What did you do to your Blackwing today?

I think a spacer was used in the front and hub rings front and back.

Fabricated a quick release fire extinguisher mount for my first track day coming up in a couple weeks.

Had my Apex Bronze wheels put on a few days ago. Today they are coming off and I'm putting the stock with the snows back on....heading to Vermont next week and they just got 15" of snow where we're going....also getting both sets of wheels ceramic coated today...

This guy buys cars to drive! Nuff, said!

I went and picked up my 5BW out of storage today. It's a crappy rainy day. I get in the car after almost 5 months and I feel like I'm just picking up the car from the dealer for the first time. I had to sit there for 10 minutes figuring out how to pair my ipod music. The first thing that pops up is the screen asking for a password to update or whatever it needs to do. I tried every password that I use or know of and nothing works. How do I reset the password? I don't even know what the password is for. Do I need to go to the dealer ?

 

[Roadhawk]

No clue...I'd be in the same boat...

A few more pics

Looks awesome! From the pics it seems they might be a bit darker bronze than stock. Do you happen to have a pic with both Apex and stock side by side?

The password would be for your profile you maybe created when you got the car. My profile is linked to mycadillac app account on my phone.

PW is your GM/Cadillac/ONstar global login PW.

I tried ALL the passwords that you guys mentioned. None of them work. I even used the password that the salesman put in when he was showing me how to program the system and his didn't work either. Nothing comes up asking to reset the password either. I will take a ride by my local Caddy dealer and see what is up.

***** Tried it again and it worked. I believe that I was out of wi-fi connection area when I tried it yesterday. I thought I was losing my mind over this. I write all my passwords down.

Changed the oil… this was the most difficult time I ever had in the 19 years I have been changing my own oil. The only hard part was the oil filter from the factory was over torqued. I actually went to the store to buy filter pliers and I still had a hard time. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

 

[FLYARMY]

There have been quite a few other posts about the first oil changes being a bytch. GM has hired a huge gorilla to install the oil filters , to make PETA happy.

 

[Deneed4spd]

Been the common theme not just for GM but for other cars I have own like Honda, Acura. Etc.

Rain in the forecast for the next 4 or 5 days. Couldn't stand the thought of it sitting in my garage dirty. Now me and my car are happy.

Go drive it around the block and give the brakes a few stops to get the post wash muck/rust off the rotors. then wipe it again, and park it before it rains.

I drove the BW to Der Dutchman last Saturday to get a box of donuts. Not far for me. I'm just SW of Delaware.

Very small world. I was at Der Dutchman in June. Didn’t have the BW tho…

 

[Dalyons03]

It’s a good day, flipped back to summer tires!

Cleaned up the brakes, wheel wells, and suspension pieces that I could wash easily

We helped the Phillies get their first win of the season today! ️

That's what this is for. Drive it, hit the brakes a few times, stop and blow them off before it has a chance to stick. Handy as all get out.

That's the good stuff mate! Love it when it happens to somebody else other than me! lol

I saw a You Tube review on this. The battery only lasts 10 minutes....but its enough to do a whole car.
