I share you concern. Consider: Everyone stays in the town of Ely, NV for the race and associated events. The actual road course is from Lund, NV to Hiko, NV and is 90 miles long (this will take 49:04 minutes at 110 mph). The distance from Ely to Lund is 37 miles. So the round trip mileage...

Radar detectors are still very useful. Police use radar in many different ways, and radar detectors are effective against many of them. Here are a few scenarios for RADAR: 1) General enforcement -- the police here aren't really interested in catching the lone wolf super speeder, they just want...

A few weeks ago, I learned of the Silver State Classic Challenge, which is an open road rally that takes place on a 90 mile stretch of Nevada Highway 318. The road is closed by Nevada police for the day for the race. Of course, the Silver State Classic Challenge has been run since 1988. An...

I took delivery of a 2025 CT5-V Blackwing (86-223, Deep Space Metallic) a couple of weeks ago in Phoenix, AZ. The car was built the 2nd week of December 2024. I had originally ordered a 2024 model, but got rolled over to 2025 -- which I didn't mind, as I like the new dash layout of the 2025 (I...

Radar detector detectors aren’t a thing anymore. The company that made them went out of business several years ago and existing units in the field have been dwindling as they break.

The calculation can be done separately for the 81- and 86- series. Now, that means the maximum serial number needs to be determined separately for 81- and 86- series.

During the World War II, the Allies used statistics to get very good estimates of German tank production. The Germans put sequential serial numbers on their tanks -- some of those tanks would be captured in battle, and allied intelligence would record the serial numbers found. Given the number...

Heh, I expect to take delivery of my 5BW w/6MT this week — same color, seats, and bronze wheels. A most paradoxical color which doesn’t seem to photograph well. I’m eager to see it in person (hopefully tomorrow…)

Here is a video of a CT5-V with Deep Space Metallic: YouTube Deep Space Metallic I think it gives you a better sense of the color than a static photo (although pro tip to the videographer: lower the camera to car level). I ordered my 2025 5BW in DSM; maybe I’ll see it in person in February...
