If you want a convertible, get the Lexus. If you want a manual transmission, get the 5BW--it's really good. If you want an automatic I don't have any advice, other than to say that I've driven that same Toyota V8/auto combination in a different model and, while the engine itself is fantastic...

As always, timing is everything. 9 months ago I'd have jumped at the chance to get a Blue Flame GRC Circuit Edition at MSRP. But with the updates I can totally see people waiting for the '25s.

I guess I can see why some people might like this, but I can count the number of times I've wanted to replicate the paddle shift experience on zero hands.

I'm happy to own a 5BW and a GR Corolla, but would note that Doug specifically said that the GR Corolla Circuit Edition (second highest trim level in 2023, highest trim level in 2024) is the one that would be a future classic. Probably the 2023 Morizo edition as well--but he's talking about...

Not a big deal relative to the rest of your build but ..... There's a thread about whether to get the sunroof or not. I'm in the "no sunroof" camp. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/i-see-a-lot-of-people-not-liking-the-sunroof-option.4663/

I think you're doing it wrong. One of the benefits of buying used is that it's already not pristine and new, no reason to be especially concerned about minor wear--because it already has that! You said yourself, it's an 8/10 with minor blemishes. It's not going to get appreciably worse, so...

Well this is interesting. GM is checking paint quality now? When did that start? Seems like a positive development. ;) Like others have said, goat rodeo, nothing new. At one point once your car was built you were within 6-12 months of GM sending it to you. 2022 was particularly bad, as...

In addition to the buckteeth on the front of the car, I also don't like the ugly gauge cluster, personally. Wouldn't be a deal breaker if I loved the rest of the car, but it's a negative in my opinion. FWIW, my Ford Bronco has perhaps the single worst gauge cluster I've ever seen, even worse...

I like the dark mode better, no need to change!

I like to say I "picked up" another CT5-V, literally. Then show people this:

I don't even have a break pedal on my car. At least I hope not.

My vote is "no carbon fiber." I know why people like it, both interior (seats) and exterior. It looks great. However, I like the stealth look. And I *know* I'd scrape the front splitter given some ridiculous speed bumps I sometimes have to go over. My car has no carbon fiber and is...

Totally your call, but I'd be partial to the other side of the state. Get up close to the "mountains" (I know, people in the west don't think so, but the important thing is that there are some *fantastic* roads there) without being in North Carolina (higher cost of gas, annual inspections...

Speaking of cruise control... Did Cadillac ever offer adaptive cruise control on the MT cars? (I don't recall that they did, but I've not been paying close attention.) On my '22 5BW MT I don't have adaptive cruise control. I didn't think about it much at first, but I confess that it does...

Just going to leave this quote, completely out of context. :) 18:42 of the video: "You know what would fix that is a manual transmission."

Perhaps it depends on the person, but I wouldn't hesitate to teach someone close to me. I've had great success teaching friends and family by covering some basics first. Show the student that if things go wrong (and they will at some point), they just need to press the clutch firmly and...

You can't leave us hanging like that. What bike did you get?? Take some classes, once you get the hang of it. Lots of options out there. Keith Code is a one that I've done. You'll learn a lot about riding (and driving).

You can't post about a motor failure without noting who built it! You know, the name right on it. Yes, we're aware it's almost certainly not that person's fault, but we need *something* to speculate about!

Or be in a place where theft isn't an issue. I grew up in a very small town, and I get laughed at when I go back and I lock my car. No need to lock your car (or your house, if you were to leave for a week) there. We lived in the country and sometimes we'd go to town for shopping or whatever...

Not my car, but spotted at the Alanis Morissette concert this past Saturday night in Alpharetta, Georgia. Anyone on the list? 5BW, Black Raven, blue calipers, A10. Whoever it is, lots of respect to you. I'd be hesitant to take my 5BW to a concert like this. Lots of dust, little ability to...
