You can also put the car into service mode by pressing the lock button twice on the fob, then press the top release button. The cars engine needs to be running in order to check the oil level anyways. In regards to the magnetic drain plug, once you know the thread size and pitch you could search for other applications with the same thread that use magnetic drain plugs.
I've had the screen go black before too. Turn off the car open the drivers door for 90 seconds. Then shut the door and start. This reboots all the computers. Must be 90 seconds though.
I do try some. I have some old videos like going thru the Arches Ntl Park, Needles Byway, etc. I have some regular scenic drive vids too. Mostly showing animals we see though. I am reformulating the channel so maybe I will do more drives... ???? THANKS for your thoughts!
NOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! I have been trying to get a Corvette for four years. My dealership says my custom order “might “ come in July of this year. I was really hoping the gremlins would’ve been chased away by now. Are your tips specifically for the Z06 if so please indicate it, As a future C8 owner, I would find that to be valuable information.
The infotainment issue is seen in different ways in all C8s. But it has not been to a very large degree. Just something to document if and when it happens. It’s also been seen as an issue in other GM vehicles. I think other manufacturers have had some issues with the infotainment display too.
If it was a high end PPF shop, they would not cut out the emblem holes on the film but rather remove the emblems to put PPF on whole area, then put emblem on. This is the lazy / cheap way of doing it. Also, The body needs to come apart (bumpers, wing, canards, etc) so that the film can be wrapped around the edges properly, leaving no visible edges anywhere when done. My cars are all PPFed 100% and take a full week each to complete. Car is taken apart and looks stripped. Wish I could post pics. The shop I use is 2.5 hours away from me. There are tons of other BS shops closer to me but the work is day and night difference (and YES, so is the price) Its like finding a good primary care physician or a good lawyer or a mechanic (next to impossible)
What is it with you and displays and cameras. Put your key in the other pocket. See what happens lol. I don’t understand why PPF and ceramic coating are so expensive. $2400 for a new car front clip is crazy.
@@RoadOdyssey you had problems with your display in your stingray didn’t you? I have had mine go blank but came back. Buying ppf is your deal. $2400 for the front clip without paint correction, not claybar is a lot.

Good info 👍
We use Blackstone for our airplane oil samples
Interesting… 👍

Seen that on forums....
Like this format, lots of info/insight presented.
Seems you go on a lot of cruises. Would be nice if you published the cruises so others may join if they are open to anyone.

@@RoadOdyssey actually I meant in advance of the cruise so others could join in.

What is the cost for a seriously good ppl as you describe for just the front clip?
sell me your car thats exactly what I want except maybe for the rear spoiler you have I think I might like the lower profile one a tad better !
High wing does produce "some" drag. LOL. I like them all... I see a lot of low profiles since the wings are harder to get from Chevy. THANKS!

I find that just using the word “Corvette” in a sentence comes with a $500 up charge, That really helps Drives up the cost of ownership
