Badger goes zero to 40 in 3 jumps, but he's only good for quarter mile. And he quits work at 2pm. Must be a union thing. That's quite a car.... :)
we have some grandchildren who'd love to see Badger in person .. :D .. kind words appreciated .... she's a fine vehicle .... amazingly comfortable ride, excellent handling, plenty of get up and go, good mileage (averages 32 +/- mpg at interstate cruising speeds) .... not real easy for me to get into or out of but I do enjoy driving it

getting 3 years of use out of a $400 car ain't bad at all .... you sure got your money's worth .... when we purchase a vehicle we are prone to keep and it for at least 10 years .... our truck that we tow our camper with is 12 years old, our knock around vehicle is 14 years old and my Mom's 19 year old Buick is our Daughter's to work and back daily driver .... in all likelihood, so long as it performs OK, it will be the last vehicle we buy for my wife .... it will be paid for in 2 years .... sometime thereafter we will decide if we will keep our current 2011 Silverado or if we will buy what will probably be my last truck

just finished updating the map info in Maureen's 2016 GPS system .... OK, right up front, I prefer Garmin's system so my comments are somewhat biased .... the update itself was easy enough .... you send them too much money ... they send you a USB drive .... you get in, crank the vehicle and plug it in .... you acknowledge a question on the screen letting it know you want to update the maps .... it goes to work .... you leave the vehicle running for they say up to 50 minutes and walk away .... when I came back the car was still idling and the navigation screen looked normal .... on the paperwork they give you a series of steps to confirm that the install was successful .... that's when the *#@+% fun begins .... bottom line, the install was successful but it took most of an hour and a call to GM's customer service to figure it out .... have I mentioned lately that I totally dislike using GM's system .... if anyone ever was to figure out how to plug in a USB drive that could reprogram it to Garmin's system would have my business

I don't even bother to update mine at all If I need a gps I just use my phone. RR I bought one of those Vegas new and took it in to get a tune up from a good friend who owned a gas station. He called me on the phone and said come get it its running great right now but if I was you Id get rid of this thing before all you will get is 400 out of it. Traded it a week later for a 73 Mustang and never looked back. Told me he ran a compression check on it and it wasn't to good.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

my wife has one of those smart phones but we've never set it up to use as a GPS .... we have a good Garmin unit that we use for traveling around the country .... its too large for use in the Camaro .... the Camaro is our emergency travel vehicle (in good weather only ;) ) our closest relatives live 300 miles away and most live 1,500 miles away .... so we make it a point to keep it mechanically ready to leave with a very short notice, that's where updating the OEM GPS comes in .... thankfully we haven't had to make very many emergency trips but we are all getting older ....

My step-dad has a Garmin. Way too complicated of a device. He can't use it and I couldn't figure it out to help him.
Google Maps app on the smart phone. Nothing to setup. type in or speak/tell it where you want to go. Touch 'Start' and it will talk to you turn for turn directions as you drive.

We found the in car/in dash nav systems are usually over complicated and under featured. For the cost of the update subscription for that Nav system, I bought a very nice Garmin for the truck, loaded with features, and lifetime updates included.

It has lane alert, positioning you in the proper lane for your next move.
Split screen, with a 3D view of your next complicated move popping up for clarification.
Traffic warnings...
Search capability, to add logos marking food, fuel, lodging
Talks... And voice command...

If we aren't on a trip, I touch the speed display in the lower right corner of the map, and it becomes an large, easy to see, digital speedometer.

below is a picture of our Garmin 760 DEZL mounted on the windshield of our Sportchassis where its 9.4 x 8.2 x 3.2 inch size is perfect .... it works OK on the dash of our Silverado but is simply too large for mounting on the dash of my wife's Camaro .... down the road I may well buy a smaller Garmin to use in it but there is a question of "looks" which it would have to pass so as to be put in her vehicle ... ;)
