| Today I had a chance to drive a CTS-V and turned it down. I know. You're all thinking I'm crazy. I've been reading and learning about the CTS-V for the last couple weeks.
Today I had to go to the big city (Washington DC) for a meeting. If I didn’t have to go to the meeting I was planning on going to Summit Point today to mingle with the people that went to the V-day III event. Even though I finished early I didn’t have enough time to go to the track so I went to a local dealership to see this beauty/beast in person.
Today's reconnaissance was to see how the exterior, interior, and options look in person so I can decide what I want on mine. They had 4 for me to drool on and touch, plus one that was sold and ready to pick up. I have to sell one of my rides so I can come up with a deposit that will enable me to have a comfortable payment. I know if I got to drive it I would be intoxicated by the power and willing to do anything (anyone need a kidney?) to get one home sooner than my well thought out plan.
About 5 yrs ago I sold my ZR1 Corvette and have missed driving it. The news lately (Natasha Richardson, Billy Mays, Michael Jackson) has got me thinking about how short life is and why not enjoy it if you can without jeopardizing your future. That's why I'm almost ready to start locating my next toy/daily driver.
Thanks for all the info you provide. |
