    https://www.advisor.ca/tax/feds-drop-underused-housing-tax-and-luxury-tax-on-aircraft-boats/ It says “boats, aircraft”, not sure if tax on cars is also going away.

    C8 Rim and Tire Advice for Winter Driving

    I bought a used set of base wheels in perfect condition for something like $600 and mounted Michelin Pilot PA4s which I bought from a local tire shop. Works very well. Way, way more traction in the winter than the PS4s (PS4s are outright dangerous when cold+wet).

    Essential Care Maintenance Coverage

    Please don’t delete the thread and post back how it goes with the dealer. I am interested in the maintenance plan but only if it does cover the filter and fluids.

    Dealer says my "free" DCT filter change is not free

    Anyone has a copy of the home office letter that says it is 3 years now? I only have the old one which says it is 2 years.

    Anyone doing HPDE on a race track?

    Update in case anyone else is interested: I did the track prep at the dealership (Willson Niblett). I had to supply my own high-perf brake fluid. They knew how to do the track alignment and I went with the less aggressive settings for now (-2 deg camber) which also did not require moving the...

    Anyone doing HPDE on a race track?

    That's one other thing I can't find. Who is selling track day insurance?

    Anyone doing HPDE on a race track?

    @GM MUSL great info, thanks. Do you keep track alignment on the street or switch before/after each track day? I am thinking of starting with street specs and switch to track alignment if I see the need. One thing I am worried about is that I felt very comfortable pushing at Spring Mountain...

    Did GM stop the Speed Model?

    I got my C8 13 months ago. I emailed GM and asked when am I going to receive the welcome gift and they replied that I have been added to the welcome gift list. No idea why I wasn’t on the list before.

    Anyone doing HPDE on a race track?

    I am thinking about going to a HPDE this summer. This would be my first time ever in my car (I did the Spring Mountain class last year and loved it). Does anybody have good recommendations about: - Where to track prep the Z51 and how much to expect to pay for it. I saw someone mentioned...

    DCT transmission Fluid and filter replacement

    @LeDon I already have the 7 year "Total Plus" GM Vehicle Protection Plan (aka extended warranty). Is it possible to add GM Essential Care Maintenance plan on top of that?

    Issues with the cabin controls.

    There is no need to hold the parking brake button. Push it and release. It takes a second or so for electronic parking brake to fully set and you should hear an audible noise while it is happening. After the parking brake is set you can release the brake pedal and the car should not move. If it...

    Some good news on the recall.

    Now you all got me worried. My 2023 is going to the dealer for oil change next week. Can the dealer hold on to the car if there is an unsolved recall? That cannot be true, right?

    Mag Ride vs. No Mag Ride

    Thanks for the links @slegros, very interesting. I quickly glanced at the papers and the simulation equations use a single dimension x representing the vertical axis. I am curious if you have any links to the actual algorithms used by the magride control unit, how it uses other sensor inputs...
