2nd Annual Denver, CO Cadillac Owners Meet

tweeter81 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-15-07, 12:27 AM

Hey all,

First off let me say, it is getting to be the season where all the cool cars come out here in Colorado and I have the itch for another Cadillac (CTS-Vs, and others) Owners Meet.

I want to send a feeler out there to get an idea of the interest and what would be a good time and place.

Last year, we met at the C.B. & Potts in the Flatirons area and had a good turnout of 10 CTS-Vs, 1 CTS, and a couple of other Cadillacs (and they were all cool). It was an awesome time.

This year I figured it would be fair to have the meet farther south to accommodate the guys coming from Colorado Springs or south Denver. I was thinking somewhere at or near the Park Meadows mall (unfortunately I have never been there, so I will need some help determining a restaurant to meet at). I also was thinking that June 24th might be a good day for the event.

Please post on this thread if you are interested in attending and if the above time and place will work for you. Keep in mind that the chosen place and time might not be ideal for everybody, but if you can possibly make it work, please try.

This will be a GREAT time to meet the other V owner's out there and share mod ideas, track experiences, drink some beer, eat a good meal, and just have a great time discussing one of the coolest cars ever made.

Let's do this thing!

I'm in. There are several good resturants around there, California Pizza Kitchen, Earls, Red Robin, among others. Let me know if I can be of any help, I live in Castle Rock, and work 5 minutes away from the mall area at Centennial Airport. Looking forward to seeing everyone again, and hopefully meeting a few new faces!

Good to hear Mike. As the date gets closer I may ask you to go ahead and pick the meeting place, but we still have some time.

Alright...that's 2 (including myself)!!!

Man if I still lived in Denver I'd be there in a heartbeat! You guys have a good time down there, do some burnouts in the park meadows parking lot - show those benz and beamer drivers what a real car looks like

Definitely plan this as a work trip and kill two birds with one stone. You will have a lot of fun.

That's 6 (maybe).

Hey All,

A little off topic question for you...

It is possible I might be moving to Denver and was wondering what it is like driving a V there? Can you drive year round - if not what do you do? Is there a dealer there that knows about the CTS-V?

Any info would be great.

I drive mine year round, but I have a set of snow tires that I use from late october thru late april. I use the 245/45/18 Dunlop Winter Sport M3's, they're great in the snow, but be very careful cornering in them on dry pavement. The only problem is when the snow is too deep for ground clearence (obviously). But we are known for having a few storms that really dump on us throughout the winter, so have a backup plan.

As far as dealers go, I've had no issues whatsoever with Don Massey Cadillac in Lone Tree, talk to Dan Turner, he owns an '05 GTO that he rages on all the time and understands our type of mentality (not implying anything). The techs have never jacked any repairs up either. Overall I've been very happy with them.

I definitely do not drive my V year round. I have a 2000 GMC Sonoma 4x4 for that. I would say that 8-9 months out of the year, the weather is perfect here, but the other 3-4 months could see tons of snow (like last winter) or not so much, but either way, it is almost a requirement to have a 4x4 to get you around when the big storms hit.

As far a dealer goes, I used Medved Cadillac in Wheatridge, CO which is one of the suburbs northwest of Denver and they do a great job. The service advisor is Tim Wilt and he is awesome.

If you make it out here before June 24th fee free to join us for the meet.
