    CT5-V Ikon anti-theft

    Why would someone pay for a GPS tracker hard installed when you can use your phone for free on demand?? Isn't the basic OnStar stuff free that includes this if you want it (I don't want my car back if it's stolen).

    CT5-V Steel option for CCB rotors

    The steel setup has the same braking power as the CCBs on the 5BW with no fade on track in my experience. Hence the real reason for me to own CCBs is to have clean wheels. My current car has steelies but I'm barely getting to the track these days so my next car might have CCBs instead (no...

    CT5-V Dumb Question: Lug Nut Part Number?

    Are you going with the black OEM locks or not worried about theft?

    Secret/Hidden compartments

    My phone (S25 Ultra) fits the wireless charger and the wired charger with no problem during the most aggressive driving. Can readily keep a G27 in a Galco holster in the center console (I miss the V3's CD holder pocket in the glove box that was perfect for a weapon.)

    CT5-V CT5 Evaporator Purge Emissions Pump letter from GM

    Aha. I think this is the issue I had a couple of months ago. Dealership replaced the evap canister and the CEL came back a couple of days later with the same code.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    By all accounts, if you're in the market for an EV, Lucid is a top choice. If you're really interested, look at used Air Tourings. 2022s are going for low 60s on AutoTrader.

    Cargo organizer

    Ive got some sort of trunk organizer almost similar - same size and shape but it has Velcro flaps as covers (and no straps) that I need to keep things in place in the corners. Mine is full of cleaning supplies car vacuum, etc.. Not for groceries (I have large insulated totes from Costco for that.)

    Silver State Classic Challenge

    If I lived anywhere close, I'd try this one. Sounds like fun!

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    Just grab it with the R compounds and order the OEM 4S from Costco or somewhere to swap on for daily usem. I'd keep the R compounds for track day only (and when I wear them out, get the extended 240 wear variant at Costco.)

    Precision Package Owners - How is it?

    Is the PP out and on the street already?

    Long term reliability of the 5BW LT4 unmodified

    I buy them at RockAuto, typically a lot less and install myself (I don't know of a dealer that will use parts they didn't order even if it's in the same OEM boxes.)

    Patch this tire or replace?

    I've used the rubber strip with rubber glue type thing many times in the past with no issues but I upgraded to the mushroom plug a few years ago. It's the only way I know of that allows you to keep the tire mounted and seal the hole from the inside.

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Mark 1 + Waze work well for me.

    Considering buying a buyback 5BW - blown motor issues resolved?

    So true on the e9xs. I still have an e90 M3 but scared to drive it after all the engine work is required! It just sits on the battery tender while I enjoy the 5BW and hopefully see the e90 resale value creep up.

    Upcoming 11 hr drive in 5BW through cold and some rain. Thoughts?

    Once you're moving, no problem..stopping and turning at slow speeds in the 20s can be dicey and last I read, you will get microfractures in the rubber. Not sure what that would mean for durability or track use...YMMV.

    About to Order, Engine Failure Questions

    I'm not a fan of the XTs (nothing wrong with them and absolutely not a single thing exciting about them) but with them all going away, I fear Cadillac is being a bit too obstinate with an all-EV strategy. They need to read the room better because mainstream America and the ruling pols are giving...

    How much of that noise is fake?

    For $15, not bad. Would love to know what difference they make in a BW.

    When Do You Change Your Oil?

    About every 3500 - 5000 miles. I do some at the dealership and the in-betweens at home.

    Rear view mirror adjustment

    If my experience is typical, your eyes will adjust IF you commit 100% to the camera mirror. Between my 5BW and prior V3, I've got over 100k miles with the camera mirror and vastly prefer it to a regular glass mirror.
