the odds are with you. But if it literally makes you sick and you can't enjoy it, then get rid of it. Don't save it for the next guy. Go find something that you can afford and not worry about. It's like those guys who worry about their...

I think they've peaked.

Anyone else notice how he wrote 6000 words and then slipped this in near the end? Holy smokes dude! That will certainly change your perspective on life. Glad you survived OK and hope you are well now.

I don't remember who it was or where, but I think it was a Colombian government official who said something along the lines of "it's not our fault that illegal drugs go into the USA. If they stop the demand, we'll stop sending it." Unfortunately, that's the basis of it, as suggested earlier in...

There is a convertible Supra, it's called the Z4. Unfortunately, it's fugly. As for the tariff discussion, they had Robert Lighthizer on 60 minutes last night. Mr. L has been a economic advisor to several administrations since Reagan, including T's first one. He (Mr. L) is, dare-I-suggest...
