Fricking winter.

Yes... I saw that one time last winter.
I wanted to get a photo of it to post, but never saw it again.

If you fill your Camaro up and do not shut the engine off, it gives you a message that your gas cap is open. Shut car off and restart and it goes away. Will not go away if you try to give it another click, so don't try!

First time winter Driving.

I was going to ask why you were driving so fast and taking this picture in the winter- and how you got up there so fast, since the "Drive with Care" thing only lasts like 10 seconds... then I realized the gauges cycled. They don't do that in the 2014s anymore.

why should i turn it off? I don't build static with leather seats.

I guess I can say less wear on the starter since i don't use it as often, but i don't really care about that

I also love the sound of the v8 at idle w/ exaust

Because it's -10F with a - 35F wind chill and my ass is sitting in the warm car while it fills.

Have I mentioned that I hate winter?
