    Towing / Trailering Tie Down Points/ Methods / Lessons Learned

    I don't have any photos when I towed my 5BW or C8 to VIR & CMP but I used: Tie down straps on the front wheels (like a tire net but without the expense of a tire net -- see attached example). You'll need to find tie down points on the side of the trailer or underneath. The trailer I rented had...

    Motorcycles, anyone?

    Don't get me wrong -- I don't hate on bikers. I've just seen/heard about too many bikers getting seriously injured/killed (including a coworker & another was good friend) through no fualt of their own. Granted, there's accepting & mitigating risk in anything that one does. (Eg, is driving on the...

    CT5-V Sun Visor Warning Label Cover

    Thanks for the informative instructions! Even though there is minor residual still on the visor, I agree -- it looks 1000% better than the warning sticker. I'm gonna have to try your method with a heat gun bc I like the clean look over a covering sticker. Did you remove the visor or just left...

    Motorcycles, anyone?

    Don't get me wrong -- I think motorcycles are great. (I'd own one except I know I'd be mortally injured in no time flat.) Rarely is it the rider's fault when something bad happens. Moreover, the margin for error to escape major injury is so very small. I've just seen too much badness both...

    Motorcycles, anyone?

    There's a reason why, we in the front-line medical field, call them donor-cycles. If you've been this lucky thus far, I wouldn't push it any further. Distracted drivers are getting worse & more plentiful. Don't become a statistic.

    CT5-V Sun Visor Warning Label Cover

    Anyone know if there's a stick on to cover up the warning labels on the sun visors? I find those things to be so ugly. I've ordered them from FleaBay for the C8 but doesn't look like anyone (not even Savage) makes them for the CT5. If I can't find them to purchase, I might have to DIY something.

    CT5-V CT5V Blackwing Winter Storage

    I really feel for you guys/gals that have to do this. Especially with the Michelin AS tires I just installed, I'll be driving Pegasus all winter long in North Cackalacky. If we get even an inch of snow here in Raleigh, it'll be snowpocalypse and I'll probably have to drive my F-150 for a day...

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    Caddy made the CTS-V Wagon in 2011-2014. There were ~2000 sold. In a straight line, the automatic tranny version was (slightly) faster than than the coupe or the sedan bc of its shape. I think there were <400 MT versions sold. I saw one at a track event at VIR in 2013 driven by a Novice student...

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    When I'm driving, I don't see what the exterior of the vehicle looks like. I'm just enjoying the visceral experience. The interior touch surfaces are acceptable & the seats are comfortable enough for me. I don't really care what she looks like from the outside. Yes, I'm into her personality &...

    Software update letter from Cadillac?

    Weird. I got the letter for my C8 but not the 5BW (yet). I had the C8 in for the recall a few weeks ago.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    Any interest in competitive shooting or just learning to handle/use a firearm? Triangle Shooting Academy is a great place to try out shooting. They have rental weapons & the ppl there are knowledgeable & friendly. As for a replacement for the C6 for track duty, I think the BRZ/FRS is a great...

    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    I didn't even consider anything German bc I wanted the MT. Had the 5BW not come in MT, I'd have kept my MY20 Wide-Body Charger Hellcat.

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    The photo is misleading bc there is no gap. The hub part of the spacer is beveled so it gives the appearance of not hugging the hub lip but it does.

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    Looks like the listing changed as when I took into my Purchase History, it also lists the 12mm spacers. I got the 6mm spacers.

    You should  ask demand your dealer refund your "gas guzzler" tax! This is absolutely unacceptable!

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    The OEM studs seemed to have enough meat on them for my setup so no need for longer stuffs. YMMV.
