Started shopping for my car a few months ago. Got smart and went to see a friend that owns the local caddy stealership and lo and behold there sits a brand new, 315 mile, 2005 CTS-V. He's tired of payin floor plan interest and diein to be rid of it. Snagged a low $30K, 100K warranty deal on the spot.

Got in the car yesterday and drove over 1100 miles up to central IL for a business meeting this morning. I'm lovin this car.

Well, here's "The Don V". It's a gangsta nick I picked up from some friends with the V. Not toooo flashy, but doin it with class and style.

Stealth Grey is a very nice color. That would have been my next choice :)
