    Burning rubber smell (not the good kind)

    Unfortunately, no, never figured it out. Happened a couple times this past winter.

    My BlackWing has been relieved of its duties...

    Sorry, I didn't mean to insinuate there was for you. I was just speaking more broadly to the common chorus of manufacturers that are going ICE free by 20xx. It seems going to an EV is ideally in a lease because the resale of EVs isn't looking so hot. "You'll own nothing and be happy"

I don't have the garage space for a second car for me, so my car has to be a 4 season car. A good set of winter tires is all I've needed. Granted the...

    Newbie question: no crackles/pops on CT5V BW?

    Tour mode (the default starting setting) is very quiet- and that's still one notch above the quietest setting. I believe the pops and burbles are only on the loudest setting. If you configure my mode, you can customize everything except the engine/shift setting, and you can always be in this...

    Newbie question: no crackles/pops on CT5V BW?

    You can have no pops or burbles if you want to. There is a completely separate control for the exhaust.

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread
