    Damn, I should get a nanny. But a little skinnier.

    MPG problem on new 2024 CT5-V Blackwing

    13mpg city. I have noted it doesn’t make much difference what RPM I shift at/run at. So rev to your hearts content as appropriate for the conditions. Those 13 miles are the best $4 I spend that day!

    Should I buy a new one?

    The problem is this is the pattern people want to see.

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    My only asks are no drone (like their B8 S4 had) and OEM style tips.

    I DID IT !! I bought the OEM Front splitter $$$$

    It’s a great addition. Did mine last year. Buy some extra clips, they break very easily removing the old wimpy splitter. Rexka 50pcs Bumper Cover Moulding... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PRDWDWG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    CT4-V Frustration with build quality

    Yes it’s a brilliant car. But just as important to me, after owning German cars, it feels good to be in the driver’s seat of a car made in America and support American auto workers.

    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    IDK about the 4BW, but on the 5BW when the clutch is slowly released in 1st with no throttle the revs jump up a little, once the car starts rolling I push the clutch in then release it quicker than the first time. Only done this method on flat surfaces.

    CT4-V Frustration with build quality

    Oil definitely won’t help, try ATF.

    CT4-V Some thoughts after test driving an auto 4-v blackwing, and asking for some advice regarding manual vs auto

    Hopefully you don’t let him drive it unattended. I know what I did with cars when I was 17. - So many stories I could fill up pages on this topic. 🤨

    Potential new CT4-V Blackwing owner, things to note on delivery?

    Paint defects. I used a bright flashlight and spent one hour going over the car and taking photos. CF trim and body parts inspect with flashlight and take photos. I had two damaged trim pieces that were replaced under warranty. Those parts are expensive.

    Potential Tremec M6 Reverse Lockout Issue

    I found out my Jeep doesn’t have a lockout (R is below and to the right of 6). Made a loud sound and jerked the stick out of my hand. That was many miles ago. Likely chipped some teeth, but nothing serious. Never done this operation in my 5BW. R is very far away from 5th. I think a money shift...

    Why does my HUD position reset every time I start the car!?

    In two years my HUD has reset to a very low position a couple times that I can think of. I wasn’t aware it’s tied to any set button or drive mode.

    Check engine light at 900 miles

    My main point is buy a high quality battery and use it as recommended. Oydessy batteries as essentially marine use batteries and are intended to be on a charger when not in use. I have run the battery down several times to very low voltages, Jeep would not turn over. I have a large drain demand...

    Brake Failure at 24K Miles

    A couple years back I was off-roadng in my Jeep, coming down a very mild hill and brake pedal went to the floor. Pumped the brakes many times and got some braking back. Between that and having a 6-spd it was manageable. Could have gone very badly if I didn’t have runway and was approaching a...

    Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

    Black is cool and a great choice for a MB S580 or Esky. It’s the paint maintenance that kills it for me. Bird shit on it for than a few minutes in the Arizona summer sun becomes more or less permanent. After some years the swirls become more pronounced and never looks quite as good. So far two...

    Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

    Well even less Infrared (122) were made in 2022 so maybe that’s even less popular?

    Any pics or videos of Deep Space Metallic on a real car?

    Unlikely to ever run into a Shadow 5BW since only 127 were made. Best color for my preference in 2022. Wanted something dark, but not black (learned my lesson on my S4) and under the radar.

    5BW Rear wheel liner missing screws?

    My 22 5BW has all the screws. The assembly robot ran out of screws and thought it was good enough.

    Check engine light at 900 miles

    My Odyssey battery in my Jeep is over 7 years old and I live in Southern Arizona. My secret, it’s constantly hooked up to a marine battery charger with proper amperage rating. My Blackwing is also on a marine battery charger a lot of the time. These chargers cost more than a battery but pay...
