Picked it up last Saturday when I came home from San Francisco on business.. All I can say is what a car.. I don't have to drive it; I just stare at it.. lol --

New Pics after its wash job today :)

The Entire Fleet -- BLINGING! An all day job.. And please take note of that large black cloud above to the left..
Image

Because here is what happened when it started raining.. Musical Cars and the WS6 didn't make it in time! But this has to be my favorite picture for now.. Good thing my ex-fiance and I didn't get married.. I have no idea where her Honda Accord would be fitting into this right now! There isn't any more room at my parents either.. unless I start using the farm equipment buildings!! lol EDIT -- All my cars have enough Auto Glym on them to probably make a cows hoof slick :) but look how far GM paint has evolved since 2000 until now.. Orange Peel who? PSS> I forgot to turn my BB Camera on Superfine.. so now the pics look good :)

Image

Had the windows tinted -- not extremely dark, but semireflective -- the pics really doesn't do it justice how good it looks complimenting Stealth Gray

Image

Smoke clear taillights from GM Accessories -- The 3rd one is currently backordered.. but I think it still looks good now with just the taillights.

Well my Blackberry isn't a good picture taker :) :evil: And my 7MP Sony Cybershot went on vacation a while back.. just without me.. lol --

I hate it for it but I think the SSEi is back to third, and I am also out of garage space.. my WS6 and it have to fight for that position because gramps sits on the right side and is kind of arrogant to other cars.. lol

Wow. Im jealous now. SSEi, WS6, AND STS-V....thats insane. On of my buddies has an 05 CTS-V and that thing is sick. Supercharged Northstar vs. LS6. I think the northstar wins. 468hp vs 400hp. I can't imagine how much fun that is to drive. I would be happy with the WS6..but hey if you can afford them all..more power to you.

I couldn't part with any of them.. and as many times as i have turned a wrench on the SSEi it drives good as a new on now with 100k on it! The WS6 I bought back in June 2000, didn't get the SSEi until mom bought her STS in 2005 (which got me hooked on the Caddy's -- and I test drove a silver CTS-V they had there in the showroom) so instead of trading, I just bought it from her (yeah I think I got a 'deal' on it too :) so I refilled my penny jar and have been looking around for a while. I *almost* held out for an '09 CTS-V but I like roomy cars (no the trunk is NOT as big as the Bonne).

Believe it or not I have only gotten on it hard a couple times but you don't have to to know its there if you want it... My VP drove it Tuesday (its one and only trip to work... lol) and he said he figured if he got on it hard it would suck the bottom of the gas tank.. i just told him it would probably crumple itself together like a Coke can :)

How does your car get the number 15 for a license plate?? No, but that is an AWESOME car. If someone gave me that car, i would $&%^ myself. You are one lucky B@$!@%d.

Competitive driving mode...

Nioce!

*whew* seriously nice car. I've always admired the STS-V from afar, because its about afar away from my bottom line and pocket book right now ;)

I remember reading about the STS-V before they started making them and even then I knew it would be on my wish-list. I personally would choose one over a CTS-V. Super-nice car man, now go get us some more pics!!!

Nice stable you got there. If I had those cars I don't know how I would choose which one to drive each day.

Beautiful car. :) The biggest thing I love about the STS-V VS the CTS-V is that the STS has an auto tranny. The CTS-V isn't available with an auto.

I do love my caddy also...
I was looking for a STS, or CTS, but I didn't want the payments, so I selected the DTS. It's still the performance model in it's group, but I bet nothing like the STS perofrmance.

I think in 5 years, it will be in my range...
