Still a bargain and non-impactful in the grand scheme of things.

$100,000 car? Justifiable purchase. $200 insurance? "No way, not "wasting" my money. " smh It's only $200 bucks. How much is a carbon splitter these days? And that ain't gonna buff out, either.

It's literally cheap insurance for $200 bucks. I spent more at the local dispensary, The Source, in Pahrump, which is a much better place than the touristy Planet 13 in Vegas. And go to the Punk Rock Museum while you're at it.

After doing a deep dive about piston slap, I'm now convinced that's what it was. Knowing that the seemingly only resolution is a new engine (!), nothing would have been done, it would have always done that, and would have always bothered me. Oh well, moot point now.

It was a rhythmic ticking that sounded to me like a small exhaust leak, supercharger pulley tick, or something like that (maybe something in the engine if I wanted to be completely irrational and drive myself crazy). All I know is none of the CT5-V Blackwings at Spring Mountain made that sound...

Ha! I too was of the same mindset until I got a boat. Never could figure out how someone could have a car in the garage, drive it rarely, only to put it back on a trickle charger until the next time. However, 1.5 years of ownership later and only 56 hours on the boat when I sold it, I now...

The Type S is incredible. It's still plenty quick and they did a good job of reducing torque steer, and the transmission feels just as good (if not better) than the CT5-V Blackwing. The upside is that it has much more usable power on the street and you can actually go through the gears without...

I got rid of my CT5-V Blackwing for an Integra Type S (as well as a check from the dealership, of course), because my 911S will be in by the end of May.

I had a '99 M Coupe in Estoril Blue Metallic (the S52 with the 240 h.p.), and it was such an under appreciated car back in the day. I traded my 2000 S2000 in on it, and never looked back. However, I got rid of it before the whole rear subframe issue was an issue, and my wife told me that if I...

Do you realize how dangerous and irresponsible this is? If something goes wrong, you're going to spill bong water in the car and you're never going to get the smell out. I find grinding weed and packing 1 1/4 cones is much is safer and conducive to smoking and driving. Raw Blacks are ideal for...

It didn't meet its demise at the hands of Lincoln High, did it?

As an owner of a 2024 Integra Type S, I can say that the shifter is as good as it was in my S2000, and it feels as good (if not better) than the manual transmission in my CT5-V Blackwing. Just 'cause there's a big aftermarket doesn't mean it's lacking, it's just that people have to mod things...

I'm sure DonD's offer to destroy your POS 1-ton van with his .458 Winchester Magnum at his shooting range still stands. Now about those targeted ads due to browser history...

Why I gotta look at Hondas?! What's browser history? How do you open up a .pdf?

I've never been on a track except for motorcycles (no Auto-X or anything, and I too consider myself faster than most in a car), and I had the third fastest lap time on the track, as well as the third fastest Auto-X time. The other two guys were seasoned track guys with dedicated cars and plenty...

All these people who can't wait to "push it through mountain roads to see what it can really do" should be taking advantage of the V-Performance Academy (especially because it's free if you're the first owner). What you think the car can do versus what it can really do isn't even close. If you...

Just because I like to track the value of my cars for historical reasons, I got an appraisal from Carvana for my '23, $99k build CT5 for $84,000, so that's not really an unrealistic number. KBB can say whatever they want, regarding what the trade-in price should be, but based on your estimates...

I'm on my second Lemon Law'd car (not the Cadillac, though). It's that easy in the State of Florida. Feel free to PM me. Quick edit: The car has to have been purchased in the State of Florida.

If it's in the shop for two weeks, notify Cadillac, and they have to complete the repair within 30 days or it's a Lemon, simple as that. Florida has one of the strongest Lemon Laws in the country. I'd waste no time getting it done, especially since you're saying that it's not going to be...

For all the Chicken Littles thinking it's something more than cosmetic, you might want to bring the car to a reputable frame shop to ensure the frame of the car isn't bent. You can never be too safe, right? After all, scuffs on a fender well and wheel scrapes are a telltale sign of major...
