    Just what those young children of yours need....

    To age myself, it was a Coupe Deville....
    My grandparents had a Deville. I remember driving it one day while I had my learner's permit. Had to turn the wheel 90 degrees to make a lane change. Cadillac has come a long way.

    Tell us about your impression.

    It's hard to fully explain. When I first got on the throttle I thought "This doesn't feel as fast as I expected it to be." Then I looked down and was doing 100 and had to shut it down. The car is just so planted and smooth that it's speed is very deceptive. It outruns and outhandles any other car I've been in which is a feat for a 4300 lb car. I still can't believe how good this car is in the twisties.

    The supercharger whine will never get old. The gas tank is miniscule and it gets the same mileage as my Explorer, but who cares? The best part is that no one in town really understands what I'm driving except the very few in the know. The majority of them think it's just a more expensive Cadillac, so that should keep the boy racers off my back.

    As the ex-owner of an Exploder, I appreciate that last, Tyler.

    Mine had a serious drinking problem; a voracious appetite for all automotive fluids.

    Haven't caught up on your thread; is it stock and for not for long?

    Idiots, simply by being idiots, seem capable of achieving randomly bad things that are beyond the imaginings of sensible people.

    It's stock and staying that way for a long long time. It's a lot of car as it is. If anything the stock wheels need to be cleaned up a bit. They have road rash from the previous owners and the wife was the main driver. If anything I'd take the opportunity to repaint the wheels to a gunmetal finish.

    Beautiful car! I know I said it on facebook, but congrats again!

    I test drove one earlier this year when I was shopping. I really wanted a V Wagon, they were just more than I wanted to spend. But dear God it is an amazing machine!

    Love it!

    I would have loved to get a wagon, but they were impossible to find within a reasonable driving distance, especially sub $40k.

    Any drivetrain mods will have to wait for a couple of years. I will just enjoy it as it is for now. It's plenty good enough for me and I simply don't have the luxury of time to mess around with it right now.
