Oh, man. I've actually described ABQ to friends as a "small Houston"! The Houston Metro area is basically the same stuff repeated over and over for 10,000 square miles. ABQ feels like one section of Houston. So it has only 1 CarMax, whereas Houston Metro has 6. Only place I might be...

Grats and welcome! I'm in the Houston Metro area. I have visited ABQ and Santa Fe a few times over the past few years, doing recon on locations for a potential move. I'm very much looking forward to my next trip, when I will be taking my 4BW. Maybe I'm a masochist, but I love, love...

Yeah, upper 30s and rainy here in Houston. Car will break loose in first 3 gears on wet asphalt. How the %#@$ do the 5BW guys even drive their cars???? I'm really digging that caliper color with the Rift and Tech Bronze. I have red calipers, but if I were to spec a car from scratch I would...

Have you messed with the Surround setting? On my 4BW it sounded like most of the sound was coming out of the front center of the dash. As I cranked the Surround setting up, the sound seemed be more distributed around the cabin - and just sounded generally better. But it still does not sound...

This is the way.

The registry isn't voluntary, though. Rob controls it. He has access to the production data and intends to eventually enter every Blackwing.

Isn't that what Rob is doing with the registry? You owe no one any apologies. And as OldGoat said, I begrudge you nothing. But I understand the "feel a little bad" thing. When I finally got my '23 4BW there still three '22 5BWs in the tracker. I was just like, "This isn't right." I...

Welcome, fellow Houston-area dude! What part of town? I'm down in the southwest suburbs off of Highway 6, but those houses remind me of the area I grew up in on the northwest side off of Antoine.

Another Rift + Tech Bronze checking in. That color combo seems like it is all over this board. But the registry shows that for MY '22 only 27 4BWs and 44 5BWs have it. You and I are '23, of course, and it will be interesting to see whether the combo is more popular in the 2nd year. I...

If someone can figure out how to build a aftermarket kit that makes this flow visible to onlookers, they are going to get very rich. It will probably be only a few months before the kits are outlawed. But those few months will be glorious.

Who is in the car with you? And what constitutes a "hot lap"? I've seen plenty of videos of people spanking cars at Spring Mountain solo. Sorry, not trying to be argumentative or a dick. I'm just genuinely confused.

For the PDR that loop recording is controlled by a setting, and that setting was off by default when I got my car.

Grats and welcome! Mine was my first since I was 17. Got it a few months shy of 40 years after getting rid of my prior American-designed vehicle.

This Camaro wearing a CT4 face is platform-sharing done wrong. It is old school "badge engineering". It is a case study in the negative image that I have had of Cadillac since the Cimarron. The CT4 is platform-sharing done right. If someone wanted to design a Cadillac coupe, that design...

My sales guys told me that they never mount them on Blackwings unless the customer specifically asks for it. This is Sewell - Houston.

Dropped by the dealer this weekend to pic up my registration. The Rift (left) vs White (right) difference is pretty subtle in this shot.

I just confirmed that my first payment went through. 59 more to go - unless I am able to pay it off early.

I did some googling about "controlled allocation". Found a 15-year-old post on a Corvette forum. That post said "controlled allocation" did not mean GM was artificially reducing supply. It said that during times when demand was known to exceed supply (which is the case now), GM applies a...

Installed a no-drill front license plate mount from Sly Brackets, with the optional "License Plate Leveler". Was inspired by how well it worked on KatyTxCT5V 's 5BW in this thread. I don't hate it. The car looks way better without it, of course. But I think this looks better than the OEM...

I'm with Sewell in Houston. It took 4 months for my car to be built, and another 4 months for it to be delivered. Looks like the backlog has been really reduced. I'm a rare one. Mine was bone stock except for the wheels and tires. Replaced the 19s with 18s when it came time for new tires...
