New Baller Ride

[pilworx]

i'm soo stoked, just took possession of my super sweet new ride, a 2007 Caddy CTS.
i was getting a little worried here when my previous ride (totaled in a recent accident) just didn't warrant a driver with Rollies and Breits...lol

it's all smooth now....except for the wife, but i'll work on that.

behold...

Looks good, but caddilac isnt my thing, nice anyway though

Can I ask how the accident happened?

 

[jerryss]

Nice - had a 2003 myself- you also have the nice Sport Edition grile, too - looks good!

I use to own a CTS as well. I bought the 2007 brand new as I was impressed with the style and the fact that it was the car of the year. It is an extremely nice car and I know you will love it. I am a Lexus guy now so I traded my CTS in for my 2010 Lexus.

thanks for compliments guys. ;-)
@ deloreandmc....haven't had an accident in over 25 years, but with the sun in my eyes in stop and go heavy traffic i rear ended a truck bumper which blew both my airbags....good buy ride.

2000 ford focus with 330,000 + km = toast

Ok, I understand now.

My ford focus(2000 year) is approaching that also.

Was yours the sedan?

 

[pilworx]

yeah, the sedan. it was in great shape. i kept it well and could have driven another 100,000 + km i bet.

Vry likely, those cars hold up well, despite having a TERRIBLE plastic interior...

 

[donaldejose]

Many people I know who have this car really love it.

 

[pilworx]

yeah it was Car & Driver's car of the year in 2008. i've always loved the design, it's kind of a love it or hate it thing because of how bold it is. i like it because it IS different than the european sedans, stands out in the sea of BMW's and Mercs.

No offense, but on the love or hate scale, I am in the hate side.

NOT a big fan of cadillac, but it still looks nice.

 

[pilworx]

no offense at all.
it's just that kind of styling. bold enough to polarize either way.

 

[J.Prime]

Love the color Pil..

 

[pilworx]

Love the color Pil..

thanks Croc, Thunder Grey.
i'm just now sitting in the auto glass shop as I just sustained my first windshield chip cruising down the freeway.
aaaarrrggggg!!!

I picked up my CTS a few weeks back and have been amazed with the quality. Traded in a 90k Mercedes and would do it again in a heartbeat. The couple minor things I had the dealer adjust were no issue (im very critical of my cars) and not the common no issue found that I experienced with my previous M dealers.

Lexus quality is amazing too, never had an issue with my sc430 the entire time I had it... but the electronics are a little behind the times, the toys are nicer on the cadillac.

 

[teamroper24]

the cts is a nice ride (2010 red) but the ctsv is just a monster bad car, bad as in fast.

 

[pilworx]

yeah, no question the new v is just a drop dead sexy piece of machinery.
