I'm in Nebraska and I use winter tires. I'd say most people around here don't.

Finally got my car back after 7+ months of repairs...

7 MONTHS of repairs? What the heck happened to it?

I seem to remember the brake pedal being a royal pain in the ass to get over the back plate when I did it on my 17. Going to do it on the new car soon. How did you get it on?

Get some soap and put inside the lip. I put the side on closer to accelerator pedal first and worked it around. I used some plastic interior tools to help. It was a pain

Well, it could be anything, given the pandemic production issues.

I know someone with a C7 GS that's still sitting at the dealer for something pretty minor in the exhaust, and it has been sitting for half a year or so now.

Unfortunately not as minor. Cars driver side door was bent backwards while it was being serviced at the dealership causing lots of damage to the door, front fender and other things. It's been a nightmare trying to get the car back to where it was before it was brought in for a routine oil change.

Looks great, you need to swap out those red reflectors for some smoked ones to compliment your smoked taillights...

Oh right, I remember now.

Glad you got that sorted out. That was quite a mess and a display of incompetency on the dealer's part.

Are you the guy whose front door was left open and backed into the lift post at the dealership? Man, if you're the one, this was one hell of a wait, glad to see your car is finally back. Love the color of your outer exhaust tips, I see you're using your ride as intended

Yup, I have some of them already. Got them shortly before before the accident and haven't had a chance to install them. Will be doing it when I get the car on a lift to install the exhaust.

That'd be me... Going be pulling the NPP exhaust, hopefully next weekend, to install the AWE Track Catback. Have link pipes and the diamond black tips all set and ready to go.

Yeah... The repairs are better than they were when they first gave me back the car. Still looking it over for anything that might have been missed, but at the moment, I think its as close as its going to to get to be how it was when I dropped it off for service that day.

Yep, just made a service appointment. I made one a while ago and funnily, the service department wrote it down as an oil change. Didn't realize it until a few days before my appointment but it all worked out.

It took about an hour, if that, in my experience.

And nope, my car still pops quite a bit when I get off the throttle in gear at high RPM.
