To me, the idea that a down market has any meaningful impact on non-retired consumers is illogical, its actually an opportunity. I keep pouring money into the market regardless and the shares I'm buying today are cheaper than they were 6 months ago. It's going back up, it ALWAYS does. so take...

Unless you're retired/retiring, what does the market have to do with your disposable income decisions?

I think the shape of the tip isn't conducive to determining an overfill condition. The oil tube wipes that portion clean as you pull it out. I check mine after sitting overnight on level ground. I do my own changes and keep the level 1-2mm below the top of the hatch. Hate an overfill...

My wife would walk over $29, it would take a bit more for me to walk but it depends on my desire for the car. I'm guessing your desire isn't that high since it appears you already have a '25 5BW? In 2023, when I was in the finance office 14 minutes away from getting my red BW keys, I would...

I'm torn between the '22 and '25 model year having the best overall collection of options. I LOVE shadow metallic but I think I have give the award to the '25 MY. Black Raven here, btw.

I think you can both be proud of your teams record and also acknowledge every industry has its tarnish issues with a small number that lack the aptitude/cares given to be good at their profession. While I have a strong situational awareness, I still hold firm that cops, lawyers, strangers, and...

When do we get to start the break-in procedure debate?

I think the OBDII lock linked above by my bay area neighbor is a good idea to slow the process. For those circumstances where I'm parking overnight and not at home, is there a preferred fuse removal move?

It's an OBD port based GPS tracker, not an anti-theft device.

But in the 8 seconds my wife might catch on to what I'm doing. She has traction control button spidy-sense, and I have long thumbs and can reach it when shifting to 2nd totally unnoticed to normal humans.

Are you sure its not the new pads rattling in the calipers? How are you able to isolate the sound to the EPB caliper and not the brake calipers? The brake pads are huge and have a lot of mass, so unless you went with OEM Brembo pads, it's likely the tension springs are not engineered as well...

I figured the citation would be GMA. Absolutely worthless article that is nothing more than hyperbole about the "significant mid-cycle refresh" and a who gives a shit parking package that is now standard.

Can you cite your source?

Fathom blue with stealth looks amazing!!

I agree, its not a "real" luxury car and that is precisely why I love it. It's fine that it's a Cadillac but I would be just as happy with it if it had a Chevy badge.
