Yeah, me either. I didn't like the bolster in the thigh area--
I found one in VA for $17k with 12k miles.

Do some research on the speed 3's. I looked at those before I bought my SRT4 Caliber. They have a tendency to pop motors stock or modded. Personally knew a few guys. FYI

I got invited to some car show tomorrow--mostly imports. I'm gonna go since I have nothing better to do and support my mate.
I was just thinking about this--outside car looks great, engine bay; fucking mess. Gah, I'm not cleaning her tomorrow. No hood popping for this guy.

If you want an easy way to get the engine bay looking good, Adam's In and Out Spray works great. Just spray it on and you can use it on vinyl, rubber, and plastic, both interior, exterior, and engine bay. The other thing I use that works great is Aerospace 303 Protectant. But the In & Out Spray is really easy, spray it on and then allow it to dray for a few minutes, quick buff, and things look great.

Doesn't help me when it can't be bought locally.
:bangin:
I'm gonna call Franklin Auto Spa at 8, see if they can have one of their minions do my engine bay--it needs to be cleaned anyways.
I just don't like leaving my hood open while walking around looks at cars; too many dumb turds in the world.
Just like I don't leave my windows down either. They'll just have to stare through my 15% tint LOL.

Stopped at a rest area on the way home from Detroit last night. I never carry cash anymore. But, I checked out the machines. I saw what appeared to be the edge of a bill sticking out of one. I got my fingernail on it and pulled out a mangled five! Free pop and chips!

I find this concerning.
Things are slow @ work today.
Have a died in the wool GM fan @ work who is looking to get a 2014. Likes my SHO but it's a Ford! Looked what he showed me:
2014 Cadillac XTS Packs Twin Turbo Power new V-6 engine option produces 410 horsepower
Starting in August, the all-new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 will go into production as an optional engine for the 2014 XTS.
The new Cadillac Twin Turbo V6 is also a signature feature of the upcoming all-new 2014 CTS luxury performance sedan. In the XTS, the twin turbo will produce an SAE-certified 410 horsepower (306 kW) and 369 lb-ft of torque (500 Nm), making it one of the most power-dense six-cylinder engines among luxury cars. The engine delivers 105 lb-ft more torque over the standard V-6 from1900 to 5600 rpm, providing seemingly endless torque for vehicle responsiveness.
“The addition of the new Cadillac Twin Turbo expands and elevates the XTS luxury sedan,” said Bob Ferguson, vice president Global Cadillac. “This is a compelling enhancement to what is already one of the most technically advanced sedans in our history.”
In both the CTS and XTS product lines, the twin turbo will be the centerpiece of a new model offering called Vsport. The new Vsport is inspired by and slotted “underneath” Cadillac’s elite high-performance V-Series models. Vsport includes the best-performing technical elements inside the “regular” car line in a single model, headlined by Twin Turbo engine.
The new Cadillac Twin Turbo is a comprehensive upgrade to the 3.6L dual overhead cam V6 that is standard in the XTS in the U.S. market.
The XTS Vsport model will be offered only in the up-level Premium and Platinum Collections as all-wheel drive.
I looked at him & said WOW that GM is really got a winner there, too bad they had to copy a 4 year Ford design to get it & stay away from that Guzzler Tax on their V-8 & can't wait to see sticker price. Maybe you should look at the Chevy SS. 415HP out of a 6.2L V8 WOwzzy!

Since you aren't going to talk him into a Ford...it tells you that he is somewhat closed minded. To bad, sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees...it's kinda like saying the only old muscle cars you like are Camaro's, 'Vette;s....who doesn't like them all. Sometimes you just have to admit there are a lot of good cars out there. I'm betting the Cadillac will come in at least 5G's higher then an equally equipped MKS. That's the car he should be comparing the Cadillac with, not the SHO. And I think the MKS is a lot better looking the Cadillac series, for some reason, I just can't warm up to them...but that's just me.

I love this converter.

It says I have 447HP at the crank! That might be English HP though.
