Rob, for clarification, are you building place holders in the Registry for every car you can pull in the GM system? Then you're updating those place holders with actual owners info when they post in here? Im trying to understand how you're managing to build the database for every year.

With great difficulty

Yes, much of the Registry is "place-holders" by VIN. As I have time, I fill those place holders with the actual production data for each Blackwing in there. If an owner fills out the "Update" form for a vehicle in the Registry and submits it, then I can add the ownership data to the Registry....or if someone posts here.

So as of now, you got all the placeholders for 2025s and slowly working down the list of 2026. Where do you actually find those info so you know which vin has what as far as Manual and Auto. Im curious because I've been looking at current VINs coming out of the cadillac and it looks like there's more manuals 5BW this year than autos, which blew my mind. Also I've seen close to 1200 vin range for manuals and 1150-60s for autos. That means they've already made almost 2400 5BWs in June. I feel like Ive never seen it go over 1800 for the year in prior MYs.

I believe I have most of the 2025, but not all. It's pretty easy to figure out the structure of the last 8 digits of a VIN - as far as whether or not it's Manual or Automatic - that's trial and error.

Regarding the numbers you're seeing for manuals and autos...now you know why it takes me so long to work on the Registry. It's time consuming.

I prefer limited editions...like when they only build a hundred of something
