    silly question: wiring down payment to dealer for my BW

    Seconding this. Get a certified check from your bank and fly with it unless you're 100% certain on the wires.

    Protecting the semi-aniline leather

    Just clean them, it comes right off. I waited over a year of daily driving to do mine and now they look great. I used the Griots 3 in 1 spray and a microfiber. Took all of 5 minutes.

    My BlackWing has been relieved of its duties...

    I'm about 18 months behind you on this plan. Hoping VW nails the EV GTI and I can grab hatch for even more practicality. Though the Ioniq 5N is pretty appealing too...

    CT5-V Engine failure

    I like the sign you have out front (on Google Streetview). Looks like an amazing setup.

    Cadillac Smart Driver and Privacy Concerns

    Looks like the games (lawsuits) have begun. I think the stronger case is probably for one of us who 100% opted out of Smart Driver and still had reports end up on Lexis. @Throat Yogurt that's you, right? I'm going to request my Lexis report too, but I absolutely never opted in and have never...

    Warranty Block on 4BW M6

    Yes, this we agree on. If I money shift it, it's very much a me problem.

    Warranty Block on 4BW M6

    Had never driven a single manual before buying mine. Do you want manufacturers to stop making them? Because your approach is why they stop making them. We need more people to get in and try. I did a lot of stalling for about two weeks. The car didn't explode.

    Track Mode

    I've seen it described as actually slowing down the throttle response and making it more linear. Easier to be precise with getting the power down on corner exit. Feels that way in my experience, too.

    CT5-V It only took 44 years

    Great, now you guys have me hunting for a C6 Z06.

    F1 Rejects Cadillac Bid

    It's a hilarious rationale. "They won't be able to fight for race wins or podiums immediately." There are teams that haven't sniffed being competitive, ever. Red Bull has an entire second team that has 5 podiums in 17 seasons. Williams hasn't been competitive in almost a decade. Gene Haas...

    2025 CT4V Blackwing?

    If you read the post I was actually responding to, it's talking about the "truck engined" base car and all of its German competitors too.

    2025 CT4V Blackwing?

    The Germans are all 4 cyl now though, across the board. Even in something as big as the 5 series/E class.

    2025 CT4V Blackwing?

    I love mine. That said, I will have a deposit down on a V8 version the day it's announced. It'll never happen, but if they decide to do a "hair on fire" analogue to the M3 CSL and slap the V8 in... it would be really special.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    They look great. Go Cats! (although this season...)

    Advice for A Daily

    Based on their recent history and the design of the new base 5 series... I am not optimistic it'll look anywhere near as good as the RS6. The powertrain will be absolutely fantastic though.

    Advice for A Daily

    If we're on "unreliable but fun" I have to mention the Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio. I had a base Giulia and my wife has the Stelvio now (non-Quad) and the base cars drive extremely similarly. The Stelvio just feels like it's got a 2 inch lift kit but otherwise very close. I would imagine the...

    Shhhh I'm going to buy one next year and want people to continue overlooking them.

    Skip shift on CT4v Blackwing

    There is no skip shift on these cars. Second is tough when it's cold. I often just go 1-3 for the first few shifts of the day until I get some temp in the car.
