    Blue CT4-V BW coming off Malabar Road onto the 95 north bound ramp in Palm Bay, FL. Raining and heavy traffic, so what I really "saw" was no opportunity for a nice send up the ramp 😜 :)

    Used Value Trend

    yeah $81+6 or 7 for the tax gap. Plus the convenience factor of just trading it in.

    Used Value Trend

    good memory! we never investigated with the dealer. my continued weekend experience still says it's not 6th gear, it's exhaust/tire droning above 80. Yes, has a sunroof. Window sticker attached and the car is in the registry. I want $81k from the dealer, which essentially returns our down money...

    General configuration questions

    try Bergey's (formerly Armen) in Plymough Meeting, PA (20-30 minutes west of Philly). Ask for Tony. Smaller dealer, sold at MSRP, no BS add-ons.

    Radiant Red 5 automatic at Tasca Cadillac in Melbourne, FL. Unfortunately, on a lift.... Service Manager said he was delivered two weeks ago and at 700 miles, the engine blew up.

    Steering wheel data plate

    8 = 5 6 = manual (so 81 would be a 5 auto) 475 = the 475th build CT5vBW during the 2023 model year (note, there could be a 81-475 as well)

    Is this a shipping block?!

    as breakdowns tend to go - some dark road, late, raining... the flatbed finally shows up with a steep ramp. How are the shipping blocks reinstalled?

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Replying to my own message.... I jinxed it. Airport bar, wearing the BW 1/4 zip, 20s something guy says, "owe, you have a Cadillac V?" Yes. Then, "is it a Blackwing?" Yep. We have a good car conversation. He leaves. My wife says, "you don't have a BW". Huh, what? She points to the logo. This!

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    approaching 2 years with 11,000 miles (debadged) and no one has ever asked if it is a Blackwing. Lots of questions, stares and head snaps, but people just don't know what it is and I love it. Edit for addition - and when I say it's a manual, they say, "oh like with paddles? those are cool." NO...

    Gear whine (6 speed 5)

    100% a concern! I moved 155 miles away from a trusted dealer and am pondering having her flat-bedded there as I have no interest in driving 12 hours - 3 there and back to drop off and pick up.

    Gear whine (6 speed 5)

    thanks for all the inputs. I forgot a word - vibration. It is present in 6th at 80 and ramps up noticeably as it accelerate further. Son said at 90, 90+ he felt it in the floor and seat back. Shifted to 5th, vibration and "drone" gone. Guess I'll take it in. Partially because we don't enjoy...

    Black 5 Saturday afternoon, Malabar Road in Palm Bay. I suspect the same one I saw 5-6 months ago ripping on 528 towards Orlando

    Gear whine (6 speed 5)

    Hi all. Manual 2022 5BW here. Since day one (now 11,000 miles) the car has had an annoying "drone" while cruising on the highway. At 80+ it gets really bad and we have suspected it was either the tires or the exhaust. Now we have a new culprit?.... the gear box? Our son is an certified Volvo...
