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...

It's very complicated: You press the Unlock button, and the car unlocks. :) Seriously, once you disable the fob the way I described, you're only disabling the remote sensing/broadcasting capability of the fob. The key fob still works like a normal remote fob, in which you have to manually...

If that's the case then I give up. But that's not my understanding (I could very well be wrong).

Yes, and? Similarly, a Faraday pouch only "disables" the key that's in it. I'm not following your comment. What other key fob would you want to disable?

With regard to traveling... Toyota does something that I wish other manufacturers would do. They have a simple button press sequence (press and hold Lock, then press Unlock twice while Lock still held, look for fob to flash four times) that disables the key, no need for Faraday pouch. Wish...

Of course. Is this not standard procedure nowadays?

It's an indication of *past* designs, apparently. From the article: When you look at the front corners, you see the '22-24 5BW. The '25 design has already moved away from this. Look at the split in the vertical light bar. Also, I second the comment that it needs a MT. Not matter how nice...

It was HOT these past few days in the Atlanta area. Mid 90s at least and humid yesterday. This is me after circling the lot, trying to find *any* shade possible, as well as finding a spot away from other cars.

"Alternative" doesn't seem like quite the right word to me. "Complement" seems so much better. Enjoy each type of vehicle for what it is. I love manual transmission vehicles and love different types of vehicles. Hence the 5BW, GR Corolla, GR 86 (my daughter's car), Bronco, various...

In this situation I'd back in. You get close, show some solidarity with another BW, keep a gap to the third spot, and open your driver's side door to the other side.
