LegacyGTBiggie Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 So yeah.... Flew to indiana saturday morning(flgiht left at 6am)... Got the car(at about noon) with 50% tread performance summer tires on it. 30 minutes into the trip... 8" of snow started falling. So after a hour of snaking and some VERY careful and slow driving. I made it to the ohio border and limped the car into a hotel parking lot. Spent the day/night stuck there. And then went to walmart to get some all season tires put on(thank god that they carry and had in stock a 245/45/18 tire). Left walmart at 10am and drove through ohio/west virginia/Pennsylvania/Maryland to get her home... Pictures to follow. But im fracking HOME! 06 KN intake / magnaflow CBE / H&R springs / UUC shifter / CAGS If you know anything about the Cadillac CTS "V", then you understand how awesome this car is. It has very low miles on it for a 2006 and still has a factory warranty for either 100,000 miles or 2-1-2012. I have all maintenance records. This is the LS2 engine. It has never seen snow, storage keep in the winter time. I've had the wheels/grille powder coated, installed a Magnaflow exhaust, UUC shifter, K&N air intake and H&R springs. I still have the stock air intake and springs just in case new owner wanted to switch back. Most of the driving was on the highway. This is a super fun and clean car. Please call or email with any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyGTBiggie Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Yeah a little over two weeks ago to a guy from Cali. He flew out and drove it home. Kinda the oposite of a Prius... Big american and fast... Not small japanese and fuel efficent. On the drive home I was averaging 23-24 on the flat parts. But with all of the hills and occasional bursts of speed I could only manage 20.9 as a overall average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 "It has never seen snow" You must have broke the seller's heart a little bit when you told him you'd be driving it through the snow to get home. But not so much that he refused your money, apparently! Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post!

LegacyGTBiggie Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 when i left him we still thought the snow was holding off until Sunday like the weather man had said. The weather man was WRONG!! The snow hit about 16 hours early and only just after setting off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
