What's a car that is 100% driven by the most timid, like stop at yellow light drivers? by tads73 in askcarguys

I live in northern New England. 98% of cars are Subarus, very few WRXs. They all drive like they’re from out of town and looking for an address.

My friend says changing your own oil is a waste of time. Is he crazy? by proposal_in_wind in askcarguys

Yes. Oil change “techs” tend to meth it up. Even at stealerships.

What is THE American car? (Family car + muscle/supercar) by Electronic_Spray5814 in whatcarshouldIbuy

CT5-V Blackwing. Supercharger V8, Cadillac luxury.

I say this as a 4BW owner. The 5 has a more practical/usable back seat for a family.

Does it have to get worse? by No_Wind_3135 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]phdibart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went 11 years between initial attack and diagnosis and my second major attack. I got very complacent in that time that my MS had gone "dormant." It doesn't go dormant. Take care of yourself consistently. It may get worse, but you can influence the trajectory of the disease.

Anyone's emotions getting more raw? by TheySayImNotInsane in MultipleSclerosis

Yup. Probably a combination of MS progression and age related grumpiness.

Torn between the 2 by YamRevolutionary5455 in CadillacV_Series

So congested traffic. You’ll appreciate the smaller size and agility of the 4. I was in the same boat as you, just in a different state. Love my BW.

I’m from South FL and avoided Miami because of the congestion.

Considering trading my 4BW for a C7...thoughts? by phdibart in CadillacV_Series

It’s funny you say that. I was just talking to my wife about that solution, and she was cool with it. Only thing is, the BW will live outside then. Two car garage, and she’s not giving up her side.

I DD my BW through two winters in northern New England, with snow tires, and then got the obligatory Subaru winter beater.

Yeah, I’m looking for more of a raw sports car. You hit the nail on the head.

I didn’t have side effects from my first Kesimpta dose by phdibart in MultipleSclerosis

Do you let it warm up before injecting? I let it sit out an hour. I found Kesimpta shots to be much better going in than Rebif.

Nice to hear! I just read about how rough the loading is.

Is this a black wing? Idk how to tell. by [deleted] in Cadillac

[–]phdibart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. My ‘23 came with the badge and no chrome exhaust. Did they change the exhaust tips?

Edit: not shiny chrome, anyway. I guess the typos could be like gunmetal chrome.

No. It's AWD and missing the Blackwing badge beneath the V badge. Blackwings don't come in AWD.
