I remember a member here saying that learning how to efficiently work the cruise control saves on a lot of engine and axle parts.

If someone doesn't decide to cut me off, I can get 30 miles to work and back without hardly using the breakes.

 

Ahh LA ok makes sense now lot more driving than the small town guys like me lol

 

Realistically, Mia and I get an awesome kick out of driving the LTZ around.

 

it remindes me i need to do mine i do aalot of high way and attraction driving. bad drivers where you need to use your breaks alot i mean stop on a dime abuse. i need to replace my rotors and pads at the same time it feels like they are warped. what are the best rotors to be honest i dont really want to get reamed on the price on them

 

Dang, and here I was thinking my 110k was getting high. So far I haven't had any steering problems other than the blown line that was later recalled.

I seem to have cured my Service Traction Control with a complete tune up including cleaning the throttle body (probably helped the most). Pretty much my only complaints so far.


I replaced my brakes at 60k with slotted rotors and some EBC pads (I think). Old ones didn't really have any warpage and so far these ones don't either. Replacing them was pretty easy and straight forward, in case you might be thinking of taking that route.

 

I am small town guy but drive 70 miles round trip to work every day. Some days I work at diffrent stores or multiple stores and I put 300+ on in a day. cruise control is alot easier but you get an extra 2-3 mpg without it at least in a hilly are like me. Work is 250' above sea level I live 12 ft below sea level. So alot of hills and the way to work is uphill.

 

I haven't tried the cruise yet and I've had my car since 2009.......I haven't even figured out how to use it either......

 

I rarely use mine. My truck doesn't even have it

 

If it is anything like Jenna's Impala you just hit the middle button on the left hand side of the steering wheel (probably has an icon that looks like a speedometer) that turns on cruise, then you hit the set button on the bottom and that sets the speed.

 

I'll have to give that a try next time I hit the turnpike on my way to work, thanks Mike.....
