New to this forum and Cadillac ownership and wanted to say hello. Proud owner of a new to me 2008 CTS 3.6DI black on black, fully loaded luxury sport. Does anyone else find themselves just starring at your CTS? First Cadillac and what a beautiful car.
Hello Cadillac owners

Welcome, I've had people come up to me in parking lots asking me about my CTS. Mine is black on black as well, seems to attract a lot of attention.
My red coupe has garnered as many "oohs and ahhs" in three months of ownership as my previous BMW 335i did in a year.
Welcome to the forum and post pics when you can. We love pics around here.........

Yes I do. I have a daily commute to work of 2 hours round trip. I've drove little cars with good gas mileage for years now, and decided I've earned a good car for these long trips. So I bought my CTS for my commute. Well, having said that, I drove it the first week I had it, to work. Then decided it's too nice to be driven every day! I also refuse to drive it in the rain. Any chance of rain and it stays in the garage. So, what do I do? I get home, and catch myself staring at it! Dreaming of a nice day to take it out. It's a 2010 Premium with 35K and I just don't wanna rack up the miles on it. So, back to driving the Corolla! Maybe some day it'll see the road again!

No, no, no. These cars are meant to be driven. or the please, for the gawks and stares and for the well being of the vehicle. I understand your reluctance, I hesitate as well. I hope it s at least your weekend driver! I just keep her out of the snow, with RWD and heavy foot...bad combinationYes I do. I have a daily commute to work of 2 hours round trip.

Ditto! Had mine since November.
It's like a not-so-secret club. I just had a guy in an older DeVille(?) give me a big thumbs up as he drove by, and thats not the first time. I have to turn and stare at my car almost every time I get out of it. It's almost made me late for work on occasion.
My grandfather would wave at every other Cadillac he saw on the road, with a "hello fellow Cadillac owner" that was of course when they were not quite as common as they are today, and perhaps held in a higher regard.

smokescreen, I read your post and saw the "thumbs up" comment. I knew right then you had a coupe before I even looked at your avatar. Nice! If you had a wagon you would have gotten two thumbs up!!!!!!
You know they say that when you stop doing that, it's time to get rid of the car. At least that's my philosophy.

My CTS is my 5th cadillac and my most fun I agree when another caddy owner merges in traffic or drives near me its like a cadillac respect we tend to help each other out even when parking seems like when leave a store to walk up to my car there seems to be 2-3 caddy's park next to me spaced out enough not to hit the car door but not enough to let anyone else park close. I like it the not-so-secret caddy club lol you may have started something should we get shirts made
I had a guy in an SRX offer to trade me for my coupe today. Uh, no ... but thanks! I have only had her for 2 months and still find myself just staring. These cars really are lookers!
I feel this strange motivation to take pictures of it whenever I wash it, so now I have like a hundred of all the same pictures. It's just like, I look at it and get all giddy, like "damn, I have just the coolest f'ing car"
