Nothing like going out for a rip on a good old fashioned booze cruise though.

Lol that really does depict rural Canadian life growing up though. Drive around, drink beer, shoot guns, etc

Max effort NA needs a much narrower LSA.

Will be nice on spray though.

I thought the wider the lsa, the wider the powerband, am I wrong? and even still the torque converter and the gears help with the low end anyways, right?

Question for anyone who owns a newer car. I have a 2013 cruze eco turbo. Now I was told they will update onstar on my maintenance but on my account my records are not there and it says I have to enter them myself. I noticed this because I had a recall fixed a few months back and it appeared on my diagnostics report this month haha.

So whats the point of onstar if I am the one keeping track of everything in the first dam place?

Onstar is gay. I don't subscribe to it on my cruze or silverado.

narrow lsa makes the powerband peakier but narrower. wide lsa has a lower peak but longer powerband.

I had it for the introductory period on my 06' Equinox when I purchased it. Didn't use it one time... although in an emergency I can see how it would help. The minutes for the onboard phone were rediculous though. Had 30mins free with car purchase.

I haven't used it yet I have 100 free minutes but can you not just connect your cellphone and use it?

The main reason I kept it I got the lower package is for the diagnostics reports/records. So if anything goes wrong within warranty I can clearly show them maintenance records without carrying a folder in if they try and screw me haha.

If you have the Bluetooth in your car, yeah.. you can just use yours. Just pair it up and you are good.

Got my first lesson in remodeling a house. It sucks pulling up carpet, especially old carpet! And tearing down a wall was a lot harder than i expected lol seems like dry wall breaks easy when you don't want it to but is harder to break when you are wanting to break it.
