    Wheel Repair Fail

    Conclusion: 4 months, 3 unsuccessful refinishing attempts, 8 (!) separate visits to the dealer, countless unreturned phone calls, and a whole lot of headache, and I was finally given a new wheel. To add insult to injury, after being told it would take about 45 minutes, I had to wait at the...

    Wheel Repair Fail

    It really sucks, because the car is a great overall package aside from that albatross of a powertrain. And not all turbo 4's are necessarily bad, but this one was bad. I asked myself, could I live with this groaning mess of an engine if the rest of the vehicle is good? No, no I could not. That...

    Wheel Repair Fail

    I was so XT6-curious that I actually went to a local Chevy dealer to test drive the new Traverse as a possible family hauler when my wife's Nissan Rogue lease is done. The Traverse itself looks great (especially in RS trim), the tech is cool, the car has massive amounts of space and it has super...

    Wheel Repair Fail

    You know something, I know in my head that this is a warmed over Traverse; a totally phoned-in effort by Cadillac; and considered an also-ran in the segment even from the day of its release, but it's true! The stupid thing is comfortable, smooth, quiet, hugely practical, easy to drive... I...

    Wheel Repair Fail

    This saga is still ongoing. They've tried to fix it twice now and have failed miserably. Last time I was told they were going to angle for a new wheel since it's seemingly unfixable, so I've been driving a loaner XT6 for the last two weeks. Kind of enjoying the XT6 though, tbh

    CT4 BW Bridgestone Potenza All Seasons?

    I have PSAS4's and the difference really is marginal.

    Cadillac V Performance Day @ New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP)

    This sounds awesome and like something I would totally consider abandoning my family for, at least for the day. Unfortunately I'm away that weekend, bah!

    Hopefully it won't come to that but I'll keep it in mind, thanks!

    Wheel Repair Fail

    I don't think the wheels are actually chrome, they're just mirror-polished. I would think they could theoretically go a couple levels finer in polishing them and at least get close], but wth do I know... In any event, it looked better with the curb rash, which was really rather minor. I know a...

    Wheel Repair Fail

    Yup, the more I think about it, I don't think it's even possible for Joe Wheel Repairman to actually fix this.

    Wheel Repair Fail

    I'd never bought wheel and tire protection before (though I should have for my wife's lease, in retrospect), but I figured the peace of mind in this situation was worth it. I can see why they wouldn't want to replace it, a new wheel from Cadillac probably costs like 800 bucks

    Wheel Repair Fail

    It took 2 years, but I managed to curb one of my wheels (I know, shame on me). No problem, though. I have wheel and tire protection! Took it to the dealer to get refinished along with some outstanding recall/service campaign on the wiring harness or something. As an aside, I was promised a...

    My BlackWing has been relieved of its duties...

    I recently had some time and decided to satisfy my curiosity by test driving a few EV's. I tried the Cadillac Lyriq, Tesla Model Y, Mustang Mach-E and Ioniq5. The Cadillac was the best, but also the most expensive so it well should be. The Tesla drove really well but the controls were stupid...
