    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    Your call. Mine has worked fine with the replacement engine. The engines are assembled by one person who signs the engine. I would have loved to have been there when he/she learned the engine had come apart. I was driving at 55 mph with cruise control on and the car started to slow down. I...

    23 5VBW with blown motor here

    Welcome to my world. The engine in my 22 5 BW came apart at about 7000 miles. No track. No mistreatment. It just seized. Sewell Cadillac of Dallas came and got it and brought a loaner car.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner

    Excellent. Congratulations and welcome. My 5BW is a great car. My only suggestion, that I offer to all new owners, is to apply acceleration smoothly. A sudden application of all 668 hp will make it try to swap ends. (don’t ask how I know!)

    Excellent. Well done. I’m 86. The only thing I can get under is a blanket.

    Ok. I flew the 757. Beautiful aircraft. It would climb like a rocket. But that was a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

    I’m not a mechanic (and I didn’t play one in TV), so the best suggestion I could offer is to take it to a Cadillac dealer’s service center. (rcole757? Did you fly one or is that your birthday?)
