    Jacking up your Blackwing

    If you lift where those big holes are, you will be disappointed when it is crushed. Pad placement needs to include the pinch weld area.

    Oil filter brand

    Throw a piece of folded sandpaper in your band wrench to minimize slippage. I would bet the filters are put on by a machine or at least some mechanical assistance device. I've always noticed even the filters I put on seem to be tighter when removing than when installed.

    CT5-V CT5 Blackwing Deep Ocean Blue?

    There isn't much point in comparing manufacturers. It is what is and can be quick or lengthy depending on what things might occur, like quality holds or transport issues. Recently, things have been reasonable and can be either side of 6 weeks by any amount of days. You just have to be patient...

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    The only downside to that is there seems to be some recent warnings out about malicious QR codes. Might be a negative.

    How to jump a battery

    I know where all the right posts are for attachment under the hood, but anymore I feel it is risky to try to jump another car with mine and won't do it. If the other person does not know what they are doing with jumper cables, bad things could happen to your car. I carry a jump box in the...

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Yes, larger dealers get more allocations. The more specific product they sell, the more allocations they get. Since you are in TX, hit up Sewell dealerships. Sewell Dallas probably gets the most allocations. There is a rep from them on the forum.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    Only individual dealers are going to able to tell you about their allocations when you ask them. There isn't an allocation repository out there for the general public to see. That is why people place orders at multiple dealers when they are wanting a car ASAP.

    PSA Regarding CT5 Blackwing SD Cards for PDR and Surround Vision Recorder

    Not sure about the impact sensing with the SVR, but I DO get security recordings when people get near my car when it is sitting unattended. I have not had an impact incident, but would guess it would catch that in some cases. I began to notice the recordings more when the car was at the dealer...
