Wow, thanks for the in depth response! I’ll probably just throw in the flex fuel for purposes of the trip. Living in central Indiana, I always have E close, but understand a lot of people don’t. Might as well use the extra fuel economy for the trip anyways. You pointed out some other places...

Totally understand. I grew up in NW Indiana right by Lake Michigan and my wife’s family is in Cleveland. That lake effect stuff is for the birds. Appreciate the addition, might an easier timed trip to make!

March may not be too bad. Cooler weather but likely out of the really cold days at that point. I’ve never been to PitS either.

Not that it’s your fault, but that is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. Why anyone would live where they do emissions test is beyond me. Anything to control what you do with your own property.

That’s what I wanted to hear! I’ll likely be upgrading my brakes at some point this year. At the very least, new pads. Just got new tires. Long tubes on order, hoping to have installed in a few weeks. Possibly a lowering kit of some sort eventually. Sounds like I’m fairly well setup to not have...

Maybe the question warrants asking then, I never really considered this. I typically sit on sport plus once the car is warm (I have an a10). I assume that should be fine? Not using track to remove TC and end up in a meme somewhere lol.

Fresh contact extreme 02s currently. So shouldn’t be an issue there! Appreciate the insight everyone.

I seek to always see those who think their driving skill is superior in a wreck. Especially now that I’m planning it, it’s my entire feed at times. Thankfully, not really going for speed myself. Just want to get away and see something besides a cornfield or highway.

Dang, from Texas. Now that’s a road trip! I live in central IN, so E85 is plentiful around here. 3-4 stations within 15 minutes or less usually. May be worth throwing in a flex tune to be safe.

Wow, I appreciate the insights! Was fueling ever an issue?

You mentioned you live in the Midwest. Which part? I’m in Indiana and E85 is plentiful around me. I forget sometimes other states don’t have it so readily available. The only minor difficulty that may arise is driving out of town to visit family, but I have stations saved along the way. My fill...

Hey all, planning a trip next summer for the tail of the dragon. We wanted to go this year, but my FIL is having an operation, so pushed back a year. We live in central Indiana. Just looking for tips. Currently my plan is to stop by the NCM in bowling green. Eat lunch. Then head to Robbinsville...

Agree with all of the above. Just pull it off the firewall, it’s not worth preserving anyways. That bilt is kind of a pain to get to sometimes. Cap off the intake hole. Super easy change.

What is considered normal consumption for the 350? My GT is changed every 5000 miles (I’m on E85). Not uncommon to lose 3 quarts between changes. I add about a quart at the halfway point.

Not a GM guy, but credit where credit is due. This back and forth between the two is great for both companies

My subscription for 15 qts every 3 months from Amazon just got pushed back bc they ran out. Found Walmart has it cheaper anyways, and stock

My GT is cheaper on insurance than my ecoboost was. 2 years newer and literally 2-3x the value. A lot of insurance companies don’t actually care what engine it has. I found this out when one quoted me $290 a month for a 2014 v6.

Same in IN. Had a moron in burble tuned BMW try me every week last year for a while. One day there was finally a safe spot without traffic. Piece of junk couldn’t even keep up against a stock a10 for half the price. Embarrassing to pay too much, sound like shit, and lose😂

Going free flow LTH (Texas speed) on my 18 in a few weeks. Found these actuators/kit as a possible option to allow for sound control. Has anyone found these to be useful? Is it a pain to use? My thoughts were to buy 2 (one for driver side, one for passenger) and install where the cats used to...

I keep an excel sheet through Google. All receipts are kept in a “car” folder in my email. Spreadsheet lists date, mileage, description, cost.
