It's funny isn't it - in a world where Tesla never existed, the Blackwing would be in the running for the absolute top dog sedan, next to the M5 CS. The performance argument is over - on most road course the Lucid Sapphire, Taycan Turbo GT and Tesla Plaid will smash a Blackwing (unless it's an...

I remember back around 2014 he was known for knocking about in a manual Golf GTI, so I'm guessing he values driving stick and being 'somewhat' under the radar in his daily. I would not be surprised if it's in a plain color without the CF. Debadge the "Blackwing" (or don't put it on) and like...

Mixed feelings on this one! Mark Zuckerberg’s choice of supercharged daily driver earned him instant respect and adoration from gearheads https://flip.it/8paoin

It feels like a fairly typical depreciation curve is happening now and things are returning to normal. There's a steep drop-off happening, which will eventually slow to a mild decline, then 10 years from now, when the cars are long discontinued and your only new car choice is a Geely...

Oh no, I get it ... so far it just looks like a brick.

🫣 I recently bought a Defender 90. It does look quite square and brick-y to be fair.

In all seriousness, there's probably little to no profit in it for them because they'd have to properly inspect and recondition the car as well as hope someone buys it for that price. Carvana gets away with breaking even or losing money on their sales because they've convinced investors that...

Caddy dealer is working by fuddy duddy "car dealership rules" (making profit and minimizing risk) whereas Carvana is actually a Tech Startup which means the rules are different: it is important for Carvana to lose money hand over fist on every car it sells, and sell a lot of them. That is what...

Bumping the thread - 3 signed up so far!

If you have a 5BW now I'm curious how you get on in winter. Reading the threads about Winter Tires for the 5BW, it seems like there aren't really any great options, and the factory tires are fairly sketchy below ~40degF. I know that may seem like a trivial thing to focus on, but if I lived...

I had the same and I think I figured out a problem & solution. If your phone goes into "DRIVING" focus mode, CarPlay doesn't work. If I turn off Driving Focus, it connects immediately. This is the kind of genius out of the box thinking we come to expect from Apple :LOL:

100% -- this forum is refreshingly awesome and welcoming, and the couple of Cadillac V events (e.g. the IMSA race at Laguna Seca) where I've met other owners have been the same. I don't have a lot of experience with the BMW community but the gatekeeping and snobbery on the Porsche side can be a...

Most youtubers are just cranking out videos that they think the algorithm wants - and a lot of people click on those 'which car will be collectible' videos. The actual content of the video is a secondary concern. My take 1. Will the 5 Blackwing be as collectable as the manual CTS-V Wagon? No...

Y You have a blackwing - you'll cover those 100 miles in hardly any time at all.... 😊

How does it feel nailing a heel-toe shift in the Ioniq? :ROFLMAO:

I mean, I guess it depends how many laps you are doing :D

Hey NorCal folks (and NorCal adjacent?) We're getting a Blackwing Corral together at the excellent Pre-Stage Cars & Coffee at the Marin Civic Center, then doing a group drive through some of the North Bay's best backroads. If you'd like more details, please message me. I did a dry-run of the...

😠

A lot of the '22s sat in the "Lot of Doom" in Michigan for a while over the winter. Mine had a number of surface scratches on the hood and roof and some paint rubbed off on the roof - something to do with the 'protective' sheets they put on the cars for storage I think. I got a paint correction...

First of all, hats off on the username. If you want to be on the Ace timeline, pick the Blackwing, and smoke me a kipper. Secondly, CPO can be a bit hit-or-miss depending on the dealership. Let's just say they're incentivized for the car to check all the items on that checklist. Primary value...
