    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    @ROMIL ...Great picture! Congrats. Let the tires warm up. Until there's some heat, they're pretty slippery. I try to behave until the tire pressure gauges reads "normal"

    M6 Auto Braking?

    Several years before I retired, we got a bunch of new Freightliners with auto braking. Some of the sensors were not aimed correctly and would go off randomly. That was always fun at speed with 80,000 pounds. It really was a safety issue. That's why I just have the warning light on the dash and...

    M6 Auto Braking?

    I have mine set to the light only. It has gone off on me a few times that had the brakes been applied, it would have caused an accident. Ex: once going thru a construction zone, the sun would hit the reflective stripe on the barricades and the warning would go off. After a slight bend in the...

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    @flipray ....That's true too, but at one point, they were not selling to out of state buyers. Dustin and I had numerous phone conversations.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    @flipray ...Not to argue, but I ordered my BW in Aug 2021 for 22 MY with CF1, CF2 and CF seats from a higher volume dealer. Number 2 or 3 on the list. Never got my allocation due to constraints. Order sat at 1100 until cancelled at end of model year. Side note: I was pretty bull headed. Should...

    No Refresh for 2026 CT4-V Blackwing?

    GM being GM, I think you have to look at sales. I'm surprised it'll be back for 2026, but that might be it if sales are down. That being said, GM is a bit fickle

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    I'm not sure that's correct. 2022 MY, CF was heavily constrained. They changed suppliers 2 or 3 times. CF started to be "easier" to get for 23's and now 24's. There were times during 23 and 24 CF was constrained due to the special editions getting most of it.

    Blackwing Option Rarity Estimates?

    Rob has almost all the data for 2022. Most data for 2023 and 2024 he's still working on. Apparently, he has a life outside of the forum. You could look at the registry for 2022 options/colors/rarity as a guesstimate for later years.

    Brutal Winter Car

    Depending on what they're using, brine is worse (but cheaper) than salt. Many DOT's are learning now that their bridges are rotting faster due to brine. Many have now changed the make up of brine to more "organic" mixtures to stop the wear.

    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I think it's wrong to take a sold unit, especially an ordered car, on a test drive (other than the buyer of said unit). What if they were to have an accident? I've had dealers tell me no test drive on sold units.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    What is this sno you speak of? Is that the weird white stuff in those pix? Gorgeous here yesterday. Think it was around 70*

    In a dilemma… Help.

    This is correct. It records, basically, 360 degrees. PDR only records front view. The surround vision (not available on 4BW, IIRC) would be good in a accident situation, or better yet, valet or dealer service. Records when the car is on. Records to a SD card that you supply in the right side of...

    Camden! Between going to the hospitals with/for different family members and a former girlfriend going to Rutgers, I can tell you many stories about Camden too.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I agree 100%. Most of us here are truly blessed with wealth, good jobs, good families and good health. My wife works in senior living and she has some real (sad) horror stories. The saddest ones involve folks who have cancer or Alzheimer's who, they and their families, need help.....and not all...

    Media dumps

    I just got my issue Sat. I was very surprised by the results. I haven't read the article yet, but I thought for sure the BMW "check" would have tainted the results....as usual. With C/D, you never know what dumb thing they will focus on and give the win to another vehicle.

    CT5-V CT5-V BW Reliability/Maintenance Issues

    I've had mine at or over 100, well, almost every time it's out. I've been 120-155 (allegedly) and it is 100% stable. I have around 7300 miles and I've had zero issues. I do believe with newer vehicles it's a crap shoot in terms of reliability. The only thing I would highly recommend is if you...
