    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    I can’t find the Alpin PA4 aaaanyyyywhere. It’s super f’n annoying. I ended up going with the Nitto Invo, I called their customer service to make sure they were safe to use in temps 40 and below. They said that below freezing there may be an issue, but other than that they’re good to go. Living...

    Thinking of buying a Blackwing & have a question

    Mine’s been “in transit” for the past month. Not sure why it’s taken so long to get from Detroit to Reno, but there it is. Just got a text from the salesperson with an update on the location… it’s finally in Nebraska. So if it took a month to travel across two states, I guess it’ll cross the...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Forsho… I wasn’t implying you were in the wrong at all just FYI. An honest mechanic is worth their weight in gold no doubt. I had a guy I trusted implicitly in SF, and just found one I’m fairly certain I can rely on six years after moving to Vallejo. Now I just need to find one up at my spot...

    Theft Deterrent

    Is this and the OBD lock really necessary with the MT? Probably a dumb question. A MT car got stolen from the garage at my wife’s work (hospital in Oakland), and the thief only got a block before abandoning hope… it completely ruined the transmission though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Damn! I mean I get your stance and all… but at the same time, if people know you have money, of course they’re gonna upsell and over overcharge. It doesn’t make it good business, but it’s just how it goes, hopefully we as the consumer are smart enough to keep the wool out of our eyes. It’s part...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I just ordered it all yesterday. I went directly from the VIOFO website (same prices as Amazon). Whichever can you choose to go with, it will automatically show you the options to bundle with it. The hardwired kits all say which cams they are to wire. I thought about going with 329, but didn’t...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I realized the 64 GB will get eaten up in a flash. So I ordered the 256 GB and will return the 64.

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    I absolutely love this forum! I appreciate the suggestions from those with experience. I also appreciate being stopped from making mistakes… so I cancelled my order from the caddy dealership, and bought myself the VIOFO 129 Pro Duo, complete with the hardwiring kit, a 64Gb sim, and polarized...

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Which one specifically did you use? I see a range from $95 - $500. Reading the specs I don’t see much of a difference between them honestly.

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to cancel my order for the OEM. It is only 1080p clarity as opposed to 4K. Also since you have experience using the product, I’d rather use something road tested and recommend than something from the dealership.

    CT5-V CT-5 BW Noisy Engine

    Got it. Good to know man. I will eventually be doing my own oil changes as I purchase the right equipment to do so (not sure why I’ve waited so long, got lazy after switching from Silverado with 6” suspension lift to coupes/sedans). Until then however I have a shop that I trust to do everything...

    CT5-V CT-5 BW Noisy Engine

    Are you saying that there was insufficient quality oil used when you picked your car up originally, or that they put the wrong oil in after the first free oil change?

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Sweet. Thanks man. I was going to go with the OEM dash cam part # 19540254. Is there a reason you went with VIOFO over the OEM?

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Next question is has anyone bought parts from capitolchevy.com?

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    My car should be arriving any day now, and I want to ensure as much safety/insurance as possible. I saw the thread where the dealership wrecked a dude’s CF splitter and without the video likely wouldn’t have been compensated.

    Dash cam (for us without PDR)

    Hey all, being that my CT5 BW is a come up off of somebody else’s discarded order, it doesn’t have all of the options I’d have selected… close, but not quite. Has anyone purchased/installed an after market GM OME Dashcam?

    Engine Failure

    I have a friend that has been a mechanic for a long time, and builds hot rods. He says that breaking in the engine is one of the most important things. It may be a test of patience, but it reaps rewards or consequences. I’ll take the manual recommendations and advice of experts over Joe Schmo on...

    Engine Failure

    I definitely don’t plan on driving like an idiot. I also don’t plan on taking it on a track until I’m really really comfortable in how it handles. I do live like 20 minutes from sears point raceway. I also intend to take the classes/training at the mountain center. This is going to be my first...

    Engine Failure

    Forsho. There’s lots of YouTube videos of when the tachometer goes from 4000 to 6000 or whatever it is, and the owner just goes full tilt boogey. Meanwhile I’m cringing and face palming as I know exactly what the manual says. Personally, I’m gonna be granny lightfoot until 1500 with an oil...
