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...

Pretty sure this is my fav’ exterior colour now. I saw your post on Reddit… over 700 comments! People ”enjoyed’ joining you on your journey through the goat pen. Congrats.

Picture a huge goat pen, with only one gate. The first goat walks in, then gets pushed in further by the next goat, then those two get pushed further towards the far corner when the next goats arrive. When the gate is finally opened to allow some goats to escape, those closest to the gate...

My CT5-V Blackwing had a build date of March 27, 2023… and it was built last week! Got the VIN today. BUT, it’s 4B00. EDD = “delayed.” I purposefully didn’t order any carbon fibre packages, so hopefully it’s not missing anything “major.” 🤞

Super Cruise has been available to order this year in Canada

Did they give you a loaner Caddy to drive while yours is out of commission? It’ll be interesting to hear if the one bank of cylinders $hit the bed like the other failed LT4s…

In a normal world I would never consider buying a car without test driving it, doesn’t matter if it’s new or used. I actually enjoy the whole process. This is the first and hopefully last time I ever buy a car sight unseen. It does help build anticipation of actually receiving the thing though…

One thing you could do is purchase this Maverick Noir Frost CT5-V Blackwing I just specc’d out 😯… (This is in Canuck dollars, just thought it was an interesting perspective) $2748 x 84 months = $230,832

You’d think (hope) the Cadillac buying experience would be far superior to the Chevy version. The Standard of the World should be on par with Lexus and the Germans. Or at least Buick. It now seems like the best way to manage expectations is to simply have none. The Z06 is luring Porsche...
