Few things in the automotive world are cooler than a fast wagon, if you ask me. Why? Because nothing about a wagon says, “fast,” so when a family-hauler, well, hauls a$$, and happens to look as good as a Cadillac CTS-V wagon, it’s pure perfection. Take for example this Vengeance Racing Stage IV CTS-V wagon, […] More »

When my car hits 147,000 miles, the only thing I’ll do is cross my fingers that it lasts until 200,000. When a 2005 Cadillac CTS-V hit that mark, its owner, a man by the screen name of Hammar, decided to have some fun instead of worry. He went to the dyno. His well-traveled machine has […] More »
