I have a set just taking up space in the shop in case you decide to go there.

Good luck with yours!

And off of bashing the old man/god for a moment....Joe, how do you like that little car? My wife and I are considering trading her '05 CTS in on one, since the Caddy is getting up there in mileage. I've drove one, and liked it, but don't know anyone who's bought one or lived with it at all...

Sounds like some of the officers I'll have on the range in a few weeks.... I'll probably be safest in front of them.

Well first off I have to say. For as small of a car as it is. Its very comfortable on the inside. Im 6'3 and dont even sit with the seat all the way back. 2nd last night my girlfriend and I took two of our friends out in the car and it fit us 4 very well!

Also. I got the leather package. I didnt like the interior feel nearly as much with the cloth. The leather really makes it feel a lot more cohesive.

The car is also equipped with the premium sound system, (pioneer) that sounds incredible.

The sport tuned suspension with the 17" wheels is also the ticket. the 17's have enough side wall to take the rough roads well, but it also kills it in the turns. Its been a blast getting on and off the highway

oh and the 38mpg on the highway isnt bad either.

All in all, for a sub 25K car, you are getting A LOT. My friend comented last night that her similarly equipped 2012 subaru legacy isnt nearly as lurxurious!

I love it and for the price you cant beat it! Its no rocket ship, but the mid range power of that little 4cyl is MORE than enough for everyday driving!

I love it, and Id sudgest it to anyone in the market.

My wife kinda wants cloth....the Caddy's leather is not holding up nearly as well as our PTCruiser's cloth did. She also insists on an automatic, so that'll put the kibosh on any fun... As far as the height issue- well, suffice it to say, as discussed earlier, I am in the majority on this forum, right along side Pete and Friz.....

Haha! Shorties unite! Hahaha

I got an auto.... It's a daily driver! I dont want to worry with driving stick. That being said! The 6spd auto is still fun! And if you must you can play around with the auto stick.....

Great!!! All I need is more of TMT's misguided aggression. Maybe you could just piss him off just a little, we could use more rain.

I actually have some printed cards I put on the windshield of cars that park arcoss the sidewalks here in our HOA. They read;

Thanks for parking across the sidewalk, it gives me a chance to practice my "Dukes of Hazzard" slide across your hood.

Then I call the police and get them ticketed. The Mighty Taurus is a ruthless violations office in the neighborhood.

The one thing I must-have on newer cars is bluetooth connectivity for my phone. It satisfies the hands-free cell phone law since we can't use our phones in CA anymore.

One reason I had to get the premium pkg on my mustang. Sooner or later, it will be on base models i would think.

Well Frizzie, if they would give you an unlimited supply of Fat Tire beer, you could head out and do this to every tree. The fire wouldn't stand a chance

Methinks he'd sprinkle his own head more than a tree....or maybe that's why he does it! We used to call that a do-it-yourself shower.
