    Pops out of 1st gear

    5 here, 1st popped out a few times on me early-on and before I learned to feel it engage. It just takes being deliberate vs how some rubbery linkages can be casually thrown into 1st. I've come to really enjoy the quality snick and beefiness.

    Anyone near Atlanta Georgia?

    not necessarily a problem/issue, but it appears to have the standard black front lip spoiler, so the rear spoiler might be aftermarket. Just might want to check it out closely. all the best with the potential purchase

    WHEEL/TIRE AND GAP INSURANCE PLUS ALL WEATHER MATS WITH NEW PURCHASE

    I also paid $700 for 5 years on wheel/tire insurance. But... that was when we lived in Philly where most roads - even highways like 95, where/are shit. Florida roads are near perfect compared to that and I would not have gotten it.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    for aesthetics or noise reduction? We have a 5 BW and on throttle cruising at 80+ there is a constant drone or tire thrum throughout the cabin. To the point where the wife (she likes the car and drove at Spring Mountain) doesn't want to road trip in it anymore.

    Spring Mountain- Track insurance?

    my wife drove as well and my receipt from Spring Mountain is for $4,345, which includes insurance for both of us and no doubt a few fees and fees to bill the fees.

    EV Thoughts Thread: cause the old farts did their usual thing

    I think Toyota has/had it right - plug in hybrids are the answer. Give us 40-50 miles of electric range (well within most commutes and weekend errand trips) with the ICE onboard for longer trips. This would slash our gas and emissions. I like what Porsche is doing (Cayenne plug in with either...

    What is that green ring around the gear indicator

    I'm pretty sure the ring goes from green to yellow to red as you rush towards redline. The challenge is every time it happens, I'm kinda busy managing everything and not staring at it

    CT4-V Steering wheel heater LED bulb burnt out

    mine is a real button and activates 2 ways - manually and on-demand with a quick push and automatically if the temp is below a certain threshold (it's a menu option - same with the heated and cooled seats). I recall the heated steering wheel being on constraint way back when? if so, perhaps you...

    No cylinder deactivation on the 5Wing Manual transmission?

    Definitely no AFM in the 5BW manual. I'd be okay if it did... it was very smooth in our C7 Z06 7M. Super happy our BWs don't have ASS!
