    Hell yeah man! Great car for you and the family. See you in the dunes next month!
  5. I'm learning all that stuff and more each time I drive it and charge it. I thought I set it for the higher 12amp charge but it defaults to the 8amp every time I plug it in. Tonight was another new one- Left my house at 9pm and it said 34 miles available. While driving, mostly downhill, at 75-80mph the miles climbed to 38. I hit a drive-thru and got to work and it was down to 34 miles available. So my drive to work basically cost me nothing, and now it's charging outside my office. My daughter absolutely loves the car man! She took her laptop out there and sat in it for an hour going over stuff on the internet so she can learn more about it. She wanted to get a few things for it- phone mount, trash can, etc. and I told her to go on Amazon and get whatever she wanted for the car to make it 'hers'. I really appreciate the deal, taking it to the dealer for an inspection and how upfront you were about the little things it needs. We'll catch up this weekend at the show.
  6. All of that is accurate. But they left out people sh!tting on the sidewalk, trash cans constantly flipped over by food treasure hunters, garbage everywhere...
  7. Yes you did and I'm sure the battery is original. I can't 'TJ' this car and rip it apart and replace errythang though. It is what it is. I've never owned an EV, never had one on my radar and did zero research on them until Tony offered it up. The charger cord that came with it will do 120v/240v via a NEMA6-20 plug (it has a NEMA5-15 adapter for 120v now) so just need to get that socket wired up at the house. A few articles claimed 4 hour charging on 240v power. I'll check out the free charging station in the off-site parking structure at work, which is a 10 minute walk from my office each way. Not bad, but it's Boyle Heights in East LA and not a place for a guy like me to be on the streets at 9:30 pm and again at 5:30 am. The things I'll do to live green and save the planet...
  8. Need to do some research on a 'better' charging cord of there is such a thing. Regardless I need a spare cord to leave at home and one to keep in the car. At 5:45 am the Volt was at full charge. I unplugged and headed home. My drive is 15 miles and mostly uphill, doing around 70mph. This is what I had when I got home. Not complaining about the car whatsoever. I really like it, just want to maximize the benefits of owning it.
  9. Well, second day with this Volt and still trying to figure it out. It runs and drives fine but it's the little stuff like the Bluetooth not synching unless I go into settings and pair my device (annoying AF) every time and the battery takes FOREVER to charge on 110v. I plugged it in last night at work to the only 110v plug nearest my office at around 1 am. By 5:45 am it said it was charged enough for me to drive 18 miles. Perfect I'm 15 miles one way, but it's mostly uphill. I was about 3 miles from home when it switched to the gas engine which was fine. Plugged it in to a regular 110v source at my house at 6 am and checked it at 2pm and it said 20 miles of driving on the battery, full charge at 10:15 pm. Huh? 6 am to 10 pm was 16 hours for a full charge? Can't be correct. My daughter found a reason to drive it so we went to the grocery store and were back home within an hour. I plugged it back in as soon as we parked and at 9:15 pm I unplugged it to go to work. The car said it had 28 miles of battery availability. Good enough for me. While driving, mostly downhill the battery climbed to 31 miles of driving. OK. Got to work and it had dropped back down to 27 miles of driving. Odd, I just drove 15 miles. I plugged it into the same 110v at work and will let it sit until 5:45 am tomorrow when I'm ready to head home. I already put a call in to my electrical buddy about pulling a 220v source out to the RV parking specifically for the Volt. I already have 50amp RV service but it's on the opposite side and 50' away. While he's there I'll have him look at adding a generator plug for my house for all these dumb azz CA power outages.
  10. Really like the cup holders. Makes having a wing cool again.
  11. Thanks man. Now she finds any excuse to need to go somewhere and drive it. Problem is she only has her permit so I have to go too. She HATED driving my 3500HD Duramax crew cab long bed but it's that or her brothers 06 Duramax crew cab long bed with a 6" lift and 35's. My son and I went to Joe Rogan at the Forum Saturday night and took the Volt. It does 30-40 miles on a full charge but AC on high and crap traffic changes that because it's only 20ish miles and on our way home it switched to the gas engine. So we figured a little testing was in order and flat pedaled it up the 2 frwy through Glendale. Got it up to 88mph and then a warning message popped up saying "Propulsion Power is Reduced" and we dropped down to 75mph. Thought we broke it but my son and daughter went to their grandma's in Altadena today and the car drove fine on a full electric charge. I drove it to work tonight, which I will be doing every night cause she doesn't need it from 9pm to 6am, and I was told we have free electric vehicle charging stations here at the hospital. Little did I know the charging stations are in a parking structure not close to the power plant I work in and the structure is on the corner of Rape Ave and Murder St. I'll just buy an extension cord and charge it near my office.
  12. The search is over! Thank you @URCLEVER this is a great first car for my daughter. She loves it!
  13. Reminds me, Travis never paid me for that job!
  14. That's what I'm trying to avoid! Glamis is for drinking, duning and chilin.

  16. Looking for a reliable car for my 15 yr old who just got her permit. Grandma's Honda she ain't driving anymore, Aunt's Toyota she bought new in 2007 and it's been sitting for a few years, wife's car about to get traded in cause you're awesome and are getting her something newer... I'm looking. Trying to stay around $5000, cause let's face it, she's gonna crash, but it won't be her fault cuz that other car came out of nowhere and slammed on their brakes and I didn't see it and Becky was talking soooo loud and Jennifer was playing Tic Tocs on her phone and we were laughing really hard... you get the idea. We live 2 blocks from her high school so it's not getting driven much. Super bonus if it's an E85 car cause I like those. So, hit me with a deal I can't pass up. Almost bought her a 04 BMW 535i that was posted here on GD but couldn't make the deal happen. Prefer to give my cash to a board member or friend of a friend of a board member.
  17. I have a drum for you from the race team. Had F&L race gas in it. I'll hit you up when I go to PCI in the next couple weeks.
  18. I have that same pump/meter but on a stainless drum. Works great and the meter is really nice to know the drum level.
  19. The dyno shop doesn't have a set? I have my 37" dirt tires/wheels you can borrow, but don't see where you're located.
