wait you went from a G8 to a Vette and regretted it?

Vettes are everywhere. G8 was a beast with 4 doors. Especially the GXP.

Congrats on the ultimate sleeper! I pretty much did the opposite when I bought my truck. Sold my 500hp C63 for the 420hp truck. Don't miss the sedan one bit.

5yrs ownership of a G8 and was my favorite car ever!. The SS's are sweet! Feels good to be back in a truck though.

Yup, same here. Funny how many of us have had a G8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agreed. My GT was a blast to drive. (Apologies to the OP - don't mean to hijack this thread.)

Nice G8's. I wish they'd have rebadged it as the Caprice for the general public instead of just the Police. Not a lot of people can afford an SS.

Now that Caprice is the true sleeper. I'd get one of those if I found one cheap.

Yep, I do regret selling my G8 GXP for the Vette. I would still have the G8 as it was almost paid for when I sold it for the Vette. Here is a picture of mine.

I'd buy a GXP M6, if the price was right. Unfortunately for me, they are holding a nice market value.

Congrats on that SS!! There is one in my parking lot at work that I frequently check out. Such an amazing sleeper car. I jumped back into another new WRX and it has been the hardest transition ever, only had the truck 5 months and it was my first truck. I got so used to it in such a short amount of time lol.

Traded my 15 SS auto for a 15 6.2, loved the car just not as practical as the truck

Is that 3 trades in a year now?

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.

      I went from every other day to about once in five since the rain abated. I'm not unhappy about that. Took most of the month for the ditches to dry enough to mow.
