The Blackwing reminds you that you are old…

[DCV]

And will send a message into the digital dash to remind you that you left the turn signal on. So yea I was out driving and had used my left turn signal to get on the highway….forgot it was on and about three minutes later it’s told me “left turn signal on”…..all I need now is the checkered hat my grandfather wore.

"Driving hat" we call it!

I stalled at a stop light today. Can't remember the last time I did that on the road.

I told my son that I bought the Blackwing because i'm old and needed a proper "old fuddy duddy car". He asked why i didn't get a Corvette.

Cadillac = Old!!!

I do feel old when exiting my blackwing. It's so low to the ground that I'm forced to proceed slowly and carefully.

My buddy asked me when I bought my 5 BW did it come with a Cadillac logo box of tissues for the rear window.

The older and the bigger the car was the more attracted I was to it! Love BIG cars! Now I have a CT5 BW and it's small and not old looking? But it's considered an old man's car?

 

[rubberduck]

Because older men have more discerning taste and style.

I leave it on all the time. Personally think the blinker sound is too quiet and the indicator is hidden behind the wheel the way I have it. Also think the stalk is too far away to hit easily too. Altogether not a fan of the blinker system lol, might be my only qualm with the car

This thread is funny, thanks all for the laughs this morning.

When I was discussing the purchase of the car with the wife (it's my money, but I find it safer to run these things past her first) she said "it's an old man's car". I replied, "I'm an old man."

I then got the argument "you've said that before and then you sold it and bought a BMW..." which is not untrue, but I sincerely hope that this car is the exception. Yes, I'm still waiting for it (bought and paid for, waiting for shipping).

I bought my first Corvette at age 31 because I didn't want to wait until I was middle-aged and be stereotyped. It was bad enough getting all of the gold chain jokes. I wonder what the new jokes will be.

My wife told me that I should not own a Cadillac until after 50 because it was an "old man's" car but I have always loved them and glad I finally have one..

I purchased a C6 Corvette during my midlife crises and loved that car too but it was very hard for me to get in and out of... Traded it for a Jeep so I had to get rid of my jorks and new balance shoes.....

Been driving Caddy's since my early 20s. Can't give it up. Age is just a number that I'm happy to keep counting.

Unfortunately, I had one of these. I was driving a Corvette back in 1975 for work, and the company wouldn’t continue to pay my insurance on it so they gave me this car to drive. What a POS! However, Ricardo Montalban was the man! Check out his pecs in “The Wrath of Khan”

Didn't you enjoy the fine corinthian leather?

My '05 CTS-V also had the "turn signal on" alert feature which would come up on the radio display. The first time it happened I thought it was hysterical, but the second time, it made me feel old.

+1. Too quiet, not properly located, poor tactile feedback. Not a big deal, just a minor thing GM should have done better. Just part of buying a GM.
