C'mon atleast up the boost and give it a tune!!!

Congratulations on the promotion!

Car looks great. Did you consider the Audi A5 with full time AWD? Just curious.

I think the ATS is a nice car with the 2.0T. Mrs. Number 3's car is the sedan with that engine. wasn't quite as good as our S4 which has been replaced with the SS RWD which now has the Continental All Seasons on it. It does pretty well in the snow so far.

Thanks!

I really didnt consider the A5 because it only had 220 HP and I wanted to be closer to 300.

If it's relatively consistent year to year, it will be around the performance of the 3.6 LFX. ~low 6 second 0-60. Not bad for a luxury with a 4 banger.

That is a nice looking Caddy.

I'm sorry..and I mean nothing by it....but I have to ask.

For the price difference in trade between your 10' SS and the new Caddy...couldn't you have gotten a 2nd ride that would get you around in the snow? Just thinking, b/c then you could have kept the Camaro.

Anyways...car looks great! Glad you like it.

I thought about just getting a 2nd ride but used cars are so damn expensive these days. I looked for a used 4x4 truck or SUV but I couldnt find anything I liked with less then 100k miles on it for less then 10k.

Cadillac had some good deals at xmas and I had decent equity in my car so my payments are actually pretty similar to what they were in the Camaro. Less then 100 a month more.
