What are you doing? Driving through a bunch of school zones?

School zones here are 15 mph... I have used mine at 30-35 on my street, the cops like to hide out and get you because just before my house there is a mile long straight, let's say people don't like doing the 30 mph speed limit, even though there are lots of houses and people need to back out of their driveways.

I actually use my cruise control on this one street that has a 25 mph limit that they double-fine on.

I set it to 27. Some of my other cars wouldn't even allow cruise control that slow, so it's nice to just throw it in 4 and cruise control that street.

I've found that my gas cap can actually fit where the void for the gas door hinge seats (while closed).

The fuel nozzle can still fit through and I dont risk my gas cap falling out to hit the paint.

P.S. Excellent thread OP.

It doesn't work, it will just stop at 24 and not let the "set at" speed go any lower.

If you have an active Onstar account and you are worried about them Joy riding all over while it's being serviced by anyone you can use the Onstar app and keep track of the mileage put on the car after you drop it off.
Just check the mileage when you drop it of then occasionally open and refresh the Onstar app to see if it has any additional miles put on it. ( also good if you loan it to someone or want to keep track of a family member that is using it)

Normally I use it to hold the gas pump lever. Most gas stations around here dont have the clip to hold the lever open.

On the back of the rear view mirror there's a little tab that allows it to get dimmer. Just found out last week.

angrybird, that is a great idea to check the mileage. i love that onstar app on my car too. i see you dont use your camaro name, but you use angrybird on the app. that is cool too. i never changed mine. i like it for checking tire pressures too.

I connect the cellphone in the car's computer system to be able to make calls from the car in blue tooth. Later, when I turn on the googlemap to find the way, I notice that the car has taken over googlemaps voice and brought it over to the car speakers
