What price was it showing earlier??

So long as your garage doesn't open up to a racetrack, you should be just fine in modern cars.

To clarify I think you mean it's not the standard stock PS4s you get off the shelf at Costco or TireRack? Because you can order TPC spec at both last I heard (I regularly order them and keep extras in the garage from Costco.)

Oh, that's more than I guessed. I just looked at the TPC spec Michelins at Costco and they're running around $1,300ish installed ($80 off sale) plus tax.

What do a set of Yokohamas run installed?

There's literally a TPC stamp and code on the tires - different code for front and back given staggered sizes (on the 5BW, I assume 4BW also staggered.)

GM put a lot of effort into incorporating Cup 2 polymer into the bespoke PS4s for the Blackwing only. I'd you're concerned with performance, there's no way I'd go with anything else. If you do go back to OEM, make sure you get the proper TPC spec tires, else your buying standard PS4s (not bad...

There is a BIG scam going on right now where you think you're dealing with the actual salesman but you're not and they end up taking all your credit info AND your deposit and they end up buying a car for themselves at a different dealership (just learned about thus yesterday.) The scammers...

These connectors are the bane of my existence! I've done a lot of brake jobs on my cars and a friend's lately so I'd don't remember this one specifically but I think you depress that little square and pull/push that tab out at the same time for this one. I really wish manufacturers would...

I love my 5BW but I have to admit, I have an E90 M3 sitting around collecting dust and I've seen some tempting LS conversions...

Oh, I've noticed that as well. My guess is it abates brake squeal but I'm not the expert.

Looks like sensor cutouts to me. I've changed so many brakes in the past 6 months I can't remember if the BW had sensors...

Hmmm....I'm waiting Cadillac, I'm waiting.

I suspect the first 250 are more valued to a collector if they weren't driven. I don't think anybody will pay a premium for one with 10s of thousands of miles (like mine).

I'm looking at Advantage and their 4-posts (like others) include sliding jack trays so you can lift the car from regular jack points.

I work from home but I DD the car nonetheless. Have just over 32,000 miles and couldn't be happier. MPG varies as expected with my right foot - no complaints. If I wanted better fuel economy, I'd by an economy car! (Or an EV.)

I too use QuickJacks but have to turn them 90 degrees to run side to side which is an approved and safe use. I do think they would interfere with the sides if you're trying to do something like install CF there. Unlike some, I dream/plan for a FOUR post lift (much easier since it doesn't have...

Easy is relative of course but if you just want to open your wallet, there are great options:

Given there are no places in the Union where rear plates are optional, I'm not sure why these cars wouldn't come ready to mount a rear plate from the factory. Is this normally a PDI item??

New production usually happens after the Summer break (tooling changes take place during that week.) I would expect MY 25 cars to start rolling out the plants until late July if things are typical.
