Actually Steve is livin' my dream with his Caddy, but that's another whole story. I had wanted a CTS wagon, but they stopped that car in 2014. I see Cadillac is sporting a new platform in the CT6? I was just getting to like the XTS? Turbo 4, 3.6 V6, and an all wheel drive twin turbo V6? We'll see. Other than that I don't see anything that interests me. Maybe an LS swap in my Altima? 
Blueberry is jammed in the back of the garage, runs, needs break-in miles on the engine so I can relash the valves, only has about 100 miles on it since June. Dropped a lifter summer of 14....so the C5R 427 got rebuilt, new cam, lifters etc.
Of course the plan was to fix it, sell it and buy a new C7Z vert, but that just became her truck. Might flip the CTS for a newer one in a year or so, but I honestly don't use anything, the V is about 4.5 years old has 15k miles, the vette if I've put 3-4k in the last 5 years its alot.

So Underpantstaker is now talking about baby mobile's, barely drives his fast cars anymore, and has actually managed to keep his CTSV stock.
Global warming my ***, hell just froze over!!

god they were whining bitches......was fun dropping anchor on them at the boot and powering through it and killing their momentum.
The Caddy just got company today, just picked the wife up an Escalade baby mobile. Spent the day claying and compounding, gonna seal the paint tommorrow and give it to her Thursday.
I have to say they drive like savages on the island......but boy are there some winners down here. Lots of recipients of multiple driving awards for one meeting.

Came very close to pulling the trigger on Shark Gray, stunning color. I bought the ZO7 in Long Beach Red, have it a tad over two weeks.

Just picked the wife up a new Escalade, and with a kid on the way doubt I'd even have time to play with it, plus I've been putting some offers in on houses. If I wind up doing anything I'm leaning towards updating the 11 ctsv with 15k miles over a vette. I've kinda gotten into the big 4 door sport/lux idea.

I would make the V more fun too if I was you. Then you could still use it as a family vehicle. UT with a child, that is going to be scary.

After my son was born I held on to my C5 for over a year and a half years, it was just sitting in the garage. Sold it and now have the twin turbo Flex. So unless you want to be an absentee dad like Josh you will get more use out of a nice family hauler.
