Nope, just a lanky, long armed goofy looking guy. Big, long, monkey arms do make it easier to get to roofs when working cars.
If you`re referring to the `upgraded` Mag Ride calibrations, been somewhat of a point of contention since reveal and it was released. Not a worry for me personally as we skipped the Mag Ride option. Neat technology but if one of those shocks goes south you`re looking at $650 per from GM or $350 or so from outside sources.
Even though this is the last year for the C7 there are still some knows potential issues that GM has yet to truly address. In our case, the A8 transmission is a possible pain point, noted in this thread as being a persistent problem thru the C7 run:

Kinda rolling the dice on that one, just playing the odds that it will not be an issue for us but it`s always gonna be out there, lingering.
One of the things I`m a little wary of re: the C7 is the added complexity that`s come into play in the 14 years since we bought the 2004. Kinda like washers and dryers in your home; used to be a knob and a dial or two, fixing not that big a deal but with all the electronic controls on appliances now, thing stops working and you`re likely in for $400+ to replace circuit boards/control boards and whatnot, almost making it more prudent to buy a whole new machine for $500-$600.
I dig technology and the advantages it has but sometimes feel that it`s overdone in the name of `Technology for Technology`s sake` as opposed to technology that is implemented as a result of an identified item that it could help address. Kinda feel sometimes in all areas it`s akin to putting the cart before the horse: "Hey, this wireless, predictive whatever is really cool, let`s come up with something to use it with!" as opposed to "Here`s a problem, will technology provide a (reliable) answer for it?"
Hopefully we get reasonably trouble-free life outta this car but if it starts to be an issue, it`s outta here and depreciation and $$ concerns of a `mistake` be damned. If a `fun` car becomes a PIA and is no longer `fun`, it has no purpose to me with respect to the role we bought it to play. Life`s short, ain`t got time to be mucking around with things that cause mental strife.
