Pics of your Blackwing in regular parking spots

[Ryan]

As I’m trying to figure out what color I want, I’ve been kind of surprised to read that electric blue (and rapid blue on the vettes) is pretty easy to keep clean, while rift metallic shows all the dirt. Kind of opposite from the traditional thinking.

And it’s still super hard to pick a color for the 4. Stand out with electric blue or radiant, blend in with subtle awesomeness of rift, or maybe that new midnight metallic…

Soooo... what you are saying is that you never taught your wife how to handle the stick?

Hahahahahahahahaha, I tried but she could not manage it!

IMHO my rift does not show dirt......

Maybe it's my OCD but it would drive me insane that the 4 tiles on each car are set up in a different order.

I never think about it....... But I'm back on my meds too...

Very nice!
May I ask what level of tint and how much it cost?
Also, I see you’re in La Belle Province. I’ll be there end of August visiting family in the Eastern Townships.
Any chance you had the work done in that area?

Thanks! Tint is 35% on all side and back windows and was done directly at Brossard Cadillac at no cost. They use Protex to do all their cars. Protex is located on Matte Blvd in Brossard. Really like the tint although I would have prefer a 20% tint on the back window. They did a nice job. Will have it ppf’d and ceramic coated early September at Top Wrap Canada in Montreal. I use them to do my 4BW (sold) and they did a great job. What is your ride? 5 or 4?

Mais non, vous devez être entre les lignes
And then the Ontario-en at angles as well.
Are the parking sensors/cameras in the Canadian 5BWs on constraint?

I kid I kid, those are 2 very cool cars!

Between the lines BCer

Not quite a regular parking spot....

GM Design had a car show today. I brought my wagon but checked out three 4BWs and two 5's.

This 4 is the lowest build number I've seen in person.

Nice head of the class 250! Why is the wheel wrapped in Micro Fiber? Mine is all leather? Just Curious.

The steering wheel and shift boot were optionally available in alcantara.

You're diffuser is uncomfortably close to that curb. I am cringing.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to bring it up...

Seemingly randomly applied focus blur from what I suspect is some kind of portrait mode is really bothering me more than it should in this pic!

On a somewhat related note, I had a Model 3 performance try to do the "surprise electric car acceleration" thing on a ramp between highways recently, and I don't think he fully anticipated that the "old-lady spec" Caddy in his rearview had him covered by a couple hundred hp/tq!
