...has anybody seen a replacement? I had hoped I'd see some communication about it being replicated via Google Assistant (or Gemini) but haven't so far. It's not a deal breaker but it was might convenient to remote start the car via an assistant (which I can still do with BMW).

Is Cadillac still giving 2 free days at Spring Mountain for new purchases? If so, I'm not sure if give up the car over a $300 add-on (which in some cases yields a small insurance discount).

I've still got a S65 oil burner in the fleet! Keeping it helps put any potential Blackwing problem into a better perspective!

The fact that I have to turns the system up to at least 45% of volume range in order to hear everything makes me wonder if the setup is underpowered or if the cross-over setup is suboptimal.

The tricky part for me is finding an aftermarket installer that's going to still be around in a few years to honor any warranty work! Almost (not quite) worth it to pay the dealership nearly 2x to have the PPF and Ceramic covered like the new car warranty.

Bought at a dealer. I've got an order with an eBay seller as well that was projected to arrive next week as of a month ago...

I bought a K&N out of desperation a month ago but really didn't want to have to use it as it seems people online are about 50/50 as to whether it causes issues with MAF sensor.

Of course with what was a month long backorder I suppose I should be happy to finally get an engine air filter. Probably going to cost $150 this time next month!!

Why would someone pay for a GPS tracker hard installed when you can use your phone for free on demand?? Isn't the basic OnStar stuff free that includes this if you want it (I don't want my car back if it's stolen).

The steel setup has the same braking power as the CCBs on the 5BW with no fade on track in my experience. Hence the real reason for me to own CCBs is to have clean wheels. My current car has steelies but I'm barely getting to the track these days so my next car might have CCBs instead (no...

Are you going with the black OEM locks or not worried about theft?

My phone (S25 Ultra) fits the wireless charger and the wired charger with no problem during the most aggressive driving. Can readily keep a G27 in a Galco holster in the center console (I miss the V3's CD holder pocket in the glove box that was perfect for a weapon.)

Aha. I think this is the issue I had a couple of months ago. Dealership replaced the evap canister and the CEL came back a couple of days later with the same code.

By all accounts, if you're in the market for an EV, Lucid is a top choice. If you're really interested, look at used Air Tourings. 2022s are going for low 60s on AutoTrader.

Ive got some sort of trunk organizer almost similar - same size and shape but it has Velcro flaps as covers (and no straps) that I need to keep things in place in the corners. Mine is full of cleaning supplies car vacuum, etc.. Not for groceries (I have large insulated totes from Costco for that.)
