Repair-It

He called again. I finally gave him a call back and said I couldn't convince my wife to drive something fast and interesting, which is mostly true. But even if I did, I wouldn't have done it with that car.

See, there are benefits to marriage. You now have the perfect test drive excuse.

Now it's a "NASCAR SPECIAL." Sigh.

Haha... I forgot about all those front wheel drive NASCARS. Please tell me it is automatic too.

Maybe by next week if it doesn't sell they will lower it a little and it can be an F1 Special.

It's kind of funny how he's clearly targeting the base (young enlisted) demographic.

I think if it were an Impala SS with the stock exhaust I'd be actually considering it to replace Jamie's car. But it's not.

In all seriousness, you should get her the STS-V from the other thread. I love those cars and with 50K miles for 15K it is a steal.

I bet it has more room than a Malibu Maxx too. (Assuming the rear seats go down)

The "NASCAR SPECIAL" treatment is gone again.

I got a call from another sales person (this time a woman). She left a VM. In the VM, she mentioned the GXP but also that they have "a couple Cadillacs." On my way by there today, I noticed a 2005 DTS (snooze) but also a 2007 CTS-V, black. And I think it had the Cadillac accessory wheels, which are sweet. I actually would be very curious to test drive it to compare 3 main things:

1. FG2 shocks vs standard FE4
2. Steering play!
3. LS2 vs LS6

I've driven two 07s but it was so long ago that I forgot what it was like. Now that I've very familiar with my 05, it would be very interesting.

By the way, the accessory wheels look like this:

False alarm. That 07 CTS is actually a sport package, probably with FE3 suspension. 18s and upgraded brakes. Looks like this: You can see why at first glance I thought it had the Cadillac Accessory Wheels. This thing looks pretty good actually, considering it's a non-V.

Here's the 07 CTS sport. No thanks to the sun.
