I wish there was a seasonal variation graph. That's the thing I notice here. Zero Vettes until June, then they all go into hiding in late August.

Michigan is a funny bubble of domestic cars owners, but understandably so I guess. Probably 7/10 you see on the road I'd bet.

Which again is bimodally split between 85mph and 2mph, alternating every 1/4 mile on the freeways, with zero reason for the fluctuations.

What are good ventilated seats? I've sat in Mazda 5, Kia Sportage and Lexus NX200t with ventilated seats and they all sucked to the point that I could barely tell there was any airflow at all, even trying to feel it. I was supremely disappointed in that, I thought ventilated seats were a good idea in concept.

Cloth is fine without vents, but in my SS it takes me about a minute to realize that I've forgotten to turn the seat coolers on. It's not like you're sitting on a fan, but the seat never gets warm as you sit on it.

I would not buy a new car without ventilated seats, even being in San Diego where it's not that warm.

Yeah, basically if you expect some quick freezer to blow your nuts cold that won't happen.

Although I would like that setting, I assume market research had to balance that one out.

The ventilated seats in our LS460 are really nice and work great. It's not arctic cold, but more like a cool soft breeze going up your shorts that feels good on a hot day.

The LS430 we had previously had them as well but they didn't work as well as the 460 does.

Cooled seats are ok I guess. Usually depends on the cabin temp if you're actually getting hot or cool air in the first place though. Heated seats however, I will not live without while living in the midwest.

Also why are you all not posting the coolest/dumbest vettes you can make?

The Recaros in my Raptor are the best cooled seats I have owned, but they’re still not great at ventilating my backside. I suppose it also heavily depends on the thickness of your clothes.

I actually like the way it looks on the outside. A ghetto ferrari kind of look to it, but that's ok, it kind of works. The interior and that goofy 1963 chrysler imperial steering wheel are atrocious though.

I'm honestly surprised at the pricing. Very reasonable for what it is. A goddamn pickup truck costs that much nowadays so I would have guessed they were creeping up towards $80 or $90k.

If so, the key to this might be the dealer being good. All my past dealings with dealers have been basically "if it's not listed that way, it's not available that way" :shrug:

lol, I created the same combination a couple days back. When I saw those stripes I was like wtf is this?

e: Forgot to say, I added center stripe and a bunch of carbon crap. Sadly it didn't all show up well on my screen so I didn't do a screenshot.

I'll be curious if GM finally caves and says "Yeah, with the Z51 you can do spoiler delete".
