Went to a Cars & Coffee at a winery in Tuttle, OK today. I got there at 7:30 and the parking lot was almost full. I found an empty spot on the far side and parked the V-Wagon. First picture. By 10:30, I was the only car left on my row. Second picture. Big turn out with lots of cars and...

I'm a Vette and a V guy - not a BW but a CTS-V wagon - 6-sp. I also have 2 Vettes in the garage - a 2013 427 Convertible and a 2025 Eray. 1716 combined HP. The 427 is a sweet ride - nothing like hearing that engine at 7000 RPM. The Vwagon is quiet compared to the 427. The Eray has...

My watch. It's on my wrist every day from get up to going down for the evening.

Guess I'll just have to keep for another 11 years! Hurt me!

Does a 14.5+ year old CTS-V Wagon count as vintage enough?

Dave's Custom Detailing in Tecumseh, OK did a wonderful job!

I've been driving this car since December 7th, 2010, and lots of people have shown interest in wanting but it's still in my garage. I like it too much to sell it!

I dropped the V-Wagon off at a custom detail shop for a make over and ceramic coating. Got it back today. What do you think?

The b.s. at the FAA started to get in the way of enjoying work also. Why I quit. My mystery novels are on Amazon at Amazon.com : Alton Tuna Dobbins I wonder if this link will work?

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.
