C8 mud flaps good idea
18000km, stock 2020, PPF rockers and rear sections, drive everywhere ( 1 or 2 gravel roads done carefully) no stone chips. -
XPEL...
The new OpenAI ChatGPT works on the question based platform. Plug in a decent question and it will spit out a well written response. ( I’m sure lots of kids have been leveraging it for papers) I just put in the question “ What are the advantages of putting clear protective film on a car” it... -
2024 Price Increase
That’s exactly why I walked away from Porsche and ended up with the C8! I am so happy Porsche were being jerks!! -
Ticket for no front license plate?
Wow! That really sucks. I have not had any interaction like that. -
Ticket for no front license plate?
30 years ago I got advice from a Peel region officer friend of mine on how to interact when stopped. He told me that they are lied to and told silly stories all day long, or people argue everything. He told me the best strategy is to just be polite, upfront, open and truthful. I have used that... -
Ticket for no front license plate?
I’ve been “front plate free” on all my cars since moving to Ontario in 1993, Approx24 cars in all. Been stopped 5 times but only once I got the 110$ fine. I just tell the officer that I hate the look of a front plate but happy to get the ticket in exchange for my decision, and see what happens. -
Need advice and ?

All Season Tire Temperature limits

But since I did opt for the NPP, the additional cost for the Z51 would have been minimal, and I now want to lower it a bit and I’ll need... -
New Chevrolet meets the old Chevrolet
It’s great to see a similar garage, I have Porsche and open wheel racing posters up, and my top bunk car was the first non-200$ car I bought, 27 years ago.. -
Major used C8 price drop
Also, the prices have increased since 2019. I built an equivalent 2023 on the website and works out to be approx. 8-10k more than I paid. ( including dealer gouging at delivery). I have a simple 1LT HTC. -
Major used C8 price drop
I wonder if they would ship the car to another market? There seems to be ridiculous markups in Europe. But it could south and potentially still profitabl -
Seeing as this forum is for owners in Canada have others experienced some of this on delivery..........?
2000 freight, 599 dealer admin/doc fee, 399 etching. i got the EPP from another dealer for cost +500$ = 2400$. I knew I was being taken, but they would not budge. Ottawa sucks for buying cars… and other stuff.. -

Great news
I watched it be unloaded off the transport truck, unwrapped the plastic myself and drove it for the PDI with the tech ( a friend of a friend). They never drove it. -
All Season Tire Temperature limits
The PS4 all seasons are remarkably good near or below freezing. I clocked my best 0-60 of 2.8 (indicated) on a 1 degree November day in 2021. It snowed an hour later.
