Default 2 things i've learned about my car thanks to the forum.

2 things in last couple of weeks learned. I never knew the gas door locked when I locked the car. After seeing the post's about it being eliminated, I had to try it. Sure enough, my '22 locks with the doors. The second is the fact that the tach red line changes as the car warms up. Never noticed that either until I watched it today. Fascinating. I really should RTFM

I’ve never owned another car that has the redline change as the oil heats up. I never got it until it was warmed up - but it’s cool the C8 does that.

Years ago, my friend had an E39 M5 that did this. Pretty cool for it's time, and I wondered when it would make its way into more and more cars. By comparison, my 2012 5.0 didn't even have this feature.
