My new S60R after ~200 miles of driving around on Saturday. It was a good day.

I really do need to take the drive up Mt Washington one of these days. I haven't done it since I was a kid. Edit: Speaking of which, here's a dude with a deathwish riding it on a dirtbike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1DjEO-tnZo Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Sep 27, 2013 |

Well my S60R is in winter mode now, got a set of new X-Ice 3's and a 4 wheel alignment (really needed it). It really does make a world of difference having proper winter tires instead of worn UHP all seasons. The past few storms I only lost grip when I intended to. Found a good local parking lot for some donuts too. I wasn't sure what the effect of winter tires would be on my ability to do donuts, thankfully it just made them more exciting, since I have to give it a lot more gas to properly break all 4 wheels loose. The only problem is I kick up so much snow I feel like I need wipers on my side windows.

Went to pick up new tires today and stopped to watch some trains while I was at it.

When I had a 96 subaru legacy I came out the grocery store, opened the door to what I thought was my car and thought "wait, I don't have an air freshener hanging from my mirror". Turns out, my car was on the other side of a van that had pulled in since I parked, the car I had opened happened to be an identical white 96 legacy with burgundy interior, who, like me, couldn't be bothered to lock his doors.

I got rid of my S60R and replaced it with something more... 'merica.

Abe Froman posted:My brain has lost the ability to post pictures but I also picked up the same car on Monday (same color too) so I am co-opting your post. That's a weird coincidence. Which drivetrain? Mine's a 3.6 AWD. I wanted a 3.6 RWD premium for the magnetic ride control and LSD but the closest one was 450 miles away and it was kind of an urgent problem as my S60R had started quietly telling knock-knock jokes. Fortunately it only did so when cold or reved above 5k so the dealer didn't notice.

El Scotch posted:In Canada dealers pretty much stock AWD Cadillac models only, with a rare base model RWD thrown in. I gotta say the AWD model may not be the best version, but it's still damned good. I just need to get some Pilot Supersports on this thing. The all seasons it came with are the weakest link.

I suddenly understand why you put up with your commute. I didn't think it was possible to buy a house* for that cheap outside of Detroit. *maybe a little generous given what I've seen of your renovation topic, but still technically true.

Welp, after waiting a month for the dealer to get the title in I finally picked up my car yesterday. It's a 2017 CTS V-sport and I love it.

I kept mine for 5 years, in which time I put about $14k into it including a nightmare process of multiple failed (auto) trans rebuilds. I got rid of it when the engine started telling knock knock jokes at 140k. That was with a shop doing all the work so if you DIY it will be cheaper. By most accounts I got a borderline lemon though so I doubt yours will be that bad. The good: the most comfortable seats of any car I've owned, beautiful inside and out. Felt quicker than the numbers suggest. Sounded great. The bad: cost. handling was good but not great.

Pre-K Bikini Carwash posted:Vsport fam Yeah it's pretty silly how well it handles for such a large car. I may have to try taking it to the track at some point, though I've read it has serious brake fade issues. Hardly surprising for a 4,000 lb car. I think it's a perfect daily driver. Comfortable, roomy and able to scare the poo poo out of your passengers on an onramp.

It's such a massively fun car, emphasis on massive. I've had mine for just about a year and I'm still floored by how good it feels in hard cornering. It's more fun to throw around than my 500 Abarth was.

Darchangel posted:That sounds perfect for me. If you can find one near you to test drive check it out. I had originally planned to get an ATS-V instead but they're about 6-8k more for similar year/mileage and after driving the V-sport it was good enough that I changed my mind. I wanted a 2017+ specifically because that's when they added android auto. Downside is the 2017+ cars are exceedingly rare with less than 700 produced. There were only about 4,400 V-sports made in total.

When I got my car it had a bunch of scratches and swirls from the previous owner's use of brush carwashes. I just got a full paint correction and ceramic done and it made a world of difference.

I've found ceramic has made it much easier to keep my black car that I park outside looking nice. That said, I manage to keep it mostly out from under trees so YMMV.

Butt Science posted:The Vsport needed new tires, and a set of TE37 knock offs wasn't materially more expensive than the tires themselves. Not gonna track this car where they might explode under hard cornering or something, so figured why not O hai v-sport buddy. I'm rather fond of the stock wheels on mine but I wanted to get an extra set for winter wheels and they're both unobtainium and expensive as hell.
