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 transmission is always worth it!

Yeah, I'm back home now.
Just preparing taxes, and planning out the next month or two when it comes to work....
Planning taxes, YUCK. You should have stayed gone!
I have been doing the same. I loathe it.
Hopefully the return will be the highest I've ever had thus far....
It's the only silver lining to be found in it. Cheers, Filip
Keep dreaming, M4.
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.
Ha ha, that's funny.
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 ...
She is a head snapper! Crazy to think how much faster some other cars are.
This one is enough for me.
I know the feeling on all accounts Michael!
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. ...
Looking real good there, JP.
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...
Thanks Sir. I am a truck guy by nature, which is what we need this time of year.
But that Blackwing calls to me, nonstop. Like the gold to the Pirates in those movies...
No different than watches for me. I wear them all.
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.
Classic American power
Overweight, overpriced, inefficient... but so lovingly brutal!!
I saw Two (2) CTSV Coupes yesterday within 10 minutes of each other
Both black diamond paint. What a radical car that is! (Pics from Bring A Trailer) ...
I would say that is Black Raven...
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. ...
Probably GM's "Black Raven" paint
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.
A bit of grit is always a good look 😁
Here an old shot to demonstrate - in a much more extreme variety 😂 ...
Absolutely! That was before the failed attempt to traverse the closed Bayburt Of Yolu…
In winter in a RWD car 😂
Been busy…
Kids skiing holiday till the end of the week. Them some business travel next week, then I should be more present again 😊👍🏻
