Replying to: shayes99 (Jul 01, 2009 4:47 am) Sweet deal! I used my $5k GM Card cash to buy a Saturn Astra for my daughter, but if they send me another $5k offer, that's going for a G8...
#124 of 138 G8 GRRRRR8 / cruise / diagnostic dashboard modes? by elias Jul 02, 2009 (8:11 am)
Cool, and you are most welcome, quiet professional! I'm glad that the cruise control works as suavely on the G8 as it does on GTO...   And nice buy, S "agent 99" Hayes ! You & our favorite NY-Barbarino with the >$3500 GM cards are both heroic. Personally I'm hoping to find a way to use my $2K GM card rebate to buy the used geo-metro from the free-credit-report-dot-com guy, along with the wear-a-pirate-hat-roundup if I'm really lucky.   ps - For some enginerdly and Holden-o-rific ways to sidetrack yourself from watching the road, maybe check out the diagnostic mode of the dashboard by starting the car while holding down the "mode" & "set" buttons. Then you can cycle through the diag info by hitting "set" repeatedly. One of the cool diag modes on GTO shows the true speed: note how the big-digits digital-readout reads ~2% faster than actual speed, as does the analog speedo pointer.
#125 of 138 Still lovin it by whoosierdaddy Jul 06, 2009 (6:48 am)
Replying to: camydog (Jul 01, 2009 3:14 am) My Goodyears are made in Oklahoma (huh?), per the code letters.   After 4 months and 5500 miles still lovin' my G8, although probably a little less if gas prices go way up again.

Replying to: camydog (Jul 01, 2009 3:14 am) Possibly a different version of the owner's manual? I read mine last night, coincidentally, and it mentions the "tap" off feature that will allow resume.   Another coincidence...I was driving my "Sport Red" G8 GT through the WV twisties yesterday. I used my Verizon phone VNav to show me the way to a casino in Charleston and, as has happened before, it led me to the middle of nowhere. No worries (other than for the REALLY strange folks I passed on the street) because I used the OnStar nav to rescue me. It was all good because I wanted to take the road less traveled and this car LOVES it.   Happy ending...I came out a winner at the casino. It was my birthday, after all.

Replying to: quietpro (Jul 06, 2009 1:32 pm) Quietpro, Glad you were in Charleston and not an hour southwest of there. We may never have seen you again!   Happy Birthday.

#131 of 138 GM special event vehicle by jacka1 Aug 10, 2009 (4:50 pm)
What is a "GM special event vehicle." Is there any reason I should avoid buying one?   A dealer has a G8 GT that's a GM special event vehicle for sale.   Thanks. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Aug 19, 2009 10:06 pm) jacka1 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) vinnyny (Aug 22, 2009 4:59 pm)

Replying to: jacka1 (Aug 10, 2009 4:50 pm) "GM special event vehicle" usually means that the vehicle was used by a VIP at a golf tournament, race, or some other event. The cars usually have a few hundred miles and have never been titled. Replies to this message: jacka1 (Aug 22, 2009 12:09 pm) vinnyny (Aug 22, 2009 4:59 pm)
