Default Got a new DD

I'll miss my Yukon as it was a great ride and very comfortable and capable. It was very reliable too with only a few very minor issues during my 4 years and 75k miles of ownership.

This is the new DD and I love it. GM is building some great vehicles nowadays:

Ballin! Very nice cars, although the gas mileage scares me.

Sick! You'll have to do a video of it going from 0-XXX mph, just like the Yukon and Vette.

I work at a GM dealership and had the opportunity to take one of these for a test drive and it surprised the hell out of me. Awesome car! Is your's stick or do you have the paddle shifters?

I got the 6L90E automatic as it's a daily. For the manual tranny fix, I have the Vette. Car also has the ultraview sunroof, Recaro seats, and some dark wood trim package. It's pretty much loaded. Only option I didn't get was the suede steering wheel as I thought it would wear over time worse than the normal leather wrapped wheel. It's a blast to drive. Very smooth with great suspension compliance. The mag suspension is a marvel. Car is much better insulated from road and wind noise than the Vette. Power is very strong almost surpringly so when you're cruising at 30-40mph and floor it. It downshifts instantly and just takes off. Only downside is horrible gas mileage (people normally average 14-15mpg in mixed driving), but I knew that going in. It's worth it to me.

I took off all the V badges, the CTS emblem and dealership emblem. Tint goes on this coming Saturday.

Jon, I will definitely try to get some 0-xxx videos taken and uploaded before too long.

Black wheels don't do it justice...

Yeah, great car, but black wheels on a white car make the wheels look small.
