I already had to replace my tires once since I bought mine. I got about 10k on them with what the previous owner left me. I think I am going to get about 18k out of this current set. Definitely not bad for a car this heavy. I would get 22-25k out of the same brand tires on the ISF but it was 600lbs less.

Exactly there is no comparison there at all. The only way there could be one is that was an Avant. The rareness of the wagon is one of the reasons I wanted it so bad. The raw performance isn't bad either. I just like driving unique cars.

Did you expect anything less? 
I'll be happier than a pig in le shit if I get 15K out of a set of tires. It'll take me 3 years to put that on, given my current commute.
Also, just swapped out wiper inserts...driver one had a tail hanging from it, rear was non-existent and passenger wasn't great. Inserts ran me $16 for all 3...not a bad savings over going with icons. Plus, I get to keep the cool wind diffuser thingy oem ones that I have.
What a PITA the first time around though, I got spoiled with icons going on in under 10 sexonds.

No I didn;t expect anything less you whore 
You need to drive more. I need 2k more miles by October to have put 20k miles on my Vagon in the first year.
Didn't know you could just get the insert for the rear. I bought a new full wiper from the dealer for $12. My rear had a top and bottom tail by the time I replaced it. Take some pictures of the fronts with the spoilers so I can decide if I want to order a set of them. Inserts are a pain to replace for sure but so cheap.

Well, I couldn't figure out how to get the oem rear wiper out, so I opted to separate the insert and put that in. 
I think the bosch would look more modern, but I kinda like that the oem are kinda unique looking.

And just what the fuck is going on in here? J got a huge V8 and still hasn't purchased a proper aftermarket exhaust?
J, I love you. Congrats.
Now buy a freaking exhaust. Plz.
Thank me later.

LMAO...
funny you mention it, David. I have one on layaway
Axle back, but that'll do for me...I may do cutouts down the line too.
In the meantime...just ordered my weathertech lasercuts...and covercraft sunshade. Tint tomorrow morning.
and paid for my blendmount and airraid (thanks JB :thumbsup)

LOL...no idea, nor do I care much. I think it would be easier to just make extra power rather than remove anything that makes Caddy a Caddy.
That's kinda the point of this, get it, barely mess with it, make it look cool and just enjoy it.
You seen a video! Fine, I'll ask Betty to record me take off soon.
and yes, covercraft and weathertech for the MFW.
Bruh. Do you even?
Might I also add that this car's turn radius is better than any vehicle I've ever driven. NO lie...you can make a u-turn onto a 2 lane oncoming with plenty or room to spare.

I love how much sleeper potential Vagons have. To the uninformed consumer, it's just a wagon. Then it takes off and lights the fucking tires up till 60 while bald eagles sing out of the exhaust.

What level tint did you do 35%? Did you do the windshield too?

Don't be Yum...she's no sea creature.
yours too! Thank you, man...I appreciate it.
So...much like the S2000 forums...the V has a lot of home grown support...check out these custom LED housings for the license plates (thanks for pointing the thread out, Jason).
Great for $25 shipped...and they fit mine and B's SRX!

I like turtles
I'm not a huge fan of people abusing LEDs (especially interior wise), however adding LED license plate bulbs does add a nice touch of class. I just realized my car didn't have them about a week ago and was very disappointed. Guess that will be my first "mod" lol

Just gonna say the Llumar AIR 80 on windshield doesn't affect me when wearing polarized shades and it makes a noticeable difference on the heat on the dash...just saying in case you were in 2 minds about adding it in future.
