Bought a new daily driver

[repenttokyo]

So I have decided to upgrade from the E34 - it's been 3.5 years - and even though it has 427,000 km's on the clock it still runs well enough that my significant other will be inheriting it as her daily drive.

I picked up a 2004 Cadillac CTS-V for my new daily driver. It arrived from Florida on Friday, and it offers a 400-horsepower V8 along with a 6-speed manual transmission. It's had some suspension and exhaust work done, and it sounds like Armageddon when you rev the engine. I am extremely happy.

Here are a couple of pics of the new ride:

I am still pinching myself every time I look out the window and see it in my driveway.

What's not to like about a V-8 with a ton of torque down low attached to an honest to goodness gearbox all wrapped up in a comfy car with all the comforts of home?
Congrats
Have fun dusting off punks in souped up Hondas

Nice caddy! What are you doing with the e34?

thanks for the compliments guys :)

My gf will be driving the E34 - I still love the car and can't see it go quite yet. She'll be ditching her 93 Dodge Spirit, which is on its last legs at 60,000 miles.

They don't bring those to Oz. It has everything except a roundel. If only the design was more e34-ish... LOL! An excellent choice indeed... Congrats!

I still remember the Top Gear review of it. Quite hilarious how they mock American made cars... Well, you'll be kicking a' with style. I like that they still stick to this design signature today. Have fun!
