    A Race Driver Living His Dream

    I was watching this past weeks IMSA Race on TV. They mentioned a lawyer who had bought a Blackwing and took advantage of Spring Mountain. The instructors told him that he was an exceptional driver and was a natural talent for racing. He took this to heart and is now an IMSA race driver. It...

    Got my roof PPf'd

    I wasn't sure if I was going to do this, but I like it. I did have to buy a black gloss cover from Savage Cadillac to cover the antenna. (Which was a pain in the arse for the guy to loosen and then reattach.) The cover does leave a tiny gap on the bottom and around the camera that shows some...

    The "easy" jobs.

    I took my 22' 5BW into my wrap shop to get black gloss PPF installed on the roof. The installer called me today to say that there was "good news/ bad news". The bad news was that the PPF that was delivered had a blemish in the whole roll of material and can't be used. The good news was, that...

    CT5-BW Brake Wear

    I took my 2022 CT5 BW to my local mechanic for an inspection. My car only has 6400 miles on her. The mechanic did the inspection and then tells me that I need brakes. Is it possible for my car to need brakes with such low miles. I don't have the carbon ceramic brakes. He made the comment...

    Petty's Garage

    I am also on the ChallengerTalk.com Forum and was saddened to hear that the Petty Family has suddenly closed down their performance vehicle and parts garage. Employees are already gone and their website has been taken down. I Googled it and there isn't even any news on the internet. Long...

    GM Extended Warranty

    My car will be 3 years old this June and it has 5800 miles on her. Probably will never do more than 3000 in any given year, at most. Does anyone have an idea what a dealership will charge for an extended warranty , since I will more than likely keep this car for a long time. I saw a chart...

    Taking my 5BW out of winter hibernation.

    My car is currently in storage, about 75 miles from my house. I sent a text message to my 3 brothers , asking them if they plan on going out to our summer house any time soon. I wanted a ride out to go get my car for the 2025 season. 2 of my brothers have replied that they are planning on...

    Public Service Announcement/ Working on your rides

    When working on your rides, make sure to have at least one fire extinguisher or a working garden hose nearby. Yesterday, my neighbor was working on one of his cars (not sure yet if they were classic/collectible) and a fire started. He had no fire suppression nearby and he burned his garage to...

    Jack Cooper Transport going out of business after almost 100 years

    I just caught this story about Jack Cooper going under because Ford and GM decided to cancel their contracts with the auto transport company. When I was patiently waiting for my 2022 CT5-V BW to be delivered, during the goat rodeo days, you could actually call them and get a nice lady to tell...

    My headache of not owning a garage.

    I don't have a garage on my house and it is a real pain for someone who owns 5 cars. When I bought the house in 2005 , I planned on building a 2 car garage with lifts and a loft mancave. My local town denied my application for BS reasons. If I had known that I could not build a garage , I...

    Dealership Hourly Rates

    I just dropped my 2022 Kia Telluride off at the local dealer to get the check engine light looked at. I looked on the wall and had a heart attack ! $ 210 per hour labor rate ! I need to move out of NY. The Kia dealer is the same owner as the Cadillac dealer. They probably all charge the...

    The NEW Cadillac Celestiq and Sollei

    I have been a lifelong fan of Cadillac design over my 60 years. Some models were a swing and a miss (Cimarron to name one.) The new Celestiq is priced for only the mega-wealthy, although, the way I have seen some $250,000 cars being sold on Barrett-Jackson for $40,000 after only 10 years old...

    CT5-v and Blackwing Movies

    I just saw my first movie with a CT5-V as a "hero car". Michael Keaton stars as "John Knox" , hitman with onset dementia. At least he drives a classy car. Post if you have seen any other guest appearances of V's or Blackwings in the movies or TV shows.

    Alarm goes off for no reason.

    Its 12:58 am and my 5BW alarm suddenly goes off. I jumped out of bed and look down on the car from my bedroom window. I go and check my security cameras and the car alarm is activated for no reason whatsoever. Anyone else have this happen to them ?
