My 1st car at 16 was a 1969 Camaro RS with the 300hp 350. I was hit by a guy driving in the bike lane at 45mph. With the insurance money, I bought my 2nd car, a 1969 Camaro RS with a really nice 350. This was back in 1989. Its not so much about the car, but the person driving it. My 1st...
I love being in Idaho. Its an OPEN CARRY states and when I got to "negotiate" I just happen to wearing my XD.45 in plain view. Takes all the high pressure sales out of the negotiation.
They tried to get my aunt into a car by asking her "what can you afford". I jumped in and asked how much for...
I just picked up a pair of Sumitomo all seasons from tire rack for $129 in 275/40/19 for the rear. These were to replace a pair of some sumitomos that I had bought from BigO for $500 for the pair. Picked up a nail on the freeway a month later for them to tell me that "These tires" dont have a...
There are emissions test in the Boise area. Its just a sniff and plug plug test every 2 years for older cars. I think its for cars and trucks (Diesel included). Just to tell you how strict they are (or aren't), my 99 F350 Diesel has a CAI and no cat. passed with flying colors. Its allowed to...
Definitely do clear behind the doors in front of the rear tires. These front tires kick up rocks and chip the paint bad. Not sure if this only happens to the cars with the performance pack Pirellis or all tires, but it has happened to those of us with the PP.
I have a 2016 GT/PP/PP and DD the car. The only complaints I have are the stock Pirellis. They have a rating of UTQG: Treadwear 220 Traction AA Temperature A This is a very soft tire. Most magazine shootouts require a tread wear of at least 200. any softer is usually a race type tire. I replaced...
I just picked up a Thinkware H50 dashcam that records even when the car is off. Very discreet and useful. I've already caught a few people walking past looking at my car and laughing at the License plate "NOTYURZ". And the camera was $50 at best buy.
Another option is to carry around a smaller stroller. 1 of them umbrella strollers. I know its nice to have the big stroller to haul all of your own crap around in (Trust me, I know, I'm a father of twins, now there 17) but the umbrella strollers are nice in there own right. As far as the rear...

The rears on mine are 275/40/19 as well. The cables are listed as being for a light truck/suv and are Peerless part#0196555. I ran these on a 16 GT w/performance package with no interference issues at all. It was a bit of a pain in the butt to fit them with the limited clearance, but was...
I know I'm in the states, but I have a 2016 GT performance pack and I have ran cables on it. There is a little bit of a "tail" at the end of where it hooks. I used a piece of wire to secure it out of the way. Ran them just fine for 10 miles on donner summit in California. I'll get you a part...
I have a 2016 GT/PP/PP. I picked up a nail on the inside rear tire on the freeway. Tire just started losing air rapidly while driving. Got it pulled over before it hit 20psi. just sitting it dropped to 4. Pulled out the tire and aired it up. It would only go to about 16psi. Got off the freeway...
I like the idea of the GT350, but 1 real downside I see is depending on the time of year you go, some of the northern states start toe get snow and ice. The GT350 Tires will suck so bad below 40* that you'll wish you had a V6 car. I have a GT PP Performance pack car and the stock Pirellis' are...
I wish I had the problem you guys are having. Last Tuesday I was rear ended by a guy in a mini van. I was stopped at a red light. The car in front of me, the first car, was a Police car. When I was asked what happened, I stated that I saw the light red, then the car in front of me stopped, then...
