    Blackwings and Watches

    My main criteria for a watch is.........you have to be able to actually, quickly tell what time it is ! These qtr. million Richard Mille watches are the worst.

    AUTO TRANSMISION AND CAR WASH MODE

    I highly doubt my 5BW will EVER go thru a mechanical car wash. But its good to know that these issues could arise. Like my cellphone, I don't know half the capabilities of these cars today. I was always happy with power steering, power windows, air conditioning and rear defrosters. When...

    AUTO TRANSMISION AND CAR WASH MODE

    Is this something that can occur on all models of BW from 22- present? I won't see mine (2022 automatic) until April to put it to the test.

    GM Extended Warranty

    My Challenger check up has now gone from almost $4000 to about $7000 in service. I believe this is AFTER my lifetime warranty work is completed. They are now telling me that I need two new valve covers and 4 coil coil packs. I told them to go ahead and replace all 8 coil packs. I was always...

    At some point during my classes, it was brought up about tipping the instructors. There were about 15 of us and each put $20 on the podium just before the end of the course. There were about 6 instructors , so each got about $50 per. My Dad taught me that if someone provides good service...

    GM Extended Warranty

    I just brought my 2014 Dodge Challenger into the dealer for some work to be done on my power steering. I bought the MOPAR Lifetime Warranty back in 2014 and paid $2500 for it, $100 deductible. I told the dealer to go over the whole car and see if they find anything that is covered under...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    My brothers own the family auto body shop that my Dad started over 60 years ago. They want to sell it and retire very soon. I better order my hood soon and get it in their shop for my free installation and paint !

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Looks great ! I have questions. Is the Anderson hood a simple swap of the factory hood or do the hinges have to be changed? I saw on their site about a recommended "heat shield". Does it come with a heat shield or is the factory hood insulation used? Were there any fitment issues that...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Called On Star earlier and suspended my service until April 28th 2026. I was paying $46.75 per month ($561 yr.). I didn't even ask for a discounted monthly price and the operator changed my payment plan to $37.51 per month (saving $110 p/yr). The new price starts when I call to reinstate in...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I'm going to call On Star and suspend my service until April, too ! Between saving on comprehensive and On Star I should save almost a thousand bucks over the winter. Since I retired, I am getting smarter with where my money goes. Getting rid of Cablevision is next on my things to do list.

    CT5-V Unfortunately selling my CT5-V Blackwing, advice on where to list?

    Put it in storage, start it up once a month. Then when your leg feels better, you will be glad that you didn't get rid of it !

    Just because a laser jammer is legal in your state, does not give you a pass to use it in another state. You are breaking the law.
