Here's a fun little 1 minute video from the WannaGoFast event last weekend. I discovered that my speedometer is slightly broken. The two clips in this video are the same run and 120 indicated on the speedo was 134 on the track timer.

I noticed a couple months ago that 75 on the speedo was about 80 on the GPS, but had no idea how far off it really was. Gonna have my mechanic take a look at that.

My 2012 Cadillac CTS with every available option including navigation, Xenon HID headlights, adaptive forward lighting to name a few of my favorites.

Thank you! You will love the ATS. I used to sell Cadillac and the ride is always nice! Not sure if you have driven an ATS yet or not, the 2.0T is a lot of fun to drive, and the 3.6 really pulls in that car. Only thing is that if you need backseat space, you will be very limited, as the car and especially the backseat are very compact.

For a car this large, this is quite pathetic. I sat in one and was dumbfounded that it had as little space as my old A4 and S4.....from 2002. I feel that my current 2 door E30 has more rear seat space as I am comfortable back there at 6' 3".

The ATS is not large by any means. The car is markedly smaller than the CTS. The car should have always been a coupe, as the back seat isn't really usable unless for children, or a very short driver. That would be the only way the back seat is really usable. Even my CTS though doesn't have an overly large back seat. My old Altima had a bigger back seat and was much more comfortable. lol
I have not driven any cadillac yet, the ATS really is a neck breaker and solely the only reason I'm considering purchasing one. 2.0T would most likely serve me best but who knows maybe ill take a spin in the 3.6 and it'll steal my heart 😀 Ive heard nothing but great opinions from people who own a caddy so hopefully by next year ill pull the trigger. Back seat space is not an issue for me. Nevertheless nice vehicle and sad you're letting her go.

Here she is, my very first car, and mercedes at that! 😎
It's a W202 1998 C230. Bought her two years ago with just under 218k miles. Two years later she's pushing 240k. Put some projector headlamps in, a bluetooth kenwood hd radio, kickers in the doors, rear deck lid, and a kicker sub in the trunk. Using Mobil 1 0w-40, just added some Lucas oil stabilizer to her last change. MANN OEM oil filter, swapped out her Bosch plugs and original wires for Denso U-grooves and Napa's Belden lifetime warranty wires. Bosch ignition coils. Still driving like butter 🙂
Eventually would like to get a newer Mercedes (I don't want any other kind of car, I'm staying with the brandokay, I do also want a Jeep but I'll always have one of these as my daily driver) and I have no intention of selling/trading her in. When the time comes I'll keep her as my toy/project car.

Nice ride and really cool interior shot! And good decision on having a dash cam! Unfortunately those are a really difficult legal issue here in germany (you can have them for private use but in most cases the footage does not get acceptet as evidence, you can even get a fine)! I would love to get one to protect my new BMW i will be picking up soon but i think i have to get in touch with my lawyer first

Traded my Optima in for a 2011 F150 Supercrew Lariat with Ecoboost. I love the added room and it has been nice to be able to move a few things without renting a UHaul truck.

I was never a fan of their older cars, up until I saw the q50 in person I fell in love. I was car shopping for a while and my budget was in the 40-45k range. I test drove everything in that range and was set on getting a C class (was ready to sign) but then I decided to hold the deal off and test drove the q50s and absolutely fell in love with the power and technology it came with. It cannot compare to MB/BMW/Audi in terms of bang for your buck and that C class seemed like a Base model now that I think about it. Lexus is another story, but I despise their styling, to me it is really horrible.
I mean I was limited to customizing the q50 which is a bummer as they have very limited choices, but one of the best purchases I have made (for cars). It Had a sticker price of 46k and drove with the car at 41k including taxes and fees. So I couldn't be happier.
Comes with enough power/options to satisfy my needs for now. As for styling it really grew on me and I love it more everyday.
Yea Infiniti sales are slow, The biggest problem I see with Infiniti in general is that they release way too many concept cars and not enough production cars. If they actually produce the Q60 to look like the Q60 concept I will pick that car up in a heart beat (even told my Infiniti Sales person). I read that they may not even produce the Eau Rouge which I believe is a huge mistake, they need to be more confident with their cars if they ever want to take a good chunk of the luxury car market. They need to prove themselves that they are not scared to compete with the German companies.
