CTS-V Heresy! Tell me why, as I drive to work today, do I see a V1 heading the other direction with a full bike rack and a mountain bike mounted on the roof? I wanted to take his keys away.
Not sure if that is as bad as the time I saw one parked with one of those uhaul trailer hitches mounted under the rear bumper....

I've seen them on 911's, Gallardo's, etc. Not a big deal

^ This always blows my mind. More money than sense seems to be a common denominator with these types.
I get it I get it, to some people it is a utilitarian vehicle not a performance sedan... I know its a sub 20k vehicle so many people with money treat it the same way some of us would a Cavalier, but that doesn't make it right. Its heresy and the Cadillac gods will seek out those of you who treat them as lowly beater sedans and they will exact their revenge upon thee.
Seriously though, if my wifes car payment wasn't so high I would probably be in a V2.. would you guys put roof racks and tow hitches on one of them?

In all fairness, the hitch looks like *** and I'm hoping to get it installed and then section it a bit so it tucks up under the car.

I dont like roof racks or hitches either, so...
I just lower the back seats(take the baby seat out first) put a huge towel, take my mtb front wheel off and slide it in EVER SO GENTLY, close the trunk and im going riding!
Oh and about the rattle can plastidip; he couldnt use gallons because they dont sell them to cali residents, AND he needed a paint job. Not everyone can spend $2-3k for a paint job on our cars.

I don't mind stuff like that, but rediculous crap I'm having to fix on mine bugs me, I feel like dude thought this was $900 Honda, put gas in it and did oil changes and that's where the buck stopped

Hey it is what it is... we all have different opinions. But you did say you have seen 911's with bike racks... that blows my mind. If you have Porsche money then you have ten year old Tacoma money so a beater truck for the dogs/bikes/cooler makes sense. If I see someone towing a trailer with a Porsche Ill have a fit.
You all have a good summer!

Commence having a fit. If you'd ever been to a track event you would've seen plenty of Porsches towing, like so:
