This is what an idiot looks like. I wish they'd get wins of this and deny his warranty claim. View attachment 14827

I can't find his IG, did he delete it?

TBF looking at the state of this guy & that h2o nonsense, he could just be clout chasing on Instagram & the car is fine.

Maybe popped a tire instead.
#caddilac baybay!!! #hastagsgonnahashtag!!!

Imagine the people who would be impressed by that rather than repulsed like we are.

I posted this internally.

Cancel the son-of-a-bitch. Just kidding, I'm no SJW.

I've been watching "Greg Hardy" on the BW facebook groups for a while, and seriously FUCK that guy. He's the worst.

Just the sort to money shift while running from the cops and expect, and get, a warranty engine replacement. Go back to BMW, dickface.

I rarely HATE a complete stranger...ok I lied, I hate people very often.

But that guy, a minute of looking at his socials and I was like you're a(edited as again, I like my job).

Sounds like the Hunter Biden of Blackwing fame.

Looks like someone called him out on his FB post (why is his content public?), his response back was to call them a turd. Well, that turd has a working BW

 

[rdollie]

So he supposedly money shifted from 180 and fragged the motor running from the cops? Pretty sure any cop car can catch a Blackwing with a blown motor so why isn't he in jail?? (I refused to access this guys account and give him click counts so hopefully someone can give me the short answer.)

Observant, situational awareness.

It has been done. Relevant management reached out to me for the information I had.

Well done. If only the external communication was as efficient as the internal communication.

Meanwhile back to our regularly scheduled commiserations over media assessments of the Blackwings....

2023 Cadillac CT4 V-Series Blackwing RWD Review: The Most Exciting Sedan On The Market

The CT4 V-Series Blackwing can challenge any performance sedan on the market today.

I guess you can't be everything as the same group dubbed the Audi S3 as the "best compact sports sedan" even though the Blackwing scored more than a full point higher in their overall ratings.

Dang... we only got "Most Exciting Sedan on the Market"

I was hoping for "Fastest compact sedan with best EPA fuel economy"

It is entertaining that the only thing they could find to knock was fuel economy. Oddly enough I've heard people getting great highway mpg when not driving like a maniac

Tangentially - Interesting R&T article (rant?) on BMW:

It's Time to Face the Facts: We Aren't BMW's Target Market Anymore

The most compelling examples of “old BMW” are paywalled, behind a greatest hits-esque limited production scope and limited to halo models like the M4 CSL.

www.roadandtrack.com

You can tell that the vision for V/Blackwing was to pick up the 'ultimate drivers car' market that BMW seems to have abandoned. I hope GM sticks to their guns and carry this philosophy over into the electric era. The world needs fun enthusiast cars that haven't been worked over a hundred times with an ugly stick and which prioritize backseat entertainment/comfort above all else.

^not sure why they are complaining about fuel economy, I commute from 4,000' elevation to sea level and back, 125 miles a day, combo of mountain canyon and LA freeway plus Hollywood traffic 5 days a week and see no less than 21, on the freeway when I can hold a steady pace I see >23. That's not bad for a 3.6l TT v6 making nearly 475hp. I'm not complaining about economy at all.

Looks are always subjective, and fashion trends change with the times, but the factors that make a performance car a great driver's car have remained a fair constant. I like the fact that the 4BW is in many ways stipped down to the essence of a great driver's experience and less about all the techno gadgetry that really has little to do with actually operating the car at a high level of performance.

So yea I totally agree, and hope GM stays the course.
