    Tires leaking air?

    I’ve experienced the same thing, independent of expected pressure changes based on temperature.

    I have a deeper appreciation of the CT5-V Blackwing

    Over 10k miles on mine and absolutely loving it. I had high expectations and no disappointments here. The earlier comment of it being the modern equivalent of the E39 M5 is spot on. That is high praise.

    Blackwing emblem

    I had contacted Cadillac customer service several months ago about the badge and subsequently submitted the online request, neither of which resulted in a badge being delivered. I then used the number in this thread today and spoke with a representative who said there was no record of my...

    Hood shake at high speeds

    I haven’t noticed it on the blackwing, but our Expedition hood flexes/flutters a lot at higher speeds. Unnerving, but I just assumed it was due to the aluminum hood combined with the fact they may not be paying as much attention to the flow of air through the grill and underneath the vehicle.

    Diminished Value Claim

    I went through the diminished value claim process roughly 5 years ago when someone hit me and wadded up my ‘17 ZL1. I recall some states don’t require insurance companies to pay DV claims and regardless of the state, the insurance company plays dumb and will give you the impression they won’t...

    How many of you with a 4BW or a 5BW actually took one for a test drive before buying?

    I honestly don’t remember the last time I test drove a vehicle before ordering one or doing a deal over the phone/email. They usually haven’t been released as of the time order is placed. It’s been quite a few vehicles ago. Only one instance I was disappointed (‘15 Yukon XL Denali).

    Did you pay over MSRP

    This. Unfortunately a good number of buyers with reservation cars made assumptions that they were getting the car at MSRP (rightly so) and didn’t know about the option of transferring the reservation to another dealer that could have prevented being needlessly subjected to ADM. The reservation...

    Blackwings and Watches

    There are definitely worse vices. LOL

    Blackwings and Watches

    Obviously it varies wildly from one AD to the next regarding how they determine who gets the most desirable watches, but my experience has been less irritating with ADs than car dealers. My experience with ADs has been more one of loyalty being rewarded. They realize you didn’t walk out the...

    A new competition for us all: Post your average lifetime RPM

    When I calculated my average, I was too embarrassed to post! LOL I’m just over 2K. In all fairness, my commute is short and the majority of the time, it seems I’m warming it up and can’t hammer it. I would say I see redline every other day. I’ve seriously underachieved and have work to do...

    Blackwings and Watches

    This thread could go in an interesting direction, including things that were more difficult to buy at list in a reasonable period of time than the Blackwing.

    Rock Hit, Undercarriage Damage, What Would you Do?

    This. The insurance company is not your friend, no matter how cool your agent seems. Even if you don’t end up making a claim, this can end up being an “open claim“, from what I understand. It usually makes absolutely no sense to make small claims, given the fact that increased premiums will...

    Rift Being Rift

    One of the few pix/lighting situations I have seen that show that Rift is not even close to a regular white. Based on most pictures, Rift wasn’t one of my favorites, but in person I absolutely love it.

    Replacement tire recommendations

    I’m currently on the stock 4S tires and have noticed the traction going away significantly in the past several months. My assumption is the colder weather and the fact I’m at the point I’ll be needing to replace the tires in the next couple thousand miles due to wear is giving me the issues...
