As a temporary fix.................

[SIX 40]

It all worked out. There was a dude on the FB page that worked at a Cadillac dealer in St Louis that said he could get me a good deal on a V if I was interested. Turns out I bought the V (for 15k off!) and he bought my SS from Copart.

He fixed it and drove it down to TX with his girl last March for spring break. I got to drive my car again and get some closure. Gotta love the car community.

Love the SS. Owned it twice. Finally sold the 2017 model when BW was announced.

2015 - Some Like It Hot Red (6MT)
2017 - Slipstream Blue (6MT)

My current car is a 2014 SS as you can see from my avatar. It's mostly stock at the moment, has a tune and that's about it. My Plan B if I can't get a 5BW for any of the various reasons is to put a blower on the SS and pretend! LOL!

It will wake it up for sure....I was running 13 pounds of boost on mine, E85, and all kind of go fast goodies....

Since it doesn't look like Cadillac will be getting their act together for me to get the car anytime soon, I picked up my first Mopar!

Sweet!! Welcome to the club!! Here’s mine:

 

[foot 1]

I had 2 SS(es), a ‘15 auto and a ‘17 manual. If anyone was on the SS FB page a few years ago, my ‘17 was hit by a FedEx truck in front of my house and totaled. July 2018. The insurance payout was more than I paid for it new because I bought it at 10% off.

That led me to a V3 and here I am today.

That V3 is a nice upgrade over the 17 SS , the only thing missing on the V3 Caddy was a 3rd pedal .

Sweet Mopars! Did both of you bail on the Blackwing?

Yeah, that’s why I wanted the Blackwing. Congrats @ajamils! Looks great

I don't really have a temporary fix lol. I am now sharing the wife's 2.7T CT4 during winter unless there's no salt on the ground. Then I can have the 3 pedal wagon out but its on summer tires, so temps need to be 40+. I also have the Roadster coming back to me in April after it's time in NC getting road & dyno tuned. So it's only going to be rough for a couple more months driving a boring car lol.

 

[ajamils]

Sweet Mopars! Did both of you bail on the Blackwing?

Not yet. Still keeping my order for now. I figured that once BW comes in I can sell the Hellrango without losing any money.
But so far (other than few quality issues) I'm loving it. Also since this is going to be more rare than BW, I might just end up keeping it.

 

[BrakeFade]

Sweet Mopars! Did both of you bail on the Blackwing?

No still waiting. The Durango Hellcat is actually my wife’s ride. I may end getting something else if I don’t hear anything on the BW by the end of Feb. Been in 1100 since July.

I expanded my list of back ups as well. My name is now on the local dealers list (#5) for a Golf R. Dealer says about 1/2 the people who put down deposits dont follow through with the sale.
Camry is supposed to be here in 2.5 weeks but some red flags on the order. Dealer took my CC for a deposit but never ran the card. If I dont get the Camry will wait for the Golf. Both are temporary until Blackwing arrives, if ever

Another SS transplanter here. I was able to trade in the SS for 8g less I paid after racking up 105m miles on her. Traded it for my first mopar, a wrangler. It was fun to drive through the snow this morning but I can't wait for the spring rain to clear all the salt and I can finally drive my BW5!

 

[arod221]

WOW just WOW

I still don't have it...and no word other than it's sitting in a yard ready to ship out.

 

[BrakeFade]

I bought and sold a new GT500 during my time on the wait list for the 5BW (July order). Got rid of the 500 because the Recaros are too damn tight. I’m seriously thinking about buying a ‘20 GT350 and calling it a day until I can get into a new Z06 in a few years (if ever). I really want to row my own gears. My current E39 M5 need a running mate and a rest!

 

[xeerohour]

I'm going a bit stir crazy sharing the wife's SUV while I wait for my 4 to be built.

I keep trolling for used Miatas and 86's. Found a '90 Miata for 5k this morning...

I'm stuck daily driving our 2021 Mercedes Sprinter Cargo van until the Blackwing arrives.. Similar gas milage, but nowhere near the fun.

I was TPW last week, but suspect the Tech Bronze wheels are why we remain at 3400 today. =/

 

[tateintx]

Love to see all the SS converts on here!! I had a 2014 and a 2015 SS and I still kick myself for letting the Heron White 2015 go. I am currently at 3400 with a TPW of last week (I'm carbon cursed). I have a 2022 Model S in the garage right now until my BW arrives. I am sure having a Tesla is going get me flamed on this forum, but it's been a great car so far.
