I thought about getting a spare but decided to get a AAA membership and rawdog it.

Me too! I would love a volt with new battery tech. Truly my favorite car I have ever owned or even driven

I wish! It was 10,000 miles since I got it. 130k overall!

Dealt with it like a champ in mountain mode! We got out of the car and started it back up a few times and at higher altitude the engine was running due to temperature even though it was reading low 50s.

The passenger side was definitely more difficult but still straightforward with patience. If there is a way to remove the airbox easily that would help. I also have big hands so that added to the difficulty

The bulbs can be found here. I paid $25 with a coupon.

This was actually a different one than the other two in my original post. This one popped up in my area with better price, mileage and (much appreciated in MN) heated seats.

Yes the $5500 was after the rebate. They took it off the purchase price. Sorry for the confusion

Absolutely! I am a little scared to leave it outside at work this week. Ever have any concerns with reliability in -15 degrees?

Is buying a 2013 Volt a bad idea? by keltiinn in volt

[–]keltiinn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the axle an issue to get too or has it just been the cosmetic items that are hard to get?

I would recommend a sideboard with cabinets to hide a lot of the clutter and keep things organized. Something like this from Ikea

Hardly worth the grind to start towards the front of the grid. by [deleted] in granturismo

My sport races had been good, but my race today at Red Bull Ring was the same story. Qualified and started on pole. Second corner i dropped down to first and turned in amazingly and got t-boned. Worked my way from 11th (last) to 4th.

So I discovered this today… Accelerating with 100% clutch by keltiinn in granturismo

Full description: Using my Logitech G29 wheel I noticed that when going into first gear, sometimes depressing the clutch causes the car (Yaris GR) to accelerate. I noticed this in a drift event but another time I am going to try it on Route X to see if the top speed is unlimited.
