    Taking pictures of your car

    Posts #7 and 16 look good. #7 shot #2 has the car framed with a disappearing set of lines. Looks great, draws the eye to the car. #16 shot #1 has a great angle, but maybe over expose it a little and play with something like lightroom to bring out some highlights, or get the sun over your...

    Picking up a CT5 BW - What should the dealer be providing with the car?

    Granted I got a 4BW, but my dealer threw in a $7k discount. I would still have liked a T-Shirt or a nice mug, but for the 7k I saved, no problem

    The Blackwing Spotting Thread

    Pulled into the local Target parking lot by a guy with a nicely set up Charger. He pulled up and told me “Cool Car, I’ve got a 5 in the same color”. Best I’ve done so far.

    Norcal/Bay Area blackwing meetup

    I actually haven't been down that route since I was a kid (that was a long time ago). I used to live at the base of 130/Mt Hamilton road in San Jose. Used to run that on my motorcycle all the time.

    Is this a shipping block?!

    driver with a floor jack jacks up the front slightly using the elusive jack points, you reach in and put the blocks in place. They go in fairly easily when there's some lifting force applied. It wasn't raining when I did it, but the light in my garage isn't very good

    Is this a shipping block?!

    find a safe spot to jack up the front from, remove the block, put it in the trunk. Those are included to ensure that if your car is pulled onto a flatbed (the only way to transport) it will have enough clearance to get onto the truck. There's a long thread on jacking up these cars...

    CT5-V Leather Seat Bolsters Looking Worn but Brand New

    mine look the same at 4k miles, I could raise a fuss, but they'd get replaced and look the same.
