    Took my car in for radiator guards and left with a ripped seat

    Looks like they forgot to put the foam back on before re-skinning the seats. No bueno. Looks awful. Hope the sun and heat do the trick, but I would be very surprised if that worked. Ai suggest taking it to an auto upholstery shop for second opinion.

    There is only 1 correct answer to the OPs title. And that is….. “Move out from BC.”

    You do NOT need a lift. Took me an hour to install all 4 pieces. Ziptie versiom. Easy peasy. Without a lift. The version shown above only gives you 2 pieces, so even easier. You are also leaving 2 FRONT grill openings unprotected!

    What did I damage?

    The photo above clearly shows pad material stuck to rotor. Surprised the C8 pads are so wimpy and shatter. They do not look bad enough to have needed replacing, so someone got hosed $$$, GM or the owner. Hope that GM chiseled the pad material off your rotors or honed them. lesson learned...

    2024 Stingray dealer cost

    Well, I am calling you out on your statement calling “crap”. Either you can’t count (I already explained to you how), were never in the business (very likely, based on your comments), only sold used, or you REALLY do not want the consumer mark to know how much profit they are paying. Which is...

    Not trying to talk down to anyone, just trying to make you aware, so you can save good money. And stop the fake info spreading about how little profit is in these cars. Yes, I present it as brutal facts, and it may be too shocking for some. As such, paging Moderator, please remove all my posts...

    You think JD Power is going to let the cat out of the bag? Guess who pays their lunch? That is why the only people you will hear the truth from are automotive company ex-execs. On quiet boards like this, trying to help fellow would-be owners. You are welcome! ;) If you can Math well, crunch...

    “Having been” = “Used to be in the past”, but Not with GM. I paid sticker, and got some goodies. And I did not have to wait. Decision to car in driveway in 2 months or so. They scalped me big-time, right? How did u make out? And YES, I paid well under sticker, double digits, on all my other...

    2024 Stingray dealer cost

    Somehow my post got deleted, so I am reposting again. Having been in the business, I chuckle at those who do not understand the NET dealer profit after year-end kickbacks And other volume incentives. The fake dealer invoices are priceless. LOL! You will never see the real invoice unless you are...

    Poll Our 1st Cacti C8

    Life is too short to drive a car the color of pavement. That includes every single shade of pavement (er, I mean gray, silver, moon dust or whatever u want to call it, just so you can say it is somehow special.) or primer. The fact is that most people in cold climates are afraid of Lambo...

    #MtlC8 - Custom Build - Viewing & Meet

    “The clear engine cover was heat tested to 800 degrees,…” How is that possible? F or C? Actually neither matters. Polycarbonate has a much lower melting point. So does all other plastic that I am aware of. So you are saying, even though you omitted it, that it is glass?

    Hmmm..

    Guys, maybe you did notice the DATE on my fake press release. Those who did, got the joke. It was meant as a joke. Sorry it was not received that way. I thought that due to its outrageous text, that it would have been obvious. Appologies.
