    Jack Cooper Transport going out of business after almost 100 years

    I just caught this story about Jack Cooper going under because Ford and GM decided to cancel their contracts with the auto transport company. When I was patiently waiting for my 2022 CT5-V BW to be delivered, during the goat rodeo days, you could actually call them and get a nice lady to tell...

    New Book...."Victory Driven" Cadillac V-series by Andrew Nussbaum

    I just received my edition of the book from Amazon today. It costs about $120 ! It is a very well made hardcover book. It also weight 5.25 pounds! Tonight after dinner I will commence with the reading. I think I bought the last one that was available . I will kick myself if I later see...

    My headache of not owning a garage.

    I don't have a garage on my house and it is a real pain for someone who owns 5 cars. When I bought the house in 2005 , I planned on building a 2 car garage with lifts and a loft mancave. My local town denied my application for BS reasons. If I had known that I could not build a garage , I...

    Dealership Hourly Rates

    I just dropped my 2022 Kia Telluride off at the local dealer to get the check engine light looked at. I looked on the wall and had a heart attack ! $ 210 per hour labor rate ! I need to move out of NY. The Kia dealer is the same owner as the Cadillac dealer. They probably all charge the...

    The NEW Cadillac Celestiq and Sollei

    I have been a lifelong fan of Cadillac design over my 60 years. Some models were a swing and a miss (Cimarron to name one.) The new Celestiq is priced for only the mega-wealthy, although, the way I have seen some $250,000 cars being sold on Barrett-Jackson for $40,000 after only 10 years old...

    CT5-v and Blackwing Movies

    I just saw my first movie with a CT5-V as a "hero car". Michael Keaton stars as "John Knox" , hitman with onset dementia. At least he drives a classy car. Post if you have seen any other guest appearances of V's or Blackwings in the movies or TV shows.

    Alarm goes off for no reason.

    Its 12:58 am and my 5BW alarm suddenly goes off. I jumped out of bed and look down on the car from my bedroom window. I go and check my security cameras and the car alarm is activated for no reason whatsoever. Anyone else have this happen to them ?

    Miles Per Gallon road test

    I was driving to put my 5BW/automatic away for winter storage. I decided to set my cruise control to 55mph and just let it rip. I hardly ever drive at a 55mph constant speed. It was heavy rain and it was a safe bet. I ended up getting 25 mpg on a 62 mile trip instead of my usual 13-15mpg...

    This was weird.

    I connected a positive and negative connection to my 5BW trunk battery. It is a quick connect pigtail plug for my battery tender. Trying to attach the alligator clips was a royal pain the butt. The plastic cover that protects the positive terminal area is way too tight and you need to remove...

    Made a new ZO6 owner cry today.

    I was at a local car show tonight and parked my CT5/BW at the far end of the parking lot , for a quick gettaway. An older gentleman (70's) pulls up to park in front of me with his 3 day old blue ZO6. He gets out and I check out his ride , since its the first 2023 ZO6 that I have seen in the...

    How many of you with a 4BW or a 5BW actually took one for a test drive before buying?

    I didn't even take a CT5 or CT5 -V for a test ride. I already knew what I was getting into. I also bought my 2022 Telluride without a test drive.

    Third Brake Light Flasher/Pulser

    Has anyone installed a 3rd brake light flasher on their BW4 or 5 ? I have one one my Challenger and it was a plug and play, that works great. 5 minute installation. Step on the brake and it flashes 3-4 times and won't flash again for 15 seconds as not to annoy drivers behind you. Please...

    AKG Premium Speakers

    I have noticed that 2022 CT5-V BW's state on the window sticker 15 speakers. I look at 2023 vehicles and it says 16 speakers. Can anyone tell me where all of these speakers are located and why the difference of 15 and 16 speakers ?

    What "don't" you like about your BW"?

    I only wish that they had put a sunglass holder up in the overhead. Also, not a fan of the battery going down after being parked for a while.

    Winter is coming !

    As the message on Game of Thrones said..."Winter is Coming". I will probably park my ride in the garage for the coming winter , after Thanksgiving Day. BUT, in case I change my mind, what winter tires are BW owners putting on their BW5's for the winter regions ? I was looking on Tire Rack...

    Cadillac Umbrella

    Just got my Cadillac logo'd umbrella that I bought on Amazon. I saw somewhere that Cadillac carried it as an accessory option and the CT5 doors have a pocket for holding an umbrella. It actually is a well made and came in a nice cardboard box (not cheap crap) and also came with a leather-like...

    Oil Changes

    My ride just hit the 1000 mile mark. After it hits the 1500 mile mark, do you guys think I should do a "break in oil change" ? I have a Kia Telluride and "the book" calls for oil changes at 8500 miles. My engine guy who rebuilt my 67' Caddy engine told me that 8500 miles is ridiculous and...
