Automotive

I try to drive the Blackwing year round. I look for a minimum of 40 degrees so the PS4s are not too miserable. We were in the 50s yesterday, so I got a 25 mile drive in. Harder to keep clean this time of year, but who cares. The joy of driving a manual tr...  

Just preparing taxes, and planning out the next month or two when it comes to work....

I have been doing the same. I loathe it.

It's the only silver lining to be found in it. Cheers, Filip

I GUARANTEE the fastest your Rift Metallic has ever gone... is with me behind the wheel ;-) But you can buy me lunch next time I visit. I'll drive to Julienne T's, as usual.

In these temps, the wheels will spin in 4th gear. Yes I am serious. That is what 659 Ft-Lbs and RWD does!! Yesterday, I started at a stoplight in 2nd gear. It will go past 80 at redline in 2nd. Sort of like having an auto for those slick roads. Seriously ... 

This one is enough for me.

My touring is on PS4S and I get out if it’s above 40deg F as well. Also my car sees about 5 car washes a year. ...  

Mine definitely is not a storage machine. I bought it for the joy of driving, and I smile every time I take it out. Probably a bit easier in a sedan than a true sports car. Next winter, I might buy a 2nd set of wheels and all seasons. It would make dodgin... 

But that Blackwing calls to me, nonstop. Like the gold to the Pirates in those movies...

Purchased for enjoyment, not collectability. I will acknowledge I am more careful with the car. It won't be parking at a shopping mall during the holiday season, that sort of thing. So much easier to keep good care of a watch.

It looks really clean just lots of metallic flakes-great ride

I adore the color.

Overweight, overpriced, inefficient... but so lovingly brutal!!

You're the best. Don't ever change!

Both black diamond paint. What a radical car that is! (Pics from Bring A Trailer) ...  

However, I know how the color can mask itself in lower light conditions! It really is special, with the metallic flake often hiding itself... until it doesn't. Thanks for adding the photos, my Friend. ...  

They have used that for years on Cadillacs. Black Diamond Tricoat is a very limited color that has only been used in a few model years.

Here an old shot to demonstrate - in a much more extreme variety 😂 ...  

Probably a much more appropriate photo for the post title!

In winter in a RWD car 😂

Kids skiing holiday till the end of the week. Them some business travel next week, then I should be more present again 😊👍🏻

Time to do some road trip posting again 😊

Will take a bit of time to write them up, though 😊👍🏻
