Those V3 wheels actually do look good on the V2 which is funny cause I really don't like them on the V3.

I can't either. Had to view them on my phone to see what was up. I don't dislike the side splitters completely. I wish there was a mix between those and mine available. Something that flares out at both wheel openings and not just the rears like mine.

Guy willing to come down to $1500 on those Adv.1
I have a feeling they're the cast version and not forged...which were on sale for $600/wheel through a group buy on a Caddy forum. Not that great of a deal when you factor in the powder coat and risk that they're bent.

Adv.1 are a terrible deal in the first place but I would definitely not want their cast offerings. Then you are truely just paying for the name even more cause I don't even think they make those in house.

You are better off with what you have in my opinion.

Yes sir, boys...I had already decided that. Just giving an update since I had posted about it here.
Not going to do it, Wagon looking right AF to me right now for some reason. New inspiration and new love for the car.
The way it drives with the TB made a lot of difference to me.

[uck?

Seriously, it did...it makes it easier to just glide around for daily driving. Kinda a good way to describe is it made the car feel like it was a heat soaked TL vs driving it in the evening...but all the time.
I've renewed my love for the car and went through the emotional motions in my head of how it would feel to have sold it, then be sad every time I saw one on the road. That car is amazing, now matter how much I try and talk myself out of it. The wagon stays. I can get a little better mileage out of it and get the payment down...it'll make perfect financial sense.

Glad the TB has changed your perception.

Next up pulley and injectors. I mean you wanted stage II for the Cuck so why not just apply it to the wagon.

Concerned about gas mileage and CTS-V don't belong in the same sentence.

If he was worried about MPGGGGG he would drive a Volt.

here's the thing guys...
my life has changed drastically over the last 8 months.
So I am not baller status who cares about car payment, and 10 mile total commute to work and who cares about gas.
BUT...if I drive a POS and get 20 mpg...or drive my sexy ass cadillac and can manage 15 mpg but have a smile on my face...
then It's worth it.

And I'm an idiot because I'm eating whatever monthly gas savings I'm gaining with the cuckfuckmobile by adding in insuring it

I need to sell that thing.

LOL...no, was going to sell niche for 1000 and oem for 1000 and downsize to one set of wheels that were $2000 or less.

I only seem like an airhead...there's a ton of shit going on in there.

I had the sale of the TL and all associated parts in cash in the bank aimed at lowering the V payment. I just realized that cash is king and as long as I could swing the payment, I should leave all expendable income ready for the possibility of an investment property. I'm one of those financial people that thinks the sky is falling while I still have enough to eat sushi a couple nights a week.

The problem with Jeremy (and many of us here, myself included), we get emotionally attached to our cars.

I guess in South Florida NOT insuring it would have been status quo.
Shit, I ended up putting full coverage on it. It's very coveted. Lots of guys watch me drive it. Nawmean?

I stand by my statement though...the stupid thing is a hoot to drive around the roundabouts near my house.
I swear, a car you don't care about that isn't lowered on wide tires...momentum is fun as hell.
