Wow a virginal Blackwing! Enjoy, Don

Think it's pretty lazy and lame to sit in an idling car to eat lunch. Sit on a nearby bench if they're available. Don

The local Cadillac dealership has a "tech guy" who knows his business. A couple days ago I asked him if there were any easy changes such as an aftermarket filter that provides real benefits and would be OK with Cadillac. The answer was no surprise, nothing. Factory filter will stay on my...

Has anyone tried aftermarket air filters, in particular dry filters (hate dealing with the mess of cleaning and reoiling wet filters) on Blackwings? Any demonstrated results other than engine noise? Thanks, Don

Plenty of 40 and below temps even in central TX so if you go by the guidance, you can't drive the car. Don

ICK! Don

My 4BW is one of the special editions, an IMSA Road Atlanta car. The car has carbon fiber backs on the front seats. They look nice but they produce an irrirating squeak when you're driving. Anyone have a solution other than removing them? Thanks, Don

For some reason, I'm not able to post as normal so I'll do a workaround. My other car is a Kia Stinger GT1, a twin turbo car. I got catch cans from a relatively near Kia dealer, whose service manager had a hopped up but small displacement engine. Mine has worked well. I rarely get more than...

Have a 5 amp Noco coming, thanks to this thread. Don
