    Nice write up!  
     

    How did you fit with the top up?  

    How was the infotainment system?  I’m liking the new Alexa addon option. I think it dropped after you had this car. 
     

    Did this car have cruise control?

     

    Even with the top up it wasn't uncomfortable.  A bit tight but totally doable.  Helmet would be out of the question but probably not really relevant to this car.

    No Alexa on this one but it had the full iphone interface.  Worked well and was overall super intuitive which is awesome for a full digital system.  My practical side still wants analog knobs for various features (volume, etc) but they have executed it extremely well and it's not at all cumbersome.  Many of the really slick features like the auto compensating climate control would only work with a fully digital interface so it's definitely a huge step forward.

    Yep it had cruise control but I never bothered to use it. 

  2. Glad you got it sorted out.  One simple thing that legitimately helps is Redline Water Wetter.  I run it in everything for a cheap benefit. 

    Coolant should only be at the 'full' mark, not the absolute top of the tank.  It needs room to expand.

    Yes!! Twin Turbo commencing soon. Passed the break in period, all is well. Definitely needs more pump. It's a Z51 but this car needs better gears still. It's not quick. My Huracan will stomp it, no contest.

    There are a couple twin screw supercharger options that will be out very soon.  :ninja:  That car with 750hp to the tires will be a beast and you'll be able to get there for a very reasonable price.  TT will be neat but I wouldn't be in a rush to beta test that level build.

    I am not surprised. It is the right and responsible thing to do. I was planning to go but decided in early January to defer my annual pilgrimage. Then heard Lambo was out. The crazy part is the logistics and costs that so many of these manufacturers have incurred that will go poof. This is particularly hard for small ones, one of whom is my friend. They are scrambling to final an alternative way to introduce their creation. 
     

    ‘’the big question is, will other show, including Car Week be subject to the same decision. We will know in the next month or two—I suspect we will be dealing with COVID19 for most of this year. 

    That was my thought, this ties up a gazillion dollars for involved parties that isn't just recouped.  Anyone who's done any kind of serious industry trade shows knows what a f-ing shakedown it is.  $100k is nothing for small time stuff, and the big guys are no doubt losing 7 figures on this.  GM won't care but for the smaller guys it's a hard pill to swallow.

  5. The 90s Alternative theme continues.  Got tickets to see the Goo Goo Dolls & Lifehouse in Sept.

    Randomly last night we were roped into seeing Incubus for the eleventybillionth time, but that's always a good show.

    And.... Nickelback. :aiwebs_010: :tool:  Yep... going to see them the day before Matchbox 20 at the same venue. :lol2:

    Have to agree with this.  I personally think DMB music is some of the worst noise I've ever fcuking heard in my life.   To my ears it sounds like random notes and cats being strangled.  But with that said, ive been to like 6 or 7 of his shows, only because the party is such a damn good time.  hah

     

    Same with Country concerts.  Not a fan of the music, but the shows are a good time.   The eye candy helps as well. 

    I like older country, some of the new bullshit is just bad pop.  That being said I'll go to damn near any country concert and it's always a good time.  Jason Aldean puts on a great show, Luke Bryan used to be good, kinda losing his energy now. 

    Everyone needs to see George Strait at least once, and you won't be able to comprehend the number of hot women.

    Oh man, that would be a throw back show. Now if DMB was there too it would be quite the ticket! 

    They are playing the same venue two weeks earlier. :icon_thumleft:

    Wife and I usually see a few concerts a year, i've found even if it's not your favorite genre, most live performances are a good time.  From static-x, taylor swift, or the rolling stones, always a great experience.
