    Seems unlikely that I'm going to get my car built... Has Cadillac stated if this will be a single year run, or that they going to offer the BW line next year?

    Dark Emerald Frost Allocation

    Um, why do they get to pick the color?!? If the order can still be updated to add options, WTF?

    0500 order status

    My initial paperwork says 1100, which was probably WB automatically accepting the order. This suggests the dealer 'pushed the button' and the automation took the order, but then it was kicked back due to allocation games... Been a loyal GM customer for years, and I was thinking of replacing our...

    The vegas dealers were noncommittal, so I went to PHX…

    I would think that most shops would use templates as much as possible, as they reduce waste and therefore COGS. Never wrapped a car, so maybe I'm wrong. Seems like you could free-hand it easy enough, you just end up with a lot more waste. Either way, it's still just flat sheet film, just a...

    If you get a chance to ask, I'd really like to know if I'm going to have an allocation issue. I called customer care, they were... not helpful.

    If a dentist can take a 2 minutes of 3D pictures of someone's mouth and produce a near perfect retainer, these shops should be able to do the same, and 'custom' cut a set of sheets for a car that's mostly flat bits, right?

    Non-black Black-wing?

    I don't get out to TX much anymore, but maybe if you come out here for the V school.

    Non-black Black-wing?

    I imagine you can call it anything but late for dinner. ;)

    Non-black Black-wing?

    Easy killer ;) I suspect he's thinking a black plastic tab stuck on the back is more in line with what the ricer crowd would do to a second-hand Honda, rather than a near 6-figure, factory-built speed machine. Unpainted bits aren't really my thing, but legit CF is a whole other class of kit!

    Who here will be getting the carbon fiber packages?

    I've got an order placed... but I'm worried about GM doing some allocation nonsense and canceling it because my dealer doesn't do enough V business. Or that because I skipped the 250/waitlist because I don't care about the special edition plaque. I guess time will tell. Put money down, and got...

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    Nice! I'm a bit upset they didn't offer a second version of those wheels- I like them so much more than the standard, and they look great on nearly any color but Satin Steel. :(

    Does a Blackwing Escalade soften the brand?

    Been seeing the spy shots, and people talking about whether or not the Escalade with the CT5 BW engine (that's... not a Blackwing?) will be called a Blackwing. So, my question is, if they decide to call it a BW, does that soften the brand? I realize that having a 3-ton, top-heavy behemoth share...

    Head Rest - Adjustable?

    There is an optional leather pouch for the seatback if that helps: Not exactly the same thing, and it appears to have kind of an ugly clip that you see from the front.

    Head Rest - Adjustable?

    I'm kind of curious about the headrests too. They don't look adjustable, but there is some language somewhere about the seating being 'helmet friendly' or some such phrase so even fixed they should sit back a decent amount... As long as they're not forcing me to chose between staring at my knees...

    Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)

    I'm entirely too practical for my own good... The build I want is: But all I can see is a very loud daily driver, with too light a color on the armrests for ma schwetty elbows, and I'd love to look at it- others would too, and I don't want to be looked at! So, I'm going with: Honestly...

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    At least it's fixable- Ford was driving me nuts last year with their site! I was thinking about a Bronco and discovered a similar issue on their B&P. Any selection that required an auto would make the manual transmission option drop off the tool... And short of completely backing out of the...

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    So, I just noticed as I was playing around with with different configurations, that if you select the red seatbelts the tan seats go away. Were you guys messing with red seatbelts at some point? I happened to notice that the tan was unavailable, then I clicked over to the interior page and...

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    I don't know the official, but generally I think a Mg product will be about 20-25% lighter at an equivalent strength. I just checked from a completely different computer and the tan option is still there. So, it's not still showing it because it's cached or something- it does in fact exist.

    The Blackwings Build & Price Tool is Live!

    That's pretty slick! Years ago, I was told to break in my motorcycle by keeping the RPM low in general like the manual says; but after warming it up, doing a couple smooth runs up to redline would help seat the rings and such. Not max-effort launches, just keep rolling on throttle. Guess...
