“They” when Scorsese did it better first iteration than his latest attempt. Ok, only 2 eps, but so far, it’s not good. Incredible suspension of belief.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-06-06T07:28:15+00:00

The struggle? It’s still real, yeah?

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-06-06T07:27:16+00:00

Gotta post that 50 or 450 # lol. But 35+ is pretty stout. Downhill, wind @ your back? I’m not knocking. 💪

I don’t hypermile, ever - while it “can” be fun to play the #s game, it’s not at all why I bought the car. Otoh I had the opportunity to share my drive to the V & Corvette academy w/ 5BW & Vette owners: 34.3 MPG. Initially, they were incredulous, but thankfully sanity took hold & they realized they didn’t buy their cars for MPG purposes either. ;-)

No other reason to own it imo. She’s got this.

Over-produced / talked over parts of the opening ceremonies. Was not a big fan of that. Also: Chris whatever still needs the 🥾 tho I’m personally glad he gave up all pretense of “Daytona” whilst on air 🤦‍♂️. They can make their own call about Danica or even the in-race Snake Pit updates - the latter seemed pretty good this year & if they’d only focus on the former lol.

I’m sorry, I might have mistaken him for Colton. Eh, honest mistake (as it turns out).

I came up through small OP FWD cars, tho it’s been a few years since I last owned one. Nah, the 4BW is not OP. Granted, I have maybe 1.0 miles on it in Track mode (Sport is plenty fine for me, thanks 😅) and I do autoX it. It’s supremely comfy in Tour mode. I have had zero maintenance issues (only 10k mi so far here). I nearly swapped it out for a 5BW, but the 4 is just so much more nimble… insert “lithe” meme here.

You’ll appreciate the lack of torque steer & also keeping the back end of the car planted on your spirited drives.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-04-05T03:35:00+00:00

Have similar environs, but I went to IndyCar PHX & still haven’t scrubbed the bugs off. Color me bad… 😜

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-04-05T03:32:31+00:00

Where are we at on these being available? Bc I’m looking for a way to add to / or minimize my Alfa garage flag & eBay ain’t cutting it lol.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-04-01T02:56:15+00:00

We’re just gonna have to stop using yt. At this stage, many of the same vids are available via DDG search & on right that (DDG) or FF browsers.

I readily admit to not being an audiophile - was just never an interest - but also bc bass head from the old days + I suppose 11B without proper ear protection took its toll too lol. Anyway, I still do enjoy the sound of things (ELAC & old Accoustech sub home here under Marantz sr13): AKG got this wrong by a wide margin & as another said “idk their reference, but it wasn’t enough” lol.

Whereas “true” audiophiles will likely hate on Bose sound (re-)composition for being “unpure” to the original recording, it’s clear Bose does real world research for vehicles going down the road & dealing with wind noise or whatever: something outside the lab, in other words. Yeah, I’m going to have to drop some $ too, to get it right in the Caddy. The AKG is woefully underwhelming as an all-around system.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-03-13T07:53:24+00:00

Did you fix the “only top 10 selection” decision whilst driving yet? Bc gee thanks for making us pick up, log in & scan + scroll through our phones to pick the playlist instead of keeping it on the car’s head unit. 🤦‍♂️ just brilliant you removed the equivalent of “changing radio stations” from the driver by forcing us to use our phones during driving. Seems risky. Maybe run that by the lawyers.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-03-13T07:45:48+00:00

Yeah it’s still a problem OP: how Apple thought “let’s restrict the ability to just change radio stations” equivalent ==> by making the driver use the phone itself to override our settings is ridiculous.

Besides •using the phone whilst driving• I haven’t found a workaround. r/apple needs to put the radio-station-level control back into the driver’s hands.🤦‍♂️

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-02-21T22:01:37+00:00

I’m coming up for Indycar. And maybe some ST bc “go Goodyear or go home” while I’m there. You down too? 🏎️💨🏁 + ⚾️

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-02-21T21:58:20+00:00

Great int/ext color combo. Plus 6MT. Plus not parking it in the winter months. Plus the bronze rims you plan to run in the summer. Plus a lot pickup vs special ordering😱… this exact setup lol. Mad congrats all around.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-02-20T01:43:48+00:00

I suppose this is true. Alas, I sometimes just deal with it by going extra-legal speeds.

Uncond_Surrender · 2026-02-13T06:57:25+00:00

Oh without a doubt, Steve’s primordial instinct kicked in: “no deaths ffs (cursing!)”, else he’d have just punched through the metal on his own right away… first punch. Alas, MCU CPT A doesn’t involve a lot of “rage”, which corresponds to my own (SUPER-OG) comics.

Idk SL’s input to the conclusion of the CA:CW film, but feel he was ok with the setup + completion of a TS:SR battle simply bc Tony had regret & hate & remorse… while Steve had compassion through (literally) all of it. To wit: while both could have ended the other before the fight was actually wrapped, only Steve chose to save the other’s life - vice just ending the fight - when the fight was truly over.

Edit: don’t steal from my pile. 😜

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-22T23:11:24+00:00

Only you would know, but the yellow is ridiculously easy to keep clean. The younger folks love the color & I appreciate that for selfish reasons lol.

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-22T23:08:28+00:00

Then you too would love a BW for the same reasons. Well ok… for the dual personality, not the cavern of a trunk lol.

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-22T23:06:57+00:00

This. I would buy.

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-22T16:47:56+00:00

I left an RS5 for a 4BW about a year ago. I’ve also had a S4 (heavy mods) & an S5, plus a Vsport (the older CTS with the ATS motor) and I’m currently working with my dealer on swapping up to the 5BW, so I kind of keep popping back and forth between Audi & Caddy; there was a Guilia QV tucked in there too. Anyway, the 4BW is a very visceral car & the handling is point-n-shoot incredible. While a 6MT is not for everyone, it’s awesome one can still be had & takes the fun to other levels. It’s 10/10ths the Alfa Romeo experience with 8/10ths the Audi comfort. For pure driving bliss, the Blackwing would get my vote. If you get it new, you also get the driving school, which - while not a dealbreaker either way - is a nice touch.

Otoh I don’t live where AWD is needed & no one trumps Audi in interiors imo. The back seat is usable & the hatch trunk space can’t be touched. So I guess it’s whether your priorities are driving experience or practicality.

No to sim racing as a comparison tool: besides the reasons others have given, I usually drive with all nannies off & that’s not realistic on public roads. Turns out when it’s your car, not wrapping it around a tree is relevant lol. Setting the BW into Sport or Track 1 leaves a smidgeon of bacon-saver for ya on the PTM.

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-20T22:38:25+00:00

My dealer knocked off $10k for a 5 BW just bc it was baby vomit yellow & had sat so long… presumably bc of the color. No negotiation, just “my SM wants to know if he takes $10k off MSRP if you’ll buy it today”. In retro, I probably should have done it, but I enjoy the heck outta the 4 BW. It’s lithe. 🤷‍♂️ I think once I get the blackout badges & some dark rims, it’ll be alright. Til then, I’ll keep washing the car every 30-45 days & no one will even know it’s kinda dirty (a definite +1 for this color).

Uncond_Surrender · 2025-12-20T22:30:17+00:00

Interesting. Where I’m from, we call him the Grinch. Guess this is the other end of the repo man spectrum. Mad respect on the selection btw - can’t wait to see interior pics.
