    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    To your point, it may not have failed due to the winter-spring cycle. Yet, it was not an alignment issue. Please let me explain... The replacements had over 10k when I sold the car, and they were perfect. I am confident that they peeled apart in that one trip because I had just pre-inspected...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    Example of a failed tire... Drove a Mini as a spare run-around through the winter with summer-only's on it. All was fine until the first highway trip in the spring. The tire literally wore out in 100 miles. The photo may look like an alignment issue, yet it was not (I verified it and had the...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I like talking about cars. And retirement. My 5BW was bought to be a daily. Then, I started liking it too much and found the excuse of no all-season tires. Now I bought a beater RAM for inclement weather, making the 5BW a great second car. Actually third since the spouse's X3 is daily. As...

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    Sign her up! She'll earn respect for the 5BW (over that x3m)! Seriously, she ended up loving the class. Her second place in the autocross solidified "happy wife, happy life". Otherwise, there were a number of spouses that were there, yet didn't attend. All seemed to have enjoyed themselves...

    Last stop of the Hot Rod Power Tour. Great to meet a few other BW folks along the way.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    To opt out (suppress) on LexisNexis, I went here: optout.lexisnexis.com To be honest, the call to 888-497-011 and reasons of: "I didn't opt in" and "I wasn't driving" seemed to be what got the records corrected. Specific to the "I wasn't driving", there is a fundamental flaw in their data...

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Received the response from LexisNexis... They removed all of the telematics data! The reason listed was "...data being reported was unverifiable". A link and password was included for a new report. On there, section 10 telematics was completely empty (yahoo!).

    Spring Mountain Impressions

    I can’t say either way, yet it took four months to get to new dates that accommodated. IMHO, I recommend staying in contact. The way that the math seems to work, there is going to be a line (~4 classes per month, 18 students per class, >3,000 BW’s sold per year)

    Persistence paid off… after contacting SM every two weeks since January, they returned my call this week and we are booked for Sept 13/14.

    Finally, weather suitable enough for even a grocery run. This car is so cool that even the wheel centers align when it is parked.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Similar to others on here, there was telematics data with braking and/or acceleration numbers every single time that my car moved. Either I am a raging driver in denial on my 13 minute commute or the data acquisition criteria is set by that person that I get stuck behind in the mornings...

    Park Assist - No beeps nor bum?

    Hello All. What is everyone experiencing as normal behavior for Park Assist warnings? In my case, there is a single beep or vibrate (depending on setting) for each threshold distance passed. Nothing more. The entire front graphic will be painted yellow/orange/red and there will be no...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Hello jrhammer and fellow Pittsburgh’er(?) Interesting that I had a slightly different experience. I visited each of the dealers that you mentioned, in person during May of 2023. Cochran would not put be on a list. Flat out. Salesman’s name was Smail, yet he worked at Cochran (maybe he was...
