Mine is an early 2023 and they weren’t including the Blackwing badge on the cars at the time. When they sent me one a few months after I got it I never put it on. I prefer it this way, a little incognito.

It took me a few years but I finally completed the blackout look on my 23 bw. I had the ppf guy wrap that annoying piece of chrome on the side mirrors and put on blacked out badges, center caps and the smoked corner markers. Looks much better this way...

I had a similar great experience with Heritage and Joe Ignoffo. I couldn't get an allocation at the Libertyville Napleton location that was close to my house and went to Heritage. Ordered in April 22 with them, allocation received in July, delivered in October. I recommend them highly.

I picked it up from the dealer. It wasn't enclosed.

Double check the wheels, including on the inside. All 4 of mine were damaged by the car carrier and the dealer paid to have them repaired.

Congratulations and I'm very jealous.

On Saturday I was out to pick up lunch and a cts-v came up to my side and wanted to race. We were in a 45mph zone going down to 35 in a speedtrap area. I just kept me speed and he turned off. First time I've had a cts-v come up to me. In other situations I may have raced him a little, but...

That is my biggest regret on my bw. I went with black raven instead of rift metallic. Now I see a dusty car almost every time I look at it, I wouldn't see anything on rift.

I was going to lunch yesterday and pulled up behind a newer Miata at a stop light. The owner kept looking at my car in the rear view mirror and his son in the passenger kept looking over his shoulder at me. He gunned it around the corner a bit and when I had an open lane I passed him at about...

Patience grasshhoppers patience. There is a reason it is called a goat rodeo. :) All good things come in time.

I turned the insurance back on and filled up the tires today. I'll take it out tonight.

You should also check all 4 wheels, inside and outside. Every one of my wheels was damaged on the inside by the car carrier and the Cadillac dealer had them all fixed.

And now when I look at the floor I see some of the stuff underneath. At quick glance you can't see it, but when you know there is stuff there... Cleaning out the tiles and garage floor will be a project this spring.

I'm happy that I can't see them. The trax really hide dirt well. I just looked at a couple of videos because I hadn't done so before. The trax need to be separated and pulled out of the garage. That can be done in large groups at the same time to make it easier, then clean the floor, and...

The only thing I haven't figured out is how to get the small leaves out from under the tile floor. I can't see the small leaves from my locust tree, but I know they are under there. The leaf blower didn't really do much except blow some of the dust around the garage.
