I hope so.

all of the W-body coupes seem to have that. more importantly, SF has palm trees? I thought it got too cold there.

Always like to see the old timers come back.

well, the guy was really hot... but no, I had a NAIAS to get to.

I learned that homeland security will pass you through quicker if you tell them you work for CheersandGears.com and the vehicle you're driving is being featured on the front page.

No rule about posting here first. Post anywhere you like and post often! We love the discussion!

looking at the peak numbers isn't enough on these direct injection engines. I don't have the chart for the V6, but the 4-cylinder gets 90% of max torque at just 1,700rpm. That's very good for a non-turbo 4-cylinder.

Hell they almost look real!

But he didn't. He just went on a witch hunt.

I don't think that really ends it per say.... more like pauses it.

what are you talking about?

I don't feel like I'm being tied down.

We'll do our ceremony on our own schedule and we'll be married in our hearts even if the state doesn't agree. If Pennsylvania ever decides to crawl out of the past, we'll do another small simple ceremony again to make it official in PA's eyes.

I'm 5'10". I pushed the seat all the way back and confirmed that at it's most rearward setting, there is only 3 inches left. However, even with my legs stretched straight out towards the pedals, I had about 10 inches to go before I'd even touch them. When the seat is adjusted for me (and I am the physical mean in terms of height in the U.S.), there is plenty of room in the back. People 6'6", yeah, I could see where you'd have issues. I'm guessing you'd have the same issue in the 5-series or E-class. The acceleration of the CTS wagon is very brisk though it will almost always downshift twice to give you the speed you want. The CTS feels lighter and more delicate than the Lacrosse I just had. If I were to relate both cars in terms of heft and acceleration to a European model, the Lacrosse would feel like a 7/8s S-class. Cadillac is clearly trying to make the CTS feel C-class like while delivering the size of an E-class.

Reg, I stand corrected. While I was out today I took note and they are in fact Bridgestone Blizzaks. No wonder I'm driving through the blizzard thinking everyone else was just being a drama queen.

We'll be having the ceremony here in Pittsburgh most likely.

actually, all I did was censor my own comments. If I start posting my thoughts in this thread, it'll have to get moved to the Politics forum. edit: HAHA SOMEONE REPPED ME DOWN FOR IT! loser.

I'm looking for that setting and I don't see it. I'll have to do some more research.

I passed my exam last night and It's a beautiful, sunny day up here in Toronto eh? Gonna take the CTS out for a spin up to Oshawa. TED, I left you my number on Facebook. Call me if you want to meet up. I check out of here tomorrow.

Na, we don't much care if it's recognized by the state right now or not. Eventually we'll want it to be, but we're getting married whether PA likes it or not.
