    CT5-V Finally: CT5-V Blackwing Reproduction Spoilers

    Would something like this make it easier to attach the outer studs? https://tite-reach.com/products/tite-reach-extension-wrench-combo-pack

    Any other Ham Radio operators also BW owners here? Just curious.

    Not since high school. I still cuss out at some bad drivers in Morse code though.

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    If you buy it out of state (of CA) the dealer can do the work to register it in CA in which case you will not have to have it smog checked until at least 6 years later (by which time, the smog monitors should all be initialized). The dealer I ordered mine from in AZ registered it in AZ...

    OTAU Wishlist

    Seems most valets are actually teen drivers.:D Valet mode should probably be based on teen driver mode plus additional restrictions.

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    My car was ordered with the CA emissions option(YF5/NC7) from a dealer in Phoenix (based on my home address in CA). I did not choose "courtesy delivery" to my local dealer which would have avoided reregistering but I avoided my local dealer for a reason. I picked it up in AZ and drove it back...

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    My situation was with the CT5VBW and I've heard the Corvettes have the same issue but maybe the 4 is different. Here's the information that applied to me: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10171875-9999.pdf I had over 800 miles on the car and it still wasn't ready (500 miles driving...

    Out of state purchase, California registration

    You will have to have a smog check done to register it and you find out when they plug in their equipment. Even an AutoZone, eg with an OBD II tester should be able to determine if the smog system (O2 monitor) is “ready”. I haven’t heard if there has been any improvement in the smog readiness...

    CT5-V Blackwing Shipping

    I’ve started my 1st gen that way with a dead battery but I’m wondering if electronic parking brake would prevent that by not releasing when the battery is dead.:unsure:

    There are a few small pieces of carbon fiber in there. ;)

    What Don't I Know About Bronze Wheels?

    The wheels aren't too bad cleaning. Getting to the calipers to clean those is a lot more difficult though than the black wheel.

    What does OnStar get us, exactly?

    Mine was up for renewal recently too. I called the toll free number to ask a few questions and the person I talked to extended my free period by 3 more months while I "decide" after which it will go to the essentials plan unless I cancel in July. I let the data expire without renewing since I...

    What Don't I Know About Bronze Wheels?

    My order was one of first pre orders and there was no way to see what the bronze calipers would look like with the bronze wheels that I changed to when they became available (on infrared body). Rather than risk almost matching I went with totally contrasting to red calipers.

    Spring Mountain

    Maybe I got lucky but I only paid the $250 for the deductible buy down and had 1 guest. This was in Dec 2021 when I booked and the class was the first week of March.

    Spring Mountain

    You can bring non driving guest(s) for no extra charge. They will stay in the same condo room with you (no pets). There is a spa but I don’t recall if it’s open currently. The guests can ride with the instructors to the exercises to watch or go to the tower to watch the on track portions...

    Spring Mountain

    This is the configuration they used the time I went. A couple sections on your lap look familiar but missing the portion where the car gets airborne.

    2022 Long Beach Grand Prix

    I emailed a few months ago to see if there would be a Cadillac corral since parking is ridiculously easy when they do and super close to the grandstand but for the second year in a row they are not doing a hospitality tent at Long Beach. I’ve never seen any perks outside of the corral and...

    Spring Mountain

    Everybody in the class I was in were matched to what they owned model/trans although one guy was moved to an automatic when the clutch apparently failed on their assigned car during one of the track sessions.
