Mortgaged a slightly oversized car cover for it. Turned out to be perfect timing as the rear regulator failed days after.

Jason, what's the occasion? Either you're getting ready to keep your car or you're getting ready to sell it.

No plans to sell it! It's been doing daily duty for the past 6 years so just giving some love back. Buddy owns a bump shop, had him paint the front bumper and just decided to fix the headlights and hood as well. I will start looking to add another Caddy in the spring.

I drove a v2 for the first time today while killing time waiting on wifey. Local dealership happened to have a 12 sedan auto so I took her out.

Nice ride. Don't care for automatic but the car is a nice car. Depending on price I may consider a v2 now.

Any more pics of the polished wheels? Really thinking about getting the prior owner's curb rash fixed and have the stockers polished at the same time.

Installed new rear hatch struts. I didn't think the originals were worn out. I as wrong. Trunk lid still doesn't pop up on its own, but lifts so much easier.

It's money well spent if you have the room for it, it would be nice if I had taller ceilings. At the very least it's an excuse to build another garage.
