Slow news day. 28 people are too stupid to know how a car works.

Try Trunk Monkey Parts (Suburban Auto Group), they're by far the best "online" dealership I've used. They also sell GM accessories -- give them a call if you can't find what you need, Nico and the team are very helpful. https://www.trunkmonkeyparts.com/ I tried GM Parts Direct a few times...

DBA sells coated rotors -- I believe it's called "e-coat" and the part number typically ends with the letter E. I would give their US operation a call and talk to the tech support guys to confirm they're available for your car. If there truly is a problem of a lot of unswept area, the coating...

It's unclear to me what the more generic spec for my car's manual transmission, the Tremec TR6070, actually is. The owner's manual says to only use GM part #88861800 which is labeled as "manual transmission and transfer case fluid". I *believe* it's DEXRON III though there was a TSB saying that...

Clay bar alone should be sufficient. Cleaner wax is not a good idea on a windshield. You can also try one of the Nanoskin AutoScrub sponges which are supposedly even better than clay bar (they're similar to the Magic Eraser)...

Try to run chkdsk on it. Could just be something stupid like a damaged file table or whatever. If you plug it into your old PC, is it readable? Are other USB devices readable? Alternatively, try booting to a Linux USB key and see if you can read it there.

Most of them can be washed. Check with the manufacturer. It's typically done on the delicate cycle, cold water, with a detergent that does NOT have fabric softener. You may want to do a second rinse cycle to ensure all of the soap gets out or it could leave a weird film on the paint.

Flash memory is pretty resilient to low temperatures but it isn't impervious. The cheaper memory is probably more susceptible than some of these more commercial/industrial grade ones. I would start with another drive and see if you can reproduce the issue. I know for a fact that the older nav...
