Not on s Mclean. There is a Shell on Larkin near me. Could there be another Spec.B in our area? Honk next time! I had a friggin blast New Year's Eve. Tested the Contis out on some of the steep hills from dead starts. The AWD system is amazing and the Contis gave great starting grip with minimal clutch riding. Stalled her once on Pennsylvania and got right to the edge of the Conti's abilities but she pulled away with aplomb on the second start. My passenger loved the donut shop. I actually even had legitimate reasons to make a couple of trips! BTW, my passenger had his A6 parked in my driveway. He didn't want to take it out because he didn't think his tires were up to the challenge of 7" of snow .

^ This is the Legacygt.com site. When I originally laid out the poll, I neglected to be specific enough and went under the assumption that only LGT owners would tally up. Less drinking when polling is the lesson but, what the hell, it's an open poll so one can check the numbers.

^ It's an open poll of fleet mileage. You can check who is getting what by clicking. Nice grammar BTW.

You might want to think about upgrading your suspension.

For years I wondered about those late model Corvettes you always see doing 55 on the freeway. Now I know.

It takes patience when driving a high performance AWD sports sedan. Most of the others are afraid they're going to tip over when they encounter a bend on the interstate and slow to 50 from a breakneck, almost out of control, floating, wandering, sloppy 70.

^ It takes a great deal of patience to go 70.

Bumping for more data

That's because you disabled your DRL.

Poor man's cloaking device?

Are your DRL disabled or something?

The Spec.B can't exceed the speed of light. Nothing can. The reason he saw me (and it was me) is because I didn't have the cloaking device engaged. I don't use it too much because it's hard on mileage and people keep making lane changes into you. I thought Tosh was going to say he saw me getting a ticket on I90E right before the Fox river bridge about 11:30 last night. 75 in a 55. I wasn't going 75. I never go 75 because the cops are looking for that 21mph+ level to enforce. I think he didn't like a maneuver I pulled in traffic. The Statie said he trailed me from Barrington Rd. At 12:10-15pm today, I checked it on the Nav and the distance is 6 miles. I also rechecked actual vs indicated MPH via the GPS at at the rpm that I usually have the CC set to. I was not doing 75. Should have used the cloak instead of hyper-miling. PS Didn't see you yet again. Honk next time!

^ Then get a new one and be firm at the dealership.

Saw an 07 Spec.B westbound on the NW Tollway near Barrington Road. We were slowing for accident traffic. I was in the left lane and you were in the center and soon exited. I honked an waved and you honked back. FYI, Some numb nut put their car into the center divider a little way past the exit. Once past it, I then proceeded to impress my passenger buddy with the Spec.B's exquisite acceleration. Time was ~ 5:50pm

I'm keeping score. All complaints (unless I missed one) are 05 related. This is why being a member of a car brand forum is so useful, IMHO.

Seems to be mostly 05s having this problem. I wonder if it's age related or a substandard batch of switches or a combination of the two.

Yep! You got the stealth package?

Summer gas has been influencing the poll results as predicted. Average fleet MPG is going up.

Total average milage as per OEM display.

I live in your area across Larkin. Where the hell do you see all these LGTs????????

Get outta here! You should have honked. I was probably listening to traffic or something. Yep. Live in Elgin.

That'd be me!

I would primarily recommend the Contis as a winter tire. They perform pretty well all around but their forte is definitely inclement conditions.

I figure it to be ~28mpg.

Check the date of that post. This poll has been up for some months. But $2.30 gas! Seems like crazy talk nowadays.
