I see loads of vehicles with hundreds of thousands of miles on them. A friend as a fleet of Duramax and they all have over 500k miles on the original engine and trans (and he tows skid steers all over northern CA). Every Crown Vic I've been in as a taxi have huge miles. The idea that 100k or...

Stealth is a matte finish PPF.

Look at that!! 3 across race seats, 5 point harnesses...you have a .003% chance of a future F1 driver coming out of that back seat.

@revvhigh Have you considered that the fodder for your anxiety and nightmares is less about the LT4 and more with the financial opportunity costs purchasing a 5BW presents? If the warranty doesn't give you piece of mind, something else is going on. I can't fathom a car keeping me up at night...

Ha, (not in a funny way) I missed that. A lot of those 6,000 words are about postponing life's finer things until a future date and its solid advice for sure. I hedged my bets a little and indulged in all sorts of detours and shenanigans and created some incredible memories and experiences...

Outside of the 500mi change, I follow the OM or the monitor for fluid recommendations and frequency. Grating voice guy is at least providing some sort of data. For me it's not data or some objective measure, doing a one-time low interval oil change is really just something I enjoy as a way to...

Even though you're on my ignore list for getting the auto, I clearly think you made the right choice in vehicle. When I went to Spring Mountain I was in an auto 5BW and it really is a sweet transmission. It's fascinating how it can click off seamless, yet wicked fast shifts at WOT.

My wife knows my tell before I even engage some asshat on the road. I adjust my body on the seat, clear my throat, and then at the mirror check she starts with the Debbie Downer beat down. TBH, I'm 12 on the inside, so I'd be dead or in jail without her....buuuut, yeah, giving plastic-man a...

Do you by chance have an excel spreadsheet detailing the cars you're interested in? I'll do my best to nudge you back towards being an emotional buyer like the rest of us here. ;) Even if you knew the exact historical failure rate, on an individual basis that is nearly irrelevant. It's a...

In a recent thread here someone suggested to change the oil at 500 miles and one response said it was unnecessary and overkill. I've been a 500 mile changer for years and was interested in The Motor Oil Geek video on the topic.

I think the OP has built this up a bit, this isn't an analog single turbo 930 from the '70's. The car is extremely capable of cutting a fast lap in the right hands, it's also extremely capable of being a docile daily and family hauler. You can definitely get into trouble, but don't be a...

The tin-foil lab coat wearing petroleum scientists show up mid-way down page 2 and then its shut down on page 9. Someone will be banned...good times!

Let's get this oil thread up to temp...I think Trump oil is best! Too soon? No I agree the OLI is very good and usually change when it pops up as due (10%?) or 12 month intervals which is typically the case for my BW (not a daily). Just ordered a case of Supercar as a matter of fact.

I've been in the EV world for almost 5 years so I might be ahead of the curve in terms of caring about 0-60 giggles and big HP numbers. I'm all about efficiency with the electrons on board and range. With a 285 mile advertised range, you can count on barely 200 miles in real world driving. The...

Right, that glorious "explosion" at cold start is there regardless of my mode, V mode, whatever mode. I don't daily mine but would probably feel bad if I was leaving for work at 5am everyday. I think the OP is saying that is gone.

Commence with operation decontenting...the end is nigh my friends!

Clearly GM recognizes those that choose a manual are better and more engaged drivers :cool:

I think a majority of cars have sunroofs. CCB and no sunroof should have been my car, but I pussed out on the $9,000 price. No sunroof and M6 though, so got most of it right.

GMA says a lot of things it seems they are not much more than guesses at times. That is not a lot of units to amortize the cost of a refresh, so I think they might have guessed right on this one.

I don't hear a rattle, I hear air flow being disrupted.
