    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Yup..., I like my R8 because I can use the R8 companion app on my phone. It lets you fine tune and change setting on the R8, much like you can do in PTM in the BW. I think they may have one for the V1 as well. But it has made my R8 much more useful for $10 R8 Companion App And this guy does...

    Does A Radar Detector Help Anymore?

    Why would I drop $600 on a top of the line radar detector in a state where it is illegal? Multiple reasons. Waze & my Uniden R8 are my "Wizzo's". They have pulled me out of trouble multiple times now on 95, and locally where my "Boss Hog" likes to hide behind the billboards. The prelude to...

    Blackwings and Watches

    no offence was meant, specifically for your hobby. I was just commenting on " time " as a whole. I put very little time into watching time. I will not let it dictate and command me. I choose to live life on my own lazy terms. : ) I live the life of..., I'll cross that bridge when I get there...

    Blackwings and Watches

    Hmmmmmm, never have seen the value in watches...., because then you have to be accountable. : ) But then again, I don't wear jewelry. Just to show you how outdated watches are...., I was on the pickleball court the other day, and asked the kid on the adjacent court with the huge ass watch...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    We got about 8 inches here in the burg. I couldn't even imagine taking my car out in this stuff. The air dam would essentially be a snow plow, and the ducting for the turbo radiators would be just filled with snow. But on the positive side of that equation, you would have ice chilled radiators...

    CT5-V Why is the exhaust so quiet inside?

    yeah..., I get it..., you want your cake and eat it to. When getting up the road, I like it in tour mode and quiet, however when going through tunnels, under overpasses, and between tall buildings..., I always hit the "V" button for that awesome rumble and pops. Not my normal thing, but when I...

    CT4-V Girodisc brake job + general maintenance at 61K miles

    Interesting....., noticed you only did the front brakes. How were the rear? I, along with 122 other BW owners nation wide are waiting on rear brembo brake pads. They are backlogged apparently. I've been without my BW since nov.18th due to no rear brake pads available. I thought I could do an end...

    Family Guy CT5 Blackwing?

    Probably one of the few oddballs that likes the Family Guy cartoons, but I noticed on their most recent episode that Peter's boss drives a CT5 Blackwing apparently. The sedan has a very similar shape, the non descript badge in the front is of a caddy emblem, the rear taillights are BW, as well...

    Conti Extreme Contact dws06 plus vs. Michelin Pilot Sport all season 4 ?

    Roadhawk and I are in the same neighborhood, and he's correct about his assessment. My car came from texas with summer pilots. I found out early on when I purchased it in January sub 30's, hard asphalt, I might as well have been on ice skates. It was lost on me initially that the tread pattern...

    Michelin PS4S issue

    well...., there does seem to be a common denominator it looks like. I mean..., I'd lean towards the tires, because I'm seeing a lot of the same inner wear issue. However, why does it seem to be located in the same area of almost all these tire? Does that allude to a suspension issue with the...
