I've never understood comments like this. As an engineer, I'd love to live in a world where engineers actually got to make the decisions you think they make. Engineers get overruled constantly by management for tons of reasons, good and bad. In the case of cars emissions compliance is a big...

Fascinating. Capital Cadillac wouldn't return calls or e-mails when I was looking for my 5BW, which led me to have a bad impression of them. I guess their service department is better than their sales department.

Literally not even possible for some of us.

Everything is negotiable. They have a number of cars listed optimistically on their website.

No affiliation, saw this at Jim Ellis Cadillac today when I brought my car in for warranty work. GM headlights apparently don't last 10,000 miles. While waiting I saw a striking matte black wrap on a 2025 5BW, manual transmission, no exterior carbon or carbon seats, no sunroof, iron rotors...

I confess, I'm a little detached at this point. 2029 will be the real test, when they use their own engines. Using Ferrari means that they'll have good power, which obviously means a lot. Not as much as the Ferrari team, no doubt, but solid--enough to grab points here and there if the rest of...

That's just one part of it! Not only would I never take my car through an automated car wash, my car will never go into this strange "Park" situation. ;) I say that without intending to throw any shade, I'm well aware that circumstances change as explained by the OP.

I change watch faces periodically so it's not instant. When it does become instant, I change it up. There are also other watch faces that make you think in other ways, various geometric designs.

Depends on the number. Sometimes you have to think about it for a little bit for the higher numbers. For example, anything staring with 11xxx you have to had 48 to a number you already know, or 10xxx you have to add 32. Other than that it's pretty quick.

Speaking of watches, I picked up a new Pebble a few months ago. Yes, the original smart watch is back--better than ever. Probably not in the same price range as many other watches here, at $149 plus shipping, but it's the perfect watch for tech nerds! :)...

Talking about the design of the 2025 CT5. Seems a little late, but the video was just released. He talks about the styling, including the differences in the dash/infotainment. Go to 13:13 or so for the discussion of the dash. He also mentions manual v. automatic.

Tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to. That's the precise definition of being lazy, the way many of us look at it I think. They are too lazy to figure out exactly what is involved, too lazy to dig into it and solve the problem.

The blue seats look fantastic, but I think the exterior is too "purple-y". The interior and exterior don't go well together, to my eye. I'd keep those blue seats but consider a different exterior color, something softer, more blue. I'd also see how the blue calipers look with the overall...

I just keep all car records in a Trix (Google spreadsheet). Years ago I kept a notebook, but technology marches on.

I was going to say the same thing. Monitor the forum, pay attention when someone is selling something right up your alley, and snap it up. As you well know!
