    Will miss the Sonic but...

    I ended up getting a pretty good deal on a Certified Black Granite Metallic 2010 Silverado LT Z71 fully loaded with 18K on it. The 6speed transmission is great in my opinion. I need to get my "man card" stamped for the exemption of ultra-sonic rear parking assist. That is very helpful in a...

    Windshield Wiper Blade Refill

    Yesterday was wiping them down (mud) and noticed the actualy rubber wiper is "stupid easy" to remove from the frame. One endcap (top/inner) holds the blade in and is attached to the rubber wiper. If you press the clip on this end cap it will remove the rubber wiper (slides in out easily)...

    Torque Pro (Android) and ELM327 B/T (BAFX)

    EDIT ADDED INTRO: Created this thread because there really is not a step by step write up on setting this up for our vehicles, and the info is splattered among Ultraguage, MYlink etc threads and this may help some avoid that "fear of the unknown" part of it. [CLICK ANY IMAGE TO ENLARGE]...

    Worst Spill so far?

    whats the worst you've done to your interior? I was picking a bunch of things up at the drivethrough and my buddy decided to order the largest soft drink mcdonalds offers, and no ice. Nearly all of it spilled when the styrofoam cup folded on itself (my guess now is when there is no ice there...

    Spare Tire 101: Whats in the trunk?

    The "resumes" of those Behind the Sonic

    How is the Honda Fit always on top?

    I don't get it, even in this review "the couple" they had said it was way ahead but the male says "based on the exterior we wouldn't own something like this"...than why it is waaaayy ahead? The H on the grill has to be it. Either way the Sonic did make it into the top 4 so that is something...

    6K mile mark: Cam, Cam Sensor, thermostat and more!

    Heres a long one for a Sunday read, I seem to always find that 1 in a million problem with any vehicle I own, except for my Grand Prix GTP CompG which I really wasn't gentle on in any respect and "tweaked" a bit. Maintained it really well like any of my vehicles. Back to the Sonic, Went on my...

    Intake and exhaust setup

    most likely because of the turbo vehicle but.... why not have the motor turned around? Seems ass backwards to me to have all those bends in the exhaust and the manifold come out the front, then have the intake manifold at the warmest part of the engine bay. Would seem to be nearly a header...

    New Shift "Knob"

    Took a little time to figure how to keep the reverse lock out to work properly and I couldn't put the new knobs bottom trim piece on, however not to bad and its long enough to now use the armrest and shift. With that said this isn't the best shifter for sporty driving and might go onto my...

    Door Lock, lock from door.

    Discovered this by accident and thought it was pretty nifty on the designers part. In the event that you want to lock your door and not reach inside and hit the center mounted button or you've already tucked away your keys etc, you can simply use the manual door lock on the drivers side. When...

    GM Febuary Sales

    A bit late but here's some info. I was surprised to see Camaro sales increase, especially since there isn't really anything new to report this year on it. Convertible maybe? Fuel efficiency lead the way and Sonic sold 7900 vehicles. General Motors' Management Discusses February 2012 U.S...

    First oil change!

    First oil change! DIY/Walk-through. With just under 1500 miles on the clock I figured it was time to change out that factory oil and see if anything came with it after engine break-in. Most importantly gets all the engine assembly lube out and anything else that might makes in way into a motor...

    Garmin Nuvi

    With my 04 Grand Prix I shortly after bought a Garmin Nuvi 660 during a Black Friday online event for a price I couldn't say no too. My job required some driving around from time to time at that time and I often would switch to company vehicle so portable GPS was the way to go. I had the stand...
