Same here. The only time I do the speed limit is in bumper to bumper traffic or when stuck behind a lane hog.

And Jim, I agree about the sunshade. Remember, the 2000-2005 DHS also had them on the rear doors and I moaned considerably when I found out my 2006 would only have the rear window shade. Now its going the way of the gas door release, parking brake release, and trunk closer. I guess Cadillac thinks we loyal owners won't notice that its missing.

My DTS Platinum has been delayed because of the American Axle strike and I had thought of calling the dealer tomorrow and cancelling that order and wait for a 2009, but maybe I'll just wait for the '08.....
