I don’t see what all the fuss is about, does your car have some damage? The service tech was probably just having sex and doing blow in your car and that wouldn’t be picked up on the PDR anyway.

It’s not that usual, my Dynatrac axles on my Jeep use 9/16 lug nuts and torque spec is 150ft*lb. In the case of the BW I would think the torque spec is in relation to high load conditions on the track.

I would not use Aluminum lug nuts for several reasons, but mainly the much lower tensile strength. Use recommended torque spec so you don’t crash into another forum members car when your wheel comes off. McGard and call it a day.

I’m not looking for another car right now. But if I were I might include the IS500 F Sport. I have a soft spot for NA V8s.

When one shifter is just not satisfying enough I drive 3

May not apply MY 25, but my 22 5BW won’t update unless the parking brake is on.

It is never too late my son. Ask for forgiveness, repent, and you will be absolved.

Back in those days there were parts shortages and after manufacture they would be parked in what was known as ice mountain. Some cars were blocked in even after the parts were available. In some cases when it was time to move the car some genius thought it a good idea to use a broom to clear the...

I There was some info posted here a long time ago about how the allocation process works. It’s based on some form of past sales metrics for some combination of different cars. But this is GM’s process and they can do whatever they want in the end. So don’t blame the dealer if they are vague...

GM is the rodeo owner, we are merely contestants that volunteer to participate. The best possible outcome is coming out without having months of appointments with Dr. Zoomie.

IDK, with the windows rolled down something real appears to be happening.
