My Bolt came with those goofy round blind spot mirrors stuck on by the previous owner. I do not use them and think they look ugly so I want to remove them. Thing is, how likely am I to break the mirror glass trying to remove them? Has anyone removed these successfully without damaging the...

Personally we go to Costco once a month for a decent sized haul, then fill in the gaps throughout the month with Walmart and Target. Occasionally I'll go to Safeway for a few things they have that the others don't. I think I want to try Trader Joes more often moving forward as everyone always...

Excluding those of you that work at/own a shop/dealer, how did you find/pick your mechanic? When it comes time to do work on the vehicle you can't do in your garage/driveway/the parking lot of the nearest auto parts store, or don't have the time/resources/tool/energy/interest to do yourself...

As everyone who cares probably knows, I traded in my Chevy Volt on a used Chevy Bolt a few months ago. So far, I absolutely love the Bolt. Just thought I'd make a quick review of the car. Range/Efficiency I charge my car to 90%. I'd actually prefer to charge to 80% but earlier Bolts like mine...

Instead of just “thanks for contacting customer service. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours” it’s “hi friend, your request is being reviewed by our member success team.” Like who makes up this word vomit? I’ve noticed this trend the past few years. More and more companies are writing like...

Looking at the basic maintenance schedule for my 2017 Bolt, this strange thing stands out. Every 7500 miles I am supposed to “inspect accelerator pedal, replace if necessary.” What does that mean? What am I inspecting? I know it works fine because the car drives. Thanks for any input on this...

THIS is the car I'd buy for my mom if I won the lottery. GM Ultium platform so it should have a heat pump and despite the issues ramping production and software issues on Blazer EV but parts availability won't be a problem anytime soon if you plan to keep it long term. My biggest issue with the...

There are two camps in the EV world from what I can tell... the ones that thing range matters most and the ones that think range doesn't really matter as long as charging is fast, reliable, and available. I think both have their pros and cons and the ideal balance is likely somewhere in the...

On my Bolt, as with most modern GMs, unlocking the car turns on the headlights, even during the daytime. Then, when you start the car, the headlights turn off. Then, if it’s dark, they turn back on. With previous vehicles I haven’t worried about this as I have always done LED conversions but...

Issue 1: TurboTax I've always used TurboTax and I got my W2 today so I tried it and I ran into an issue. When I go to the Clean Vehicle thing and select pre-owned it only shows model years 2017-2024. That doesn't make any sense. Used has to be at least two years old. And according to...

Traded in the Volt on this Bolt! It’s not as smooth as the Volt when it comes to rough roads but it is better in every other way. Except for not having an auto-dimming rear view mirror! Lame!

I recently started looking at Bolts and found out something absolutely insane... on 2017 and 2018 Bolts, CCS/DC fast charging was an $750 option. In 2019 CCS became included. What I think is ridiculous is why GM would even bother building this car without CCS and also why anyone would have...

Anything in particular to look out for on V6 GMT900 Chevy trucks? Not super common as I understand but there's a RCSB nearby that has piqued my interest. It's a basic 2WD Work Truck but from the pictures online it's very clean and has brand new tires. I suspect it's about as good as I'll get for...

On my Volt, AC is fairly efficient, but the heater tanks my range/efficiency. It uses 3-6Kw constantly to the extent that if I'm going to use the heater I may as well run the gas engine because at my electricity prices it's cheaper to put gas in than "waste" the battery power for the heater...

https://rammount.com/products/ram-vb-152-sw1 In good used condition. Some signs of wear but it works great. Includes the low profile style laptop grips meant for smaller laptops but it allows the laptop to close (depending on design of laptop of course). I don't have the original/large grips...

Hoping to find someone on here who would find these items useful. 1. OTC 5606 Compression Tester Kit - used two times, good condition. Retails new for $85 on Amazon. 2. Innova 3380 Inspection Camera - used once, good condition. Retails new for $115 at O'Reilly. Asking $150 with free shipping...

I purchased this for $400 as it has some sort of coupon: https://amzn.to/3twz4Q1 I hope it can do what I want. On the Volt there is a setting that if you press down on the unlock button on the key fob it rolls down all the windows. I HATE this feature as many people online report coming back to...

My mother has had this car since like, 2000 I want to say? When we got it from a family friend who got it new. About 5 years ago, it got a timing belt kit done by a shop as it was above my comfort level. Tires were replaced at that point too with some generic chinese ones. They need air added...

I'm just curious. Pretty much any mainstream car brand offers multiple free colors and some premium ones as well. So why does Tesla charge $1K for white? It's sad that's no longer the default color as white cars are the best IMO and what I would buy if I was buying one.

Currently I use a free chair I found on the side of the road but it gets uncomfortable within a few hours and I end up grabbing my laptop and sitting on my bed. What computer/desk/office chairs are y'all using? I'd like a balance of comfort, longevity, and value. Thanks!
