    Be safe out there folks

    There's videos out there. Apparently that stretch of road is popular for showing off and driving like a maniac so there's always kids filming.

    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    Detectors are the same class of offense as tint or front plate meaning they can't use that as the sole reason to pull you over. Furthermore even if you do get cited it's a fixit ticket. They've really watered it down from the old days of officers confiscating them.

    CT5-V New '26 5BW: Some Annoyances

    You can try updating the firmware as newer firmware has better false-positive filters. The V1Driver app may also help you eliminate false-positives. It costs $10, but is cheaper than getting a different detector.

    CT5-V 2025 CT5V BW battery dead, drivers manual key entry not functional

    Here's another option: 1. Remove the front bottom plastic cover so you can access the hood release cable. 2. Pull on the cable to access the hood (this assumes the CT5 routes the hood cable the same as the CTS in the video) 3. Charge or jump-start the car

    CT5-V 2025 CT5V BW battery dead, drivers manual key entry not functional

    Since you can access underneath, maybe try supplying power to the starter via jumper cable? That should get you enough power to open a door. Sadly this is an area where the 4 is better than the 5. The 4 retains the mechanical door locks so if you lose power you can still open the door.

    Media dumps

    GM shareholders should remove the entire leadership team for ending not one but two lines of cars that have been permanently on the C&D Top 10 since release. No other automaker is that dumb. :cautious:

    Your Blackwing in the snow

    I got to see the "ABS activated" notification for the first time going down the hill of my development. Would have been cool except that road "T"s into a four lane divided highway so a minor bit of pucker was experienced. But I was now FULLY awake for the rest of the drive into work.

    Fire Extinguishers (Running Methanol)

    What was wrong about the Elements? It is marketed as a safe way to extinguish automotive fires without also contributing to the destruction of the car (wiring, etc).

    CT4 brake pads - 2 part numbers

    Almost every aftermarket pad has less dust than OEM. I went with Powerstop but others have had good results with other brands.

    Summer tires in cold weather ?

    I can't speak to how many tires had to be replaced, but I've heard about Camaros and the like needing new tires after spending too long outside the factory in Michigan winter weather. Apparently GM got enough customer complaints that they issued this service bulletin back in 2016 (#16-NA-296):

    3D Modeld and Printed my own Intake. Pics inside 26' CT5

    Really cool design. With the material you used, do you know the thermal properties? A quick search says basic PLA-CF starts to get soft at 140-150F.
