We currently own 4 cars but don't drive nearly so much as we used to since we've retired (10+ years now). I'll often do my own oil changes but I'm no mechanic so I rely on shops i trust for most repairs and maintenance...even if they might cost (even) more than the dealership....I know I'm...

Thanks obeykube....all makes sense. I will also do the tranny and diff fluid as you suggest. Interesting that you could tell the difference.

Looks like its time to get my oil changed again and I was considering getting it done at a local shop vs trudging down to the dealership and waiting all day to get it done. So my question is what are the documentation requirements to maintain warranty if i do it other then at the dealer...

And welcome to the forum BTW and good luck getting a test drive.

Aside from my Spring Mountain session (that is included when you buy a new BW) I've never been on track. It seemed very good to me on track - fast, stable and predictable and quite fun. From all the reviews and from all Cadillac has done with this car to make it track worthy I would say its a...

I agree...and you would think....I'm sure it was a base model....and he was certainly trying....but I can get the ZHP moving faster then it has every right too and I hooked up quite well. Back in the day I once ran an E46 M3 on a long stretch where I ended up less then a car length behind. I...

Got beat off the line by a Tesla (S model of some sort). This is a first for me in any car. I even took one in my 2004 BMW ZHP last week....and he was trying too....I just got a great jump. But this loss comes with some caveats...I had 3 passengers with air condition on...and I was in a right...

Agreed. Funny I listed to the last two clips and thought - man sounds a lot like my stock exhaust....then I noted the file names...

We've always called it proactive driving...

I agree that Cadillac hasn't done enough to promote these great cars but I'm constantly running across folks (obvious car enthusiasts) who know what a Blackwing is and are favorably impressed. Just in the last 2-3 days I've had 4 different people comment very favorably on my car....though they...

I once had the opportunity to follow a CIA big SUV from an airport to the US Embassy in a foreign city where the airport was on the opposite side of a city to the embassy. The lead agent tried to dissuade me from doing so and suggested I just meet them there as they practiced full evasion...

Looking forward to the vids with sounds! I had a great AWE exhaust on my B5 S4 that I really loved. I can see one in my BWs future...

That certainly describes me with my wine cellar. I've long had this vision of my two boys perhaps surrounded by family and friends....long after I'm gone...clinking together glasses of (priceless fine) wine and saying "wasn't dad cool...leaving us all this great wine and not just money"

Wishing you the best of luck! I'm a long time gamer/wargamer since my youth. I started playing D & D in 1974 and still play a version with my own custom rules and paint and use miniatures - occasionally with elaborate Dwarven Forge setups and related accessories. I actually briefly ran in a...

I imagine that it would....though I never felt the need for more grip when I was at Spring Mountain....then again short track and perhaps I wasn't driving fast enough. I do regret not carrying more speed through some of the curves (following their braking recommendations vs letting it fly more...
