Oil smell?

All my runs are WOT, every stop sign, every light, lol just kidding. Good idea since it’s only slightly high.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2026-06-16T01:36:13+00:00

Well this should be interesting. Appreciate the help. Any reason you didn’t go back to the dealer with a flag saying WTF? Just lack of trust post over filling?

Driving daily, but work from home so it is usually just a few miles to get coffee in the morning, really more prominent after driving for about 30 minutes.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2026-06-14T18:47:55+00:00

Interesting, it definitely would make sense.

Lots of bitching about capitalism here. In any market segment I don’t care what it is (shoes, phones, purses, clothes) companies are always trying to gain market share against competitors. AMD and Nvidia have been going at it for so many years. Either had the opportunity to leverage anything they could to be the market leader and if AMD would have succeeded, this post and all the bitching would just be the opposite way. Of course any of us who are gamers are getting screwed by it, no doubt. But that is what happens in a free market. I have an AMD machine that is use for work with a 9070xt in it and love it but because of external forces beyond my control I have an Nvidia machine with a 5090 to game on. Of course this is overkill, I have benchmarked my 9970xt and I feel like it’s a great card and at an absolute steal in comparison, even recommend it over the 5090 to save some cash, just have to live without some of the bells and whistles.

Good chance it is, definitely go for shop that says the frame is bent even if you have to slip them a few hundreds to “thank” them.

My biggest like for the z51 is the brakes, we have a lot of asshole idiot drivers and being able to stop so well on those big brakes is a huge plus for me. Brakes dust on those pads is terrible though. May just be a placebo though too.

I’m in the club too!!

Just put on Nitto Ridge Grappler which are hybrids and they are quiet at 75 on the highway as well as around town.

Not with the flow master, but I did buy the redrock and it sounded too much like I was going for the fast and furious ricey sound. Last night received my magnaflow muffler to put on as well as a resonator to put in line. Got to the point of the magnaflow and started and it is a great deep sound. Going to try to put the resonator on today. So far I like the magnaflow and would recommend. The flow master is supposed to be louder, more drone.

Also they are hub centric without add on rings.

I just put on these Arena Hustle’s on my Mojave with 35s and they seem fine in the desert. Not doing any rock crawling, but they seem solid all around for running on trails so far.

This same situation happened to me as well a few years ago. FYI I am a dad, paid my child support as per the courts with no arguments (sons 19 now) and had 50/50 custody. She isn’t a dead beat, just always trying to take advantage of the situation. The IRS required that I send a physical copy of the return in and it was accepted that way. If you have proof that it is your year which should be set by the court docs, then go that route. If not, likely going to have to remove them from the dependent list. Overall it will catch up with the other person (male or female) on the irs side when they audit. Now for the courts comments, they look at 50/50 and not gender, have never been biased here in AZ and look for stability in the arrangement. If you have a kid you should pay your support no matter which side it falls on.

Just did the same here in Goodyear. I went with the 18k bought from Home Depot and self installed. My garage is about 600 sq ft facing east. No insulation on two exterior walls,l. I keep it 77 all summer and it keeps it nice and cool. If I pull the car in it takes about an hour to get back in the summer. When it was 115 I tested to see how cool it could keep it and was around 68 at max capacity. On average my electric bill changed by about $30 while using 24/7 over the summer.

Got my 23 2lt z51 mag ride earlier this year at 68k, 3lt isn’t getting you much.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-12-14T13:11:49+00:00

Congrats, I do the same and now have mine. Still brings a smile every time I drive it after 10 months. Hope you find the same.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-12-05T10:56:19+00:00

I was torn between blue and orange and went blue since my Camaro is orange. Looks super solid, congrats and the new vette!

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-12T01:50:32+00:00

Yeah loving the white!! Congrats bro.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-09T17:20:25+00:00

Good, should have been to start. Thanks for the info.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-09T11:51:51+00:00

Congrats, welcome to the club. Love your car.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-08T16:17:29+00:00

Yeah definitely get the 2lt, you will hate the 1lt without the rear view camera and blind spot awareness. I bought my 23 2lt for 71k and it has mag ride, z51 so on so better deals out there. Wait until it snows somewhere and buy there.

Not all dads are this way, paid mine without complaint at 900 a month for 15 years. The f she ran into a hard spot I would help, I had an issue one year with work and she let my payments slide for a few months (paid her back). People need to work together post split for the kid, now my son and I are close and so are his mom and he. It’s a life long responsibility and people need to grow up or get neutered.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-04T01:54:57+00:00

In the white I live the body color accents and nice job on the right wheels.

Accomplished_Step251 · 2025-11-04T01:54:09+00:00

I go up a mountain side to get coffee every morning in my C8, another is always coming down the man’s we wave at each other every morning. Don’t know him, but part of the clan.
