What all-season (?) tires are those?

This! Even with a $7k base mark-up, GM seems to have no problem selling the Blackwings, with many long waits still. I could also see how a price increase, leading to lower production, would assist GM in phasing out the car. If GM makes any changes to the platform (infotainment or computer...

Heat gun and fishing line to get the original lip off?

Yep, they called me in February 2022 and say they were ready to submit my order. I was buying a house and the wife's Bronco at the time, and didn't want to add a third luxury purchase to my credit. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of the allocation, although my '22 spec was quite a bit...

It's at Baker Cadillac of Charleston. You can drive it out to me! Would be fun for you, but that would be an expensive gas bill. hahaha

Well Goat family, after nearly 1 full year of waiting and 6 months out in the factory lot, she finally made it to the Dealer. 2023 5BW M6, 86-027. I cannot wait to go and pick it up (still yet to be decided how I will do this given I am in WA and car is in SC). Rob, could you please remove me...

I felt like this was missing a key piece of info so i used some data to do some more comparrison. I'd say the 10-speed does its job at keeping a lower RMP. Comparing Average MPH to Average RPM allows you to see driving styles. Lower RPM, Higher MPH would indicate highway driving. Higher RPM...

Finally, I feel like I've gotten the full experience! Six (6) EDDs have come and gone; back to Delayed status now! Maybe it will be in time for my February Birthday - Vin #27 on my 27th!?!

Go Army! Beat Navy!

I feel destine to have a New Year present, despite my car being built in August. I am on my 5th EDD, and between holiday weekends and Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years, am looking forward to another 3-5 EDD that come and go - with no movement at all. Yay!

Caught these GOATS being transported South on I-75 through the Cincinnati area this afternoon. Unfortunately, none are mine. Maybe one of you will see yours on here.

Please ignore the hideous Ohio design... Thanks Gov. DeWine and wife...

GM Authority posted an article that the 2023 CT5-V Blackwing orders have all been taken and that they are now closed. New orders will have to wait for the 2024’s to open up. Last year GM was taking orders for the 2022’s at least until March/April. I wonder if they are closing the plant early...

I spoke with a dispatcher from Accelerated Services (Auto Trans) on Tuesday this week (wonderfully pleasant and professional). She mentioned that GM "hasn't been releasing Blackwings (5BWs that is) to ship for a little while". Seems that they have been unable to deliver any for a couple of...

In the deals, oil change bundles page.

Did a deal where I added 5 qts and an oil filter. Did it twice with two different deals and filters. Brought the oil down to about $6.39 a qt. I’ll see if I can return the random filters I don’t care about once they arrive. $80 total. I made sure to get the random filters for my other vehicles...

Just a theory - Finally saw a real picture of a 2023 BW, and not a digital render, and there was NO rear "BLACKWING" badge. Wouldn't it really be a shame if all the produced 2023's were sitting in MP status for the new BW badge?

"Blackwing" badge... For some reason the V looks crooked.

My thoughts after seeing this: "No way my status changed, right? Maybe the EDD shifted left?! Nope, still bayed..."

I frame all my cars window stickers. I also keep their license plate when I sell it. Now I have a wall of window stickers and plates to remember them by. I think it’s pretty cool, especially in 50 years.
