Very cool. Congratulations !! Was it half the cost of the new car ? Post 1/4 mile times when you can. :)

I absolutely would've gotten the 4 if it had the naturally aspirated V8. But like you said............it doesn't, so I didn't.

Very impressive garage and car collection. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the BW family :)

DD - its fantastic as a daily driver. Like you, I also am worried that my short drives are not enough to even warm it up. Thankfully I have other cars for those tiny errands. But this would apply equally to any ICE vehicle. Modern vehicles warm up very quickly though. Long drive - fantastic...

You should get LOTS of good advice - 911s are popular among BW owners. :) I love that blue. Congrats on the '81 Fiat. My 2nd car was an '81 Alfa Spider Veloce. Coolest name, and coolest shifter. But every time somebody saw it they invariably asked "Is it fast ?" ....And I had to admit the sad...

Agree with the lease idea. I guess its natural for the Saudi's to diversify away from oil. According to Google's AI answer, once EVs take over, about 2/3 of their revenue is gone.

Choice seems obvious. However, it still looks like an awfully expensive gamble. They just lost billions - with a 'B' - for all of 2024, with total revenue of only $800M. The press releases ignore that huge figure, and tout their $6B of total liquidity, but its hard to see how that will last...

I had the same electrical outlet added for my 11KW charger. It'll easily charge 100 KWH reserve overnight. My was as easy as possible though. Power comes to the house from the outside wall of the garage where I needed the charger. Installation was around $1,000 (plus price of the charger). I...

Skeletons are very cool. There are budget, real automatic skeleton's out there as well. https://teddybaldassarre.com/blogs/watches/best-skeleton-watches?srsltid=AfmBOor2aew_z3gu6LFTnxg7XwM_Vxm-rfWTokGl6q3bkvQ-gJwciEH1...

https://www.brodowatch.com/pages/must-read?id=item-kxubbr15&index=1&page=1 I knew fake watches must exist, but this is the first time I've seen carbon copy fakes being openly sold as fakes. They even claim to be based in the USA. Other than pure trust, how do you detect these ? Anyone ever...

I have driven a Tesla S, Tesla 3, Chevy Bolt, and just started driving a Cadillac Lyriq. I would never, ever buy an EV. All my vehicles are fast & loud - my 5BW, Ducati and Harley all have manual transmissions and straight pipes. I'd never have it any other way. However, if you are limited to...

I'm used to ~150 mile range on my bikes, but stopping for gas is such a mild inconvenience. A trivial price to pay for enjoying a great ride or drive. With the bikes, gassing up before the day trip is ritual. Gassing up again when you get there is just another part of it. Like you said - it...

I am not a Waze user either, but it does seem to be fully responsible for creating distracted drivers. People have to use the app on their phone to report these things, right ? How many do you think pull over to make such a report ?

Polarized shades. I can't understand how they ever got popular. They are completely useless inside of a motor vehicle. They're even useless when I'm on my bike looking at the outside of other people's vehicle windows. I can see this as an obstacle to enjoying the HUD. Am I the only one who sees...

Missing out on the PDR is my only regret in my order. The HUD is invaluable on its own too.

I had a buddy who used to race the Silver State Classic every year. Its insane how competitive it is. The top 5 in each class are separated by milliseconds. And they're all just milliseconds away from the perfect target time. I believe they have open classes where its an actual race - fastest...

That is a mystery I've never solved - why pay extra for gold that looks just like cheaper steel models ? Same for platinum, although even bigger $$$ gap I presume.

I hate to point out the obvious, but this thread is our testament to how great SM is: https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/spring-mountain-impressions.3491/

Range is not something you hear about non-EVs. :) The small gas tank and huge turning radius are the only things that annoy me about this great car. My 5 is atrocious in the city. It will only go about 200 miles on a tank. But on a road trip i can do 300 or more. Amazing difference. I would...

Yeah, those OEM brake pads were amazing. When they did finally go, I actually bought the exact same pads from the dealer.
