This bashing of new members is rude and uncalled for, if you’re so smart, just answer their question and be the hero. If the information is in the users manual or on a web site, reference where to go to get more information. The point is this should be the first place anyone comes to find information about fifth generation Camaros, not the last.

On here, when people tell you to search, they mean to search on the forum most of the time.. but I see what your saying and it is pretty rude how people act towards new members sometimes.

1. Don't use machine car wash, its put swirls on your car. (my first mistake)
2. Dont' back up your car if unless nothing is back there.
3. Activate your onstar
4. Read owner manual (that's answer lot of questions, Gas,oil change)
5. Tap TC once to turn off traction controll
6. Press and hold TC for like 7 seconds to turn off TC, Stability controll

Just a side note. I bought my car used, and it did not come with an owner's manual. I have learned a good bit from this site, and I did download a PDF version of the manual. However, the manual I found was not for a vert and lacking the info about the safety net, etc. I guess it was my fault for assuming the manual was generic and covered all models.

However, I, and I am sure there are many others here who feel the same, would like to offer my thanks to all the members here that have offered helpful advice during my brief time here.

The best thing to do is look at the sidewall of the tire. The maximum pressure will be imprinted there. Every tire is different (make/model/size) so that is the best answer that can be given.

Here is the big problem I have with telling people just to search: Sometimes you may not be sure exactly what to search for. You can't type into a search (Google or on-site) "Help with thingie in engine compartment that looks like a backward 'C'". But by asking this in a thread someone should be helpful enough to not only give you the proper name, but be able to help direct you to your requested information. Some people aren't as good as others in picking the best keywords to search. We should be able to help
