Not bad for a GM product, but why is there so much more room inside a Honda Pilot with three rows? And no Bluetooth on the stereo? My Kia Soul has that at half the price. I think it was Front Wheel Drive only as well. What if the zombie apocalypse happens when I am in my rental car? Really good looking though!

Do yourself a favor... tip into the throttle from a 20 roll to about 35 then lift and then mash the gas pedal... that spinning engine sound is the 3-5-R wave plate exploding. I have perfected the move.

I kinda doubt a rental would have bluetooth anyway. Rentals are usually bottom spec cars that nobody in their right mind would buy in the first place

My base model Colorado has bluetooth. Base model, or "bottom spec" cars are bought almost exclusively by people in their "right mind".

I have not used bluetooth for anything - ever, Still haven't figured out what it's useful for.

Tell me more about the transmission issue?

Kinda sounds like you can only practice that once or twice before something goes boom...?

Once usually. We have two transmission techs that need to keep busy ;) (I got a text from one wishing I was back from medical already because they are out of work... I LOL'd)

The 3-5-R wave plate is the weak link in the 6T65E and has been a regular failure point on the units.
