It's probably a 2022. I got my badge, but it's still in the box and I probably won't install it just because...it's a 2022.Sunday the 28th, sometime between 6-630 pm eastbound 96 near Southfield fwy. I THINK this is a BW, but it's missing the blackwing badge under the V....
That's what I thought too.It's probably a 2022. I got my badge, but it's still in the box and I probably won't install it just because...it's a 2022.
Is that considered up-badging? I thought Cadillac set those out to owners of previous years?It's probably a 2022. I got my badge, but it's still in the box and I probably won't install it just because...it's a 2022.
I don't know what it's considered, but yeah they were made available to us '22 owners when the '23s came out with trunk badges.Is that considered up-badging? I thought Cadillac set those out to owners of previous years?
approaching 2 years with 11,000 miles (debadged) and no one has ever asked if it is a Blackwing. Lots of questions, stares and head snaps, but people just don't know what it is and I love it.Just debadge the car. I get a lot of people at lights going "Is that a blackwing?!" and I'm like "Absolutely!" and they're like "Damn sweet car"
I love this damn thing.
I mostly get thumbs up out windows. I have had 3 people ask if it's a blackwing, everyone else just does a double take or gives me the thumbs up lolapproaching 2 years with 11,000 miles (debadged) and no one has ever asked if it is a Blackwing.

Edit for addition - and when I say it's a manual, they say, "oh like with paddles? those are cool." NO DA! IT'S A Fg MANUAL TRANSMISSION. People have no idea what a stick shift with 3 pedals is anymore.
I debadged my SS and it didn't help at all. People (all men, unfortunately) come up to me in parking lots, want to talk about it... Hey, I'm social and all, but I've got a life too and need to get on with it!Just debadge the car.

Rift 5 on southbound 275 in St Petersburg Tuesday afternoon.... left lane blocker!

Whenever I'm filling up at Costco, I love starting the car up under that overhead ceiling. I get everyone turning their heads to see wtf just exploded to life haha.I debadged my SS and it didn't help at all.

Only two people have noticed the BW, the gas guy at Costco and some other dude at Costco who gave me a thumbs-up as he walked across the parking lot. Otherwise, I'm just getting a finger from folks telling me that I'm #1.
LOL, we were at the Porsche dealer buying the wife her new (used) Macan S last week, and the salesman asked me what I drive. "It doesn't matter, it's her car," I reply. He insists. I say 'Cadillac". He nods. The wife chimes in that it's a special Cadillac. I ask him if he's heard of the Blackwing. Blank stare.
Hey, that's OK, I don't suppose many people cross-shop those two cars.
So, on the one hand I don't like it that most people don't realize what tremendously good taste and style I have, but on the other hand, I like being a bit anonymous. Until I accelerate, of course.
Back to the topic: I think I saw a BW CT5 (or 4?) on the way to work a week or two ago. I briefly thought of turning around, following them into the parking lot and introducing myself, but then I thought, eh, why bother?
So, anyone here own a white BW that works in Cary in Regency Park and gets to work around 6:30 AM?
I thought that's how all Floridians drove. Stay in the left lane until you need to exit.
Not going to lie, I sometimes fantasize about replacing my V badge (I didn't get the Blackwing badge on my '22) with a "350 T"
LOL - Fair enough, maybe an UBER sticker in the front window, thenYes but that would be equivalent to fantasizing about wearing women's lingerie to work under your dress slacks, no one looking would know the difference.
