Goddamn. My New Year's resolution is to only say nice things about people. But Fuck it... this guy is just as annoying to listen to as Doug DeMuro. I suspect they're both nice guys, but my time is too precious to waste listening to these nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying voices. I gave him...

I’d love to see the numbers. Partly for personal curiosity, but mainly for the future… if I can ever manage to let go of this beast, some potential buyers will pay a hefty premium if they can be convinced production was truly limited.

Any time spectators can walk away after watching a speeding Mustang, it’s a good day.

It’s pretty amazing how far the technology has come in the past half century or so…

My other car had just under 4000 units produced over its entire production run, and it had a fairly strong and healthy aftermarket. That’s partially because it was assumed owners would pony up the costs, but also because there existed problems that the OEM would not solve so there was a need for...

My priority was to retire early, so I never bought a new car and let someone else pay for the depreciation. I bought a “new to me” car every 5-10 years, only because I’ve been a car nut since I was a young child and it’s my hobby (and you don’t have to financially justify your hobbies). The...

Cool quote in this Porsche Spyder RS article: “By virtue of it's multitudinous and symphonic intake notes, the Spyder RS is perhaps the best-sounding thing on the road right now (though, perhaps, Lamborghini’s Huracan V-10, Ferrari’s N/A V-12, and the brooding thundercloud stuffed under the...

Fellow CCB owner watching this thread. Have you all burnished the brakes per the owner’s manual instructions?

No dealers between here and Toronto had fewer than 5 people on their waiting lists, so I gave up. Then I tried west, and Huron Motor Products in Exeter said I’d be first on their list, so I figured what the hell and signed up early 2022 (no deposit required). I placed my order in Q4 2022, it was...

... or more accurately, another motherf&#$er just escaped the pen! The dealer was shocked to see it roll off the transporter yesterday -- no advance notice at all. Naturally it's a long weekend here in Canada, so they can't start the PDI until Tues/Wed next week, so I might have to wait another...

There are ZERO CT5-V Blackwings available for sale in Canada. There was one listed privately for $170k, but it disappeared (sold?) I’ve heard from a few owners that, despite high expectations, they love theirs even more than expected, and plan to own for many, many years.

Well, on the bright side, once the last ICE Blackwing rolls off the line, used values should start to increase… because people so often want what they can’t get. 20 years from now the CT5-V Blackwing could carry the same mystique as the Buick GNX (a skunkworks monster created by passionate...

I got my “forever build.” I had to wait 9 months to order. Then around 4 months to build. Now waiting for missing parts. For me it builds the anticipation (plus it can’t be driven properly in winter here anyway). I think the dealer makes a big difference in the buying experience (managing...

You’re gambling either way. The new front-end refresh could end up uglier. And my concern would be with the redesigned interior, particularly if they follow current trends of removing hard buttons and moving more controls to submenus on the touchscreen… this is damn annoying for the driver...
