That looks like a major job! I think if that were my car and I was a bit paranoid, I'd be concerned about two things: - 1.) Finding little yellow spots where there shouldn't be little yellow spots - 2.) If the paint on the areas rubbed down didn't adhere properly, what about all the other...

120 or so, on the German Autobahn, of course.

Hotspots usually appear due to uneven cooling of the rotors. It's tricky to avoid, but if you can shift to N or P after a hard stop from high speed without the brakes engaged, this can help. Worst case is a high speed stop followed by sitting hard on the brake pedal.

In the UK, we call them the ?wings?.

Dealer will need to unbolt the front door and re-align properly.

30.5mpg average here out of town. Considering the performance, I'm very happy with that.

Hmmm. Many parts will be resuable, but the front body & suspension damage, side sill damage plus that rear quarter section adds up to a very expensive repair.

... ?from around the world? ... ... ?Hayling Island ?? [rofl] Congratulations ... I would have gone for a red interior too, but it would have meant waiting months.

I?m getting 30mpg+ on a 75 mile trip if I use engine braking, with a mix of speeds out of town.

I?ve got a boat to keep clean as well. I can?t spend too much of my free time washing a car, although I do like to see it looking reasonably smart.

I?ll wait maybe 40-60 seconds on the driveway before driving off. Where I am, it?s all 30mph or 40mph for the first 6 miles until I cross the bridge and get off the Island to a big road, so I don?t have much choice other than a good warm up / cool down routine each time.

Hitting your car with small rocks is always going to hurt. My previous GM car looked like an angry farmer had attacked it with a shotgun when I traded it in.

Spring and damper settings are different here in the UK. So far, I would say that it is a good match to our roads. Too stiff, and you end up bouncing off into the trees ...

My guess would be that it?s engine oil temperature, same as my previous car. It?s not entirely redundant, because coolant temperature comes up pretty quickly on a cold start. Oil temperature lags behind a bit, and I usually refrain from using all the power until the oil temperature has reached...

Hmm, I see "Oil Temperature" / "Torque" / "Boost" ... but isn't that the engine oil temperature?

I like that. It?s not too massive, but makes it look a little different.

Absolute no, well, maybe in 7 or 8 years time...

Ok, so this explains how someone accidentally failed to engage launch control and ended up doing a drag-strip style burnout at the lights without really meaning to ... [burnout] I?m guessing that transmission oil temperature is the issue here. Maybe a couple of seconds at a slightly higher rpm...
