I don't have a Black Wing but I do have a CTS-V Wagon. I also have room for 3 powerful cars, so I bought a 2025 Eray. Bullet quick and comfortable.

My signature block says this, but I'll resay it now. Retired fighter pilot - USAF. Retired technical writer for the FAA. 42-years total service to the US Government. I also tried writing mystery novels. I have 5 on Amazon but nobody is buying them so I'm not making any money from that!

At the time I bought my V-Wagon, I needed a car that could haul my mountain bikes and the V-Wagon was it. The V3 with the extra HP would have been nice but it didn't come in a wagon. Oh Well. So far, I haven't had the desire to pull the trigger on a BlackWing. I'll keep driving my V-Wagon a...

I had D3's on my C4 Corvette and loved them. So, after 2-years of hating the SuperCar tires the D3 was what I chose. Turned out to be a very good choice. My V2 has Michelin tires and they are very good also. Only issue I have with the V-Wagon is the tires are not run-flats and it didn't come...

In chapter 1, on page 55, the author noted one of the 'shortcomings' of the CTS-V1 - axle tramp or wheel hop. I noted that on my '04 V. A hard launch would generate a serious amount of wheel hop. There were a few aftermarket items created to cure that with one being different half-shafts left...

My copy came in today. Can't wait to get into it.

I've had a '21 Stingray and was very pleased with it. My wife decided that a Hysteria Purple C8 was the way to go, so we now have an '25 Eray in the garage. It's not past the 500-mile mark yet, so I can't really say how much performance difference is, feels like a lot! Maybe next week. We...

My V-Wagon is 14-years old today. I special ordered it in 2010 and took delivery Pearl Harbor Day later that year. Still a joy to drive! A Cadillac wagon with Recaro seats, no sunroof and a manual trans!

Still showing off. Saturday, Oct 5th, the V-Wagon was at Putnam City's First Baptist Church car show. The only V there and almost 14-years old.

I took the V Wagon to a Coffee and Cars show last Saturday. Parked near a CT4 V. A lot of people stopped by to talk to me about the Wagon.

I like a manual trans also but I'll take the C8 with its 8-sp auto. The C8 is a great cross-country car - comfortable, great mileage. The C8 has a lot of nannies but then so does the BWs. I don't have a BW and probably never will, but I do have a CTS V Wagon with a manual that I may never get...

.Just finished a 1000 mile road trip in our 2011 V Wagon. 500 out and 500 back with a day in between with family. I was rocking and rolling with the speed limits in OK and TX and cruising at 77 to 84 for the drive down. Averaged 17.5-18.5 MPG. That was a little lower than I expected...

The second car I bought with my own money - '69 RoadRunner, 426 Hemi, automatic. I haven't owned that many cars since I tend to keep them for a while. I had the RR above for 12 years. Below are some of the others I've owned.

There is an Oklahoma Chapter and joined their FaceBook group and hope to learn more about them and what they do.
