Spare Tire I just bought my 05 CTS-V on new years eve. I just realized that there is no spare tire, no jack, and no tool to unlock my wheels. Is this normal? Is there a requirement for a GM Certified vehicle to have one of these? I do not have run-flats either.

From the factory, the V had runflats-they blow.
You need to do whatever is best for you:
1) spare, I have one, weight over rear-end reduces wheel hop---Not
2) of course choice one necessitates jack and four-way
3) tire plug kit and compressor
4) can of ol' reliable Fix-a-flat
5) AAA membership

personally I use a plug kit and a compressor....and a AAA card if the tire shreds...fix a flat works, but prepare to replace a tire sensor....
as for the lock, look around the car or go to the dealer to get them off.....theres only so many keys, they should have them, they can pull em off for you...get something besides the gm crap, all they do is strip and give you headaches along with scratched rims...trust me, I know.
