Nothing says "always needs repair" like your local parts guy knowing you by name...

Nahh, The car really hasnt needed that much.. I did have to do the head gaskets but other than that nothing.

The parts guys just really dig my car, there are not that many caddys around here so they always wanna see it when I do come in.

I love blowing off unsuspecting kids at stoplights in the GS.

My local Napa guys not only know me by name, they know my phone number and I get a rather large discount. I give them lots of business from fixing random people's cars.

The employees at my local Advanced Auto know me by name also as well as the makes and models of all my cars, and yeah, I get a discount on some things also...

...but I've had to spend a lot on repairs before I got there....

... when 3000GT's, 350Z's, 300Z's, Cobalt's, Accord's, Civic's, hell. Ricers in general attempt to race me. Its always fun to slap it in 1st then 'fake manual' my way up through the gears. Nothing like pretending to have a manual 300 horsepower car w/out a clutch. LOL!

^What have you done to your car? I'm pretty sure a 350z can take down a stock STS

If youve ever beaten a 350Z, he wasnt racing you. An N/A 300ZX with a manual would likely beat you. A Cobalt SS would smoke you. An Accord V6 6-speed would likely beat you. I'll give you the 3000GT, because i doubt it was a VR-4, and Civic's are jokes...unless theyre swapped...or turbo'd.

And manually shifting an automatic when it doesnt even have a "Tiptronic" function is just retarded.

Sorry about the flame, but uhh, well, whatever.

If it makes you feel any better, you could smoke my '93 Altima.

Cobalt SS 0-60 - 5.5
350z - 5.6
Accord V6 Coupe - 5.9

'98 STS is listed as 6.8 here

................and more Cadillac graphs. On any given day an Accord V-6 will beat you by a full second.

V-Eight, You've never dropped a 4T80E into "1" and stuck your foot in the firewall and gone to top speed limiter fuel cutoff without touching the stick, have you ???

I love that feeling, except it's usually on my motorcycle not in my Caddy.
