I'll be honest with you, I know many high end collectors that do not own a Rolex. And the ones that do have much older models, not the newer ones. They make a decent watch, especially considering they pump out around 1 million pieces per year. So many people want them just because the name is...

I don't have one, and never will. I guess I am not a serious collector. That is A-OK with me.

That car is so BEAUTIFUL!! PS, am I the only guy with a set of OEM black lugs sitting on the shelf?? I thought you bought some too. I have been meaning to throw mine on. I'll get to it one of these days.

I LOVE looking at other more exotic cars. My son and I will walk some of the local lots with Ferraris, Astons, McLarens, etc. I admire how incredible the styling is on so many of them. Certainly I would be pleased to add a nice 2 door coupe long term. But as drool worthy as those other cars...

That's what it is all about for me. For others it might be a Z06, or a BMW, or whatever. Regardless of the selection, I find it rewarding to have one that makes you forget about the others.

Blackwing is not for everyone. You gotta want a sedan. A handful of members bought one and then traded for a vette. Some then dumped the vette. But there are others here who bought a CT5-V Blackwing in manual and have exhaled knowing we have a forever car. That's a great feeling.

How do you think I paid for the car?? ;) I have owned some spectacular pieces over many years. But as I age, I am minimizing material possessions. I have some inexpensive watches that I enjoy just as much as pricier ones. That is what the passion is all about. I am not a brand guy, and am...

I was torn between the white Speedy and the FOIS. My dealer had one of each and told me to choose. The dial on the FOIS is spectacular, but I have other pieces that are similar. Snow White was a good departure for me, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't go wrong either way.

For a regular V, you can just count in your head :ROFLMAO: For a Blackwing... this is more my style.

For the Omega fans.

They are decent enough. I have owned a handful over almost 25 years now. I have never needed a service on a Panerai watch, and most models are simple enough that any competent watchmaker can handle a typical movement overhaul. Strap options galore, easily changed at your desk. I settled on a...

Great spec, lot of options for the price. GLWS!

Beautiful! My neighbor has one and rarely takes it out. I believe it is the same color as yours. Next time I see him I will ask. Thanks for your reply, Fish!

This is the 6MT CT5-V Blackwing special sauce, perfectly summarized. I could not agree more!

Yikes, I also forgot there are two of you! The other guy bailed and bought a Miata. Congrats on your new 5! Have you driven one yet? The driving experience is unlike any other. The manual Supercharged V8 is nothing short of brutal... and I mean that in the highest regard possible!

1. 6 years 70k powertrain warranty 2. There are over 5000 CT5-V Blackwings produced from 22-24. Somewhere you can find a thread on our forum where a guy lists every one he has found on the internet with a motor failure. It is maybe 30 or 35 cars? Out of 5000+. I'm not worried about mine. If...

I guess I never noticed how the 4 hood edge sits noticeably higher than the adjacent trim piece. Looks real pronounced on that purple car.

The book covers 20 years of V, so probably nothing on the 2025 precision package. I know it covers some of the limited version sticker cars like the Atlanta, Sebring, etc. And the 2023 120 cars. I don't have the book in front of me, but don't think it has the limited 20 cars for 2024.

As long as this is your thread, share a few pix of the 350! Bet you LOVE it (y)
