Awesome look. I’ve had Rohannas on a 550 in the past. They were good rims however, the ones I had were “Rotary Forged” not a truly forged rim.

If you’re in S. Cal., give Calabasas Cadillac a call. I picked up a 2026 with the options I wanted, in stock, last month. Ethan, my sales Rep, told me it was the 2nd 2026 they sold that day. Truly a great experience.

Will be the 2nd time for me. Back in 2019 I bought a Z06 (C7 - 7M) and did it in an equivalent car.

The cost to pay someone to clean it properly after ocean usage would grate on me when I could do it myself for free. I work for a paycheck (we’re not wealthy) so the dollars are better spent elsewhere. No disagreement from me on the California lakes. Almost all of them are too small regardless...

The amount of work required to clean up a boat and trailer after being in the salt water is staggering. Literally takes me 6 plus hours of cleaning after a day in the ocean. Even the props have to come off otherwise the shafts corrode. Most everything (including the motor/drives internals (as...

Unfortunately most of the lakes in California have speed limits. Not so on Havasu and (as far as I know), Lake Mead, Mohave and Powell. That said, I was once issued a noise citation at the Las Vages Marine on Lake Mead. No kidding about the budget though. This is our 8th boat over 30 years...

I had an order in (1100) at a Dealer in Phoenix for a few weeks. Subsequently, the exact car I wanted (stick with the precision package, the upgraded interior and wheels) popped up on the lot at Calabasas Cadillac. They sold it to me at MSRP (plus $2k for a ceramic coating) and delivered it to...

That is correct.. It’s been over 20 years since we’ve boated on Castaic. Last time I was there, I got a speeding ticket for doing 75 in a 35. It was on a weekday and there was almost no one on it. The Lake Patrol was pretty angressive about it (boarded the boat, searched for alcohol, checked all...

In my case, it’s a Manning trailer made for this specific boat. I believe it has less than 800 lbs of tongue weight. It’s pretty well balanced and, coupled with an electric over hydraulic braking system, and a shock absorbing hitch, it tows extremely well. In terms of backing up, it needs a lot...

lol - yes, pretty loud. Twin staggered Mercury Racing 700s

Manual because that’s what I like to drive. That said, I also have a 10 speed auto in a 2025 diesel Denali (used to tow a heavy boat) and it feels like it reads my mind in terms of gear position. I wonder if there is any similarities in terms of its design vs. the BW. The truck is roughly 500 HP...

Although I do have a 2nd gen CTS-V coupe, I honestly think it was just dumb luck. Every dealer I talked to said it was going to be unlikely to get the precision package even though I was ordering.

Hi all, Thanks for the add. I searched 3 states for several weeks for a 2026 CT5 V Blackwing with no luck. Ended up ordering one out of Phoenix. Not a week later, one showed up at Calabasas Cadillac with the opions I was looking for. A six speed manual with the precision package along with an...
