    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    Patience is a virtue! I waited 11 months for my 5BW and close to the end I was thinking of jumping ship.....sooo glad I didn't! A few weeks later I came across this photo op with an AMG E63s.....I was fortunate to meet the owner shortly after taking this pic and we swapped stories.....his...

    OEM Battery Tender

    Perhaps my product was defective. It was Cadillac branded but the box it came in was dusty and worn. The instructions were not good. The product was expensive but not impressive plus it didn't have the optional quick connect like others like it. When you have a $110k car and you go to the...

You may recall on the show that Ray Ray moved from being a "fixer" in LA to being the same in NYC and in the process he ditched his silver CLS 550 MB for the LTA Blackwing - one look and I had to have it. Then I...

    OEM Battery Tender

    I bought this same product and returned it because it doesn't come with q quick disconnect option which is what is needed due to the position of the battery posts in the trunk - the alligator clips cannot attach properly because of the configuration of the battery compartment. Also, you cannot...
