    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    I’m not a car sales expert, but I agree with BimmerFan. If it affected the car value, the insurance premiums should reflect the reduced value. New engine should not affect car value.

    Baling wire is passe. Now it’s duct tape and JB Weld. Flew B-52 in AF. American Airlines was a better deal. Only people shooting at you are jealous husbands. 😀

    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    It was ironic. 40+ years of messing with airplanes (USAF & Airline) and the only engine fail and “forced landing”, was in a car.

    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    The whole process, from engine fail to car brought back from dealer was about, if memory serves, 10 days. That would include an engine being built, transportation from Detroit to Dallas, and engine reinstalled, including new starter and battery. It was almost painless. Sewell Dallas could not...

    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    Your call. Mine has worked fine with the replacement engine. The engines are assembled by one person who signs the engine. I would have loved to have been there when he/she learned the engine had come apart. I was driving at 55 mph with cruise control on and the car started to slow down. I...

    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    Welcome to my world. The engine in my 22 5 BW came apart at about 7000 miles. No track. No mistreatment. It just seized. Sewell Cadillac of Dallas came and got it and brought a loaner car. Cadillac sent Sewell a new engine, which Sewell installed. Sewell brought my car back and took the loaner...

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner

    Excellent. Congratulations and welcome. My 5BW is a great car. My only suggestion, that I offer to all new owners, is to apply acceleration smoothly. A sudden application of all 668 hp will make it try to swap ends. (don’t ask how I know!)

    “Open the pod bay door, Hal!” “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that”

    I was never in the military. I was in the Air Force.

    Excellent. Well done. I’m 86. The only thing I can get under is a blanket.

    Ok. I flew the 757. Beautiful aircraft. It would climb like a rocket. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

    New CT4V owner

    I’m not a mechanic (and I didn’t play one in TV), so the best suggestion I could offer is to take it to a Cadillac dealer’s service center. (rcole757? Did you fly one or is that your birthday?)

    Melon totals a 1LE & buys a Blackwing.

    Nice. I don’t know what they do to get that bright shade of blue.
