    Used Value Trend

    I like to just throw my car here and there to see what carvana/vroom or dealerships will offer to see how value is holding up. I been getting between $78k (vroom) to $90k GM dealer. FYI - mine is CT5V manual with 1800 miles no carbon. Although I hope to keep it long term, it does feel nice...

    Heater Ticking Sound

    Most of us don’t drive the BW when it’s in the 40s but since I’m in MN, I have to drive the car anytime I get a chance before winter slumber. Anyhow, as the heater has kicked in, I’m hear this ticking noise in cabin almost to the point of an old clock. Ticking stays at the same cadence until I...

    Paint Chip - Help

    I was doing my final wash and wax before putting the lady to slumber for the winter when I reached on the lower portion of the door to feel something off with the paint. Doh - I see I have a 1.5 mm diameter paint chip. I have electric blue but am having a hard time finding the touch up paint...

    Winter Storage

    I haven’t really stored a car over winter. Is there certain things that needs to be specific for the BW? Couple things I’m thinking 1. Oil change 2. Top off fuel with stabilizer. I always wondered if it is better to fill car up with ethanol free gas since it’s the ethanol in the gas that...

    Saw M2 in Person

    Was getting my wife’s X5 car in for service and saw my first m2 in person. This is the car I had a deposit in before the caddy. I cancelled it after pics dropped showing awful design. My 2 cents seeing it in person. Front is not too bad. It looks ok. Side looks sexy. Back looks like it...

    Brutal Winter Car

    How does anyone else deal with parking their BW all winter long while driving a boring car. I have always driven a sport sedan or coupe the last 15 yrs (3 series, m2) all year round. Sold my m2 during Covid due to dumb used car values and bought a boring ridgeline truck to haul the kids...

    Did CT5 Blackwing price go up?

    I already have my BW but was staring at a diff color with exact same config as what I have and it’s $1000 more. Did Cadillac do a quick price increase for the new year?

    CT5 BW Understeer

    So has anyone research how to make the CT5 BW have less Understeer? It’s interesting that the CT4 BW which weighs 260 lbs less is that much more nimble and has more of a balance turn in. But the bigger wheel base and wider tires I thought would neutralized some of the heavier weight issues of...

    Barely Tall Enough to Drive BW

    So I’m a short dude. 5’6”. Pretty even torso/leg ratio. With the seat way pushed forward to the max, my leg just reaches the full extension of clutch with slight knee bend. I’m not sure if a person under my height would be able to drive this manual car, I’m sure shorter ladies probably...

    CT5 Blackwing Manual Shut Off

    I was letting my CT5 blackwing just idle on its own in the garage to burn through some old gas and let the car warm up. After approx 10 mins while I was sweeping around the garage, the car just shut off on its own. Still have couple gallons of gas in the tank. Does Cadillac have a auto car...

    Arrived!! But no Gas!

    She arrived! But I have a problem. There is snow/ice on the roads. Barely got her up the driveway curb due to snow. Says there is 32 mi left in range so I’m assuming she only has 2 gallons of fuel! Can’t drive her to gas station. So what are my options? I’m thinking I should get Sta-Bil...

    Where to PPF

    Getting my car in a few days. Was thinking of driving it to get PPF but having 6-8 inches of snow and only being 15 degrees on Michelins won’t work. So I’ll just peel the ship film and have to wait to spring. In the meanwhile im thinking doing the front but was wondering if anyone had...
