Getting a stolen car back is adding a layer that I wasn't including, but could not agree more. I guess I'm a lot more adverse than some to the hassle and out of pocket costs to get a replacement.

I just peak around at the indicator lamp on the side mirror for the light blink confirming that its locked. Faraday user here too. It's literally .73 of a second to remove or replace the keys in the pouch. Seems a lot less time and hassle than dealing with insurance, a shitty insurance payout...

100's of 1,000's of police interceptors say idle hours are fine. Back in the day, Ford determined 33 miles of oil life use per 1 hour of idle, but GM OLI absolutely takes idle time, outside temp, oil temp between key cycles, and myriad other data points into account. Its a VERY good system.

Coverking for me. Same custom fit but I prefer flexible for more compliant install and rolls up easy. https://coverking.com/products/custom-sunshield?variant=40386201518242

I'm new to the internets, but I think the asshole comment was supposed to be funny as it references that old thread about driver "scores". Some of you assholes are completely uninsurable based on those numbers! :cool:

I only do one tire if there is under a couple thousand miles, otherwise its a 2fer. Unless you plan to keep this pattern of replacement going or plan to sell the car soon, no matter how you look at it at some point you're going to be disposing of one tire that isn't worn out. Life experience...

Hi Rob, I don't think Nick's BW that I now have is in the registry, R0860360. Black Diamond Tricoat.

That alloy is called Chinesium

Cross posting my f/s ad since I put it in the general for sale. The "I never planned to sell" spirit runs deep so never noticed the for V series for sale section. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/f-s-23-5bw-6-speed.6071/

Cross posting since I put the original ad in a less ideal spot. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/f-s-23-5bw-6-speed.6071/

Here is the "street high performance" burnishing option. The way I read it, this only needs to be done before track days?

And more fun! :)

Hello, My "forever" 5BW is sadly for sale, but only because I have a second one that is a bit more special...more on that in another thread on another day. 2023 5BW 5,100 miles Black Raven 6 speed manual Sky Cool Grey seats Parking package Satin graphite wheels Red belts Red calipers 6 speed...

The garage is full of motorcycles and a 5, so no house smashing, I mean garage parking for my wife or daughters. Now if I can just figure out how to do away with the curbs they love to rash the rims on. Actually my youngest daughter parallel parks like a boss, and is darn good on a...

Lincoln Town Car...you're welcome.

Was the car in the hot sun all day? When everything is preheated deep into the dash, it can take a spell to cool all that mass down. If it was in a garage and still not cool, then you might have an issue. I think a few have reported issues in the past, but I recall it was 5's that had the issue.

I'm all about fun cars, but slabbing interstate is not really fun in anything. This is a rare case where an appliance is probably the best move. An already depreciated Accord with a manual transmission where you don't feel bad about the miles, stone chips, door dings, and related DD realities...

^^^I'm sure it was a difficult engineering challenge, but the more important point is that a fair percentage of 4 and 5 BW's are represented here is and squeal is rarely reported.
