I did this as well. But this is my future retirement stick shift car. I don't plan on selling it. It will never see a track, but it will have the cleanest wheels!
The only other car I considered was a new Acura Integra. But then it didn't do much for me so I passed. When shopping I was only looking to replace my 4 door 6MT car with another one. If I hadn't found a good manual transmission car with 4 doors, I would have kept my bmw.
I happily drove a 15 year old Honda Odyssey up until it hit about 172,000 miles and had some serious engine problems. I have 4 kids and it started as my ex-wife's daily driver, then we got her a new odyssey and kept it as a backup family car. I started dailying it when I realized how great a...
86 is the code from the vin number for the manual transmission. 323 represents the 323rd manual transmission ct5v blackwing produced for that model year.
Thank you so much for this info. My daughter cracked up her cr-v a couple of weeks ago. she spun out on the highway in a snowstorm did a 180 and ended up at the center median with airbags deployed. she was fine and didn't hit anyone. However she sustained some serious damage. at least one...
The typhoon green makes me think about getting a new one. However my 23 only has 2200 miles after 15 months. I just can't see getting into the rodeo again just for a color, let alone the additional money..
I had multiple issues at delivery. All 4 wheels were scratched by the car carrier. For various reasons it took almost 3 weeks with my car at the dealer for them to get fixed.
I had to go back to the dealer 3 days after delivery because their temp finance guy didn't fill out some of the...
When I took my Lexus in for service over the summer for its first annual checkup they told me they would replace the remote battery as part of the service. I assumed (my mistake) that it would be free of charge. My old Honda dealer always replaced my Odyssey remote batteries free of charge. I...
As my blackwing wound up getting shipped from Lansing the clutch went out on my 2013 535i. $4,200 to replace both clutch and flywheel at 76,000 miles. I felt that was a bit steep on a 9 year old car.
Taking this for what it is worth. Spring mountain has a contract with Cadillac thru 2028. No idea if that means more blackwings or maybe racing electric vehicles in the future.
A couple of weeks ago I went to take out my bw. It was lightly sprinkling out. I didn't even get out of my driveway. I pulled it right back in and took my other car. I didn't want to get the black car dirty and have to wash it in the cold weather.
I stalled mine the night I bought it. I wound up having to do a 3 point turn. That is challenging by itself in a 5BW with the huge turning radius, but when you add an unfamiliar new clutch that only has a couple dozen shifts up until that point......
