    Order bank open date 2025 CT5V BW?

    I get that. My bw was the most expensive car purchase I'd ever made by over 2x. I knew it was what I wanted but pulling that trigger was tough without even seeing one in person. I couldn't be happier with mine but the chance to see one and maybe take it for a drive would have been extremely...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    It's a bit too inclement around Chicago to keep driving my bw. I turned down the insurance and put her away for the winter over the weekend.

    2025 CT5 & CT5-V Blackwing Order Support Guide

    If only that were the case. I was 3+ months after it was built before delivery in Oct 2022, and that was a significant improvement over other blackwings.

    Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

    I got mine up to almost 3500 miles over the weekend. Not much driving left for it this year. Getting ready to put it into hibernation.

    planning a CT4VBW M6

    Please don't get the red mirror covers. That red look doesn't do it for me. The spec otherwise sounds great.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    As much as we drifted into politics and religion here, there was no name calling and it was brought up in a mature intelligent manner. People aren't denigrating each other, which is encouraging. I agree that nobody will be changing their minds here, especially two weeks after the election...

    I would have hoped your dealer would have contacted you that you received an allocation first before finding it out from the chatbot.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I'm very close to retiring. I just had a couple of conversations about it yesterday. I'm 54 and not enjoying my job a whole bunch. It is easy, my boss likes me, and I don't have a lot of daily responsibilities anymore. I guess that is what happens when you are at a job for many years and get...

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    I'm on trifocals as well. It just took me a few weeks to get comfortable with it. I agree that the clarity and crispness isn't there, but for me the other pluses make it worthwhile. I find this to be one of those newer car features that is a love it or hate it feature. There don't seem to be...

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    It took me a couple of weeks to get used to the mirror. Hated it at the start. I love it now. Much more visibility. I have it in both of my cars.

    Funky Trunk

    I've begun doing the same in my cars as well. I grabbed a package from a different place on Amazon earlier this year.

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    The insides on all 4 were scratched. The shop I had for the PPF found it. They also found a plastic undercarriage piece that was broken as well. The dealer had their wheel shop come out and repair the wheels while their service dept ordered me the replacement plastic cover.

    Check the wheels as well. All 4 of mine were damaged by the car carrier and had to be repaired.

    Makes me wish they used transport wheels on my bw. All 4 were damaged by the car carrier.

    Now you have me wondering. Where was it? Was it Schaumburg?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I’m at the dealer getting the oil changed. Only about 1k miles in the last year but I have to do it. I decided to go over to the showroom now that it has been rebuilt and saw a new ct5. I wasn’t impressed with the headlight update. I really liked it in the pictures but up close in person I...
