I keep hardcopies in a folder, but Mrs updates a quick spreadsheet with the "what, when and how much." The spreadsheet is quicker to search when you want to look up something. We have three cars, two of which are over 10 yrs old, so this helps keep things straight.
Here's a link the the class action suit against GM sharing their information to Lexis Nexis Risk Mgt who then shares it with insurance companies.

I read an article that Ford and others...
If this is your first V8, your biggest concern should be avoiding being a YouTube star for not being able to handle the power. There's plenty of power (and fun). Test it incrementally, and on dry pavement.
Maybe don't pack it away. I live in NoVA. Winters here have been pretty mild. I drive my convertible daily throughout the year, but I have all-season tires. They say there might be some snow this year, in which case you might want to stay off the roads while they're salting and brining.
maybe the opposite? I see way too many people driving around in the dark with their lights off and don't know it. I'll try to signal to them by turning my lights off and on (not flash). The fact that dashes are continually lit and most cars have some sort of day-time headlight keeps people...
No regrets. I've had convertibles most of my life as daily drivers. When it's hot I blast the A/C and vented seats. When it's cold I blast the heat and turn on the heated seats. My MGB didn't have either, so I suffered for the 20 yrs I drove that. Windows stay DOWN.
I guess it depends on...
As a former 17 yr old, keep the car stock. There's already enough power and performance for anything you need to do. Plus, you need to develop some experience and judgement and survive the next couple of years. (I totaled a '69 442 at age 17, so I speak from experience.)
Also, try to do some...
The Saris rack fits most cars and easily clears spoilers and such. The bad part is the rack depends on resting the weight on the bumper or some other flat spot, so you will eventually scratch that surface. That's why I installed a hitch.

My GT convertible is a daily driver. Mostly cruising with a few "jack rabbit starts". No racing. No track. Stock 18" wheels.
My OEM all-season Pirellis made it almost 30K. They were loud and not very good in the wet. I replaced them with Goodyear Eagle Sports. Much better in the wet and...
I use android auto a lot with google maps. I've had issues trying to find the local store if my location settings on my phone are turned are off. The phone needs to be connected to the car via cable.
I have had good success with pushing the prompt button on the wheel (the button on the upper...
I want to get out that way. At the risk of highjacking this thread, I'm interested in comments on Route 50 in that area. I'm in Virginia. I've been tempted to drive the length of 50 across the country. I've done some snooping on Google street view through portions of eastern and central CO...
none of these AI-generated cars show a driver! have the AI assumed they've taken over entirely and these are all autonomous vehicles?!
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
I've driven my 2019 GT convertible across country twice. No one NEEDs a V8, but you'll love the sound. I have the standard exhaust and love the sound (I think the active exhaust would have been too much for me). Gas mileage will take a HUGE hit if you drive 80 mph with the top down. I drove...
