    5BW 6sp - have you changed your shift knob?

    if you’ve read the procedure it does work. It’s very difficult to see the right spots to pry until you find them the first time. The slot is very narrow and suggest these tools. https://a.co/d/fs2BCs8

    Auto vs. Manual

    First time Caddy owner here and MT was the only reason I didn’t choose something else. But, so glad I did. The car is pleasing on so many levels. The transmission is much smoother than I thought it would be and effortless.

    What were your must have options?

    It’s more in line with the aesthetics and car personality IMO. The GM implementation on the BW is weak. My AMG had the entire roof black glass and that was pretty cool.

    CT4-V CF Packages

    I almost got completely wiped out in my AMG on the interstate. Big rig rear tire exploded like a bomb and shit was flying through the air in all directions. I had to take evasive braking and pull to the shoulder to avoid some serious impact. There was a big enough piece in the air that could...

    What were your must have options?

    It’s probably best to only use a dashcam if you’re less an idiot than the majority of idiots on the road. Ask for an honest opinion from someone who knows you well and has a right sized ego that doesn’t prevent an unbiased assessment.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    I love the smell of motor oil in the morning.

    What were your must have options?

    I’m very happy with my 22 5BW. Prefer the dash and front end over the 25-26s. Shadow (awesome), 6-spd, CCB, CF backed seats, no sunroof (a must for me), $102K and added OEM CF1 for $5K. Hard to beat and the best part is sitting in the stands watching the rodeo.

    Am I the only one here interested in vintage vehicles?

    Nice. It counts if you want it to. I tend to think of vintage as broadly around the post modern era. For example I have some 1978 Bose 601 speakers I would call vintage. Same goes for the 1970s Sansui receivers which are worth a small fortune today.

    Am I the only one here interested in vintage vehicles?

    I've had a few of them, although when I owned them they were not exactly vintage. The Camaro was very reliable, and I put a crate engine in it. The best part is no cats. The 69 Vette was a PITA with the 427 Tri-Power. If you don't know what that is, you're lucky. The engine used 100 octane gas...

    Fob Left in the Car Honk

    Never had that happen that I can remember. First thing I would do is change the battery on the FOB.

    Dealer Deleted PDR recordings

    I don’t see what all the fuss is about, does your car have some damage? The service tech was probably just having sex and doing blow in your car and that wouldn’t be picked up on the PDR anyway.

    Lug nut torque question

    It’s not that usual, my Dynatrac axles on my Jeep use 9/16 lug nuts and torque spec is 150ft*lb. In the case of the BW I would think the torque spec is in relation to high load conditions on the track.

    Lug nut torque question

    I would not use Aluminum lug nuts for several reasons, but mainly the much lower tensile strength. Use recommended torque spec so you don’t crash into another forum members car when your wheel comes off. McGard and call it a day.

    So, who keeps track of the used car market prices?

    I’m not looking for another car right now. But if I were I might include the IS500 F Sport. I have a soft spot for NA V8s.
