You don't know till you know. And if you know, you know. But you can also forget, so put that poo poo in a spreadsheet.

I like this.

Sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the next update :f5:

I saw the first pic of the bag and thought it looked like it was rubbing.

I think I have mentioned it, but if you find yourself along I64 in southern Indiana I have a shop with 50amp, water, sewer, and a 12k two poster if you need it.

I have no cool accommodations in Detroit but would ride MTBs and have a beer if you come through again.

gently caress yeah. I love how a bum engine seems like a minor stumbling block. Ever onward!

Other assholes exist so it's ok to be an rear end in a top hat!

Polluting the air less is good.

The voltec system was brilliant. The gas generator was about as refined as the iron duke that powers Grumman LLVs. The platform is very...Opel. I liked it. It's heavy down low and corners like a sled. The car was sold to me having everything. It had everything except ACC. Turns out it was 2 months too old to have the harness. I had the car for maybe 6 months and 1500 miles. Camped in it a couple times. 2020 happened and all of a sudden I didn't need 2 motos, a truck, and a car.

It too made an excellent camper. Plug it in, put a hair scrunchie over the gear switch lockout and the hvac system stays live.

I would totally harvest parts from one to use as a hybrid conversion.

I worked on the gen 2 volt, on the engine specifically. :argh:

at the bolded part. Pretty much all of the engineering was done in the US, at least the powertrain. I don't remember how much Opel was involved at that point. Usually cursed at, I just wanted to give some of the :911:

engineers an ounce of credit. We can make good vehicles... when the stars align.

It was a great car and so much better than the gen 1, especially with mass. I was sad when it was killed off, something they probably regret doing in hindsight. It's been awhile since then but it's probably the product I was most proud of.

It was disappointing they killed the platform. for a gm product it punched well above its weight. My complaints with the ice is purely in open loop on cold start. it was rough and loud, despite the car having 18k-mi. I sent it over to chev for a pcm update and reflash that kind of helped but didn't. Once warm it was fine. Sometimes on startup it would be rough enough I could feel it in the floorpan. But as we're learning in this thread not every example is the same and I'm a poo poo magnet for outliers.

I'd prob still have the car if it weren't for 2020 and all that it entails. It was magnificent at road trips. I like its sorta-related sibling, the ELR too but those go for far far too much money.

Cat light off to warm it up quickly for emissions. Since the engine was rarely coupled to the wheels like a normal car we were able to do whatever was needed for best efficiency. I'm not sure if that meant that it idled higher at cold start but yeah the noise when the engine started cold wasn't great. Everything is a trade off.

Love the pics as always.
