Last time we started in the bay area and then drove all the way down the PCH to get to the LA area where my wife has family, and then all around the area when we were there.

I envy you guys in Cali with your canyons. I've visited a couple of times and the driving roads there are incredible. There is absolutely nothing resembling that where I live.

Thanks, and you're right that oil temp should settle a little higher than coolant temp so I was wrong there. I'm only noticing the differences because the coolant temp always settled about 10 degrees higher up until a few months ago, and I've taken that same drive a bunch of times and always...

I don't know, but I'm not aware of anything beyond what's in a normal car.

ETA: I just realized I could display my oil temp as well as coolant temp. Turned on the display and romped on the car for a couple minutes, I can't imagine this disparity is normal.

Hi all, throughout my ownership, the coolant temperature tops out around 190-192 for a fully warmed up car and stays there unless I beat on it. Lately, I've noticed that it's been getting up to 180-181 and doesn't warm up further from there. I also just took a 100 mile drive and observed...

Would you drive it in a box? Would you drive it with a fox?

Echo everyone else in saying RIP CT4. That said, I can't imagine there would be a new CT5 but not a BW. The 5BW brings a ton of hype to the line, and the powertrain for the BW will almost certainly be a carry-over.

Thanks man, made an appointment to get it checked out.

Interesting. I just fired up the car in the garage to see if the battery light would appear. I did not put in back on the trickle charger after returning from my trip yesterday. It fired up just fine, no battery light. Started at about 12.5 volts and gradually made its way up to around 13.8/13.9...

Thanks, I think I might do that. It happened again today, though under different circumstances. I disconnected the trickle charger, got in the car, drove 50 miles without incident. When I fired up the car to drive the 50 miles back, the red battery light appeared again. At this point I realized...

It's possible, but the light on the charger went red to indicate charging and then green to indicate/charged maintaining, so it at least thought it had charged the battery. Typically when I see the red battery icon I think alternator issue. Anyway, going to fire it up and go on a long drive...

I have a third car for a few months so the Blackwing is mostly chilling in the garage, and I purchased a Noco trickle charger to make sure the battery doesn't go dead. I placed it on the terminals under the hood, it blinked red for while indicating that it was charging before eventually going...

I have a rear facing convertible on the passenger side rear of my 4, and a front facing toddler-booster behind the driver's seat. It's tight but the front passenger seat is still usable, as is (obviously) the driver seat. It works for day-to-day, but we also have an SUV which we use when we...

I didn't see any. It had the correct seats but I don't poke around too much in the interior
