  1. Mine either. We didn't get our free shake. 30K and still doing great.
  2. It won't help the back side of the valves. That part never gets washed with fuel on a DI engine. A water/meth setup might do the trick.
  3. Check your tire balance.
  4. A tank of E85 every so often is great for cleaning your engine. Much more power, but MPG SUCKS. You lose about 28%.
  5. Looks like oil to me. Vapors condensed in the can.
  6. It takes a pressure washer with detergent to get it all off.
  7. Up here they spray a mix of salt and molasses on the roads in the winter. That crap STICKS and is corrosive as hell! ..the fine stones they use aren't too good either. They slide and fly all over the place.
  8. Yeah. We're getting sub-40 degree mornings and the tires aren't good below 40.
  9. ..if only you had posted before I bought my 2014 All Star. 1. Paint- Great shine and almost perfect. A beautiful deep red color that really catches your eye. 2. Recalls- One minor recall...a programming issue. I never noticed it. The dealer told me about the recall and did the update for me. 3. Vibrations- So far the only vibrations I've noticed have been road related, or the bass is up to high on my stereo, causing the rear view mirror to shake with every THUMP! of the excellent entertainment system. 4. Interior- nice to look at and touch, quality is a solid AAA. Quiet, classy, and comfortable. 5. Electrical- Nothing at all. 6. Powertrain- I USE my truck. I've pulled out bushes with it, loaded it to the top, ran it like I stole it, even laid long patches of rubber with traction control off just to see if I could do it. I'd say it's pretty damned solid. Yeah, I'm real sorry I wasted my hard-earned money (even with a $10K discount from MSRP) on an absolutely STUNNING truck. In fact, I dislike my truck so much that when it's finally time to get rid of it, in say ten or twenty years, I'll probably make the same mistake again and buy a GM truck.
  10. What did I do with my musclecar today? I watched some buttnugget throw a soda bottle out the window of his boat-towing pickup truck and have it slam into the nose of my car. I've got it on my dashcam. No damage. I checked, but I'm sending the date/timestamped footage to the MD State Police.
  11. I only OC on my own property or at the shooting club I belong to.
  12. Won't do a thing for the intake valves. The fuel is injected directly into the cylinders, so the valves don't get washed off.
  13. I'll bet she got some looks pulling up in that! Envy all over the place. You probably won the "Cool Dad" prize at camp.
  14. An old "ride" I sold awhile back. 1917A1 watercooled .30 caliber. What a FUN ride! Expensive as hell to run, which is way I sold it. ..it CAN'T be racist...it's black!
  15. NICE XLR. I like the hood on the yellow 'Vette too. and I've always loved the Ferrari 308 body.
  16. I've been eyeing the C7 for some time now, but I can't make up my mind on the options I want. When I do...it's MINE.
  17. Nope! I wrote that place off years ago because of Tran, his little clique and rampant favoritism. I got out of high school decades ago. I don't need all the drama.
  18. Nice! Tran must not hate you yet.
  19. I was in the truck. No damage at all.
  20. Installed a dashcam in my Camaro. I had some clown in a beat out red VW Cabriolet try and cause a crash to become an insurance millionaire. I took lots of pics, and had a nice chat with the State Trooper who stopped. Fortunately, a cop was on hand, and my ins co told him to go to hell. If there's a next time, I'll have video.
  21. Rewind is cool if you hear a favorite song and want to hear it again, or if you missed something on a news channel, then you can rewind a bit and catch it.
  22. Hell, My '02 Silverado did the same thing when there was tension against the key from the wheel. No big deal. Locks don't release when there's a load on them. It binds the tumblers.
