Yes, personal insults are always the answer when confronted about your opinions. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I have been driving vehicles in cold weather for over thirty years. If you disagree, that's fine.

Yes. I mentioned previously, a different dealer used to do a demo where in temperatures below about 15ºF they could push a 911 parked in their lot sideways with little trouble because the summer tires were that useless in the cold.

Not at all true, but I won't argue it with you. Drive on summer tires in the cold if you like, enjoy the body shop. 🤷‍♂️

Dry, no black ice. In cold temperatures, summer rubber is so hard it has near zero lateral grip.

I don't have a VIN yet and it's been over a week (of course Thanksgiving is in there.)

Great story from my local Porsche dealer: Had a customer who insisted on picking up his new 911 with summer tires at night when it came in in January. The roads were clean with no snow, and he said he knew all about summer tires and would be careful. The sales manager watched him pull out...

It's not that they crack so much as they become hockey pucks with zero traction below 40°F.

It's not so much the "phone" per se but rather the charging coil in the charger and the one in the phone need to be precisely aligned, which is why Apple came up with MagSafe and why the same technology is now part of the Qi2 standard. Ford was likely sick of the complaints they got when the...

Correct. The lighted sills and HomeLink are gone from the 401A. In addition the anti-theft package with locking lug nuts and locking center console is an additional $500. The lighted sills (and HomeLink) are not even available as dealer-installed options, which makes me suspect adding them...

How are people opening their garage doors without an opener? I'm going to have to keep my Genie remote in my car just like I've had to for decades. :crying:

1) Warranty 2) Warranty :clap: 3) Car wireless charging pads are garbage and almost never work with most phones (mostly because there are no standards for where the charging coil is on phones, and it must line up precisely with the coil for the charger.)

As I answer questions it seems like it makes more sense to just eat the cost and get the studded Nokians.

It's Colorado, so winter temps range from 75ºF (seriously!) to -10ºF. If the forecast is for snow, I would be driving something else as I also own an FJ Cruiser fitted with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 SUV studded snows. For the most part the all-seasons would be to ensure drivability if the...

With the realization that if snow is actually forecast I'd leave the GT at home, how many here kept the summer tires and went for dedicated set of winter wheels and tires as opposed to dumping the summer tires for a set of UHP all-seasons like the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus in...

Same here, but with Nite Pony.

For the last 30 years or so I've never let anyone but a dealer work on any car I've owned except for tires; I've always provided my own Mobil 1 for all my vehicles. If you think a dealer will screw up an oil change, that's nothing compared to an independent mechanic, as in both places it's...

For my past several vehicles I've used a Battery Tender that connects via an always-on 12V "lighter" port (its wires terminate in a lighter plug.) I'd like to do the same for my 2026 GT Premium when it comes in so I don't need to pop the hood whenever I want to connect it: Are there good...
