2 days. 5 states. 4 new tires. 1 new CTS-V owner So yeah.... Flew to indiana saturday morning... Got the car with 50% tread performance summer tires on it. 30 minutes into the trip... 8" of snow started falling.
I made it to the ohio border and limped the car into a hotel parking lot. Spent the day/night stuck there. And then went to walmart to get some all season tires put on(thank god that they carry and had in stock a 245/45/18 tire). Left walmart at 10am and drove through ohio/west virginia/Pennsylvania/Maryland to get her home...
Pictures to follow. But im fracking HOME!

06 KN intake / magnaflow CBE / H&R springs / UUC shifter / CAGS
If you know anything about the Cadillac CTS "V", then you understand how awesome this car is. It has very low miles on it for a 2006 and still has a factory warranty for either 100,000 miles or 2-1-2012. I have all maintenance records. This is the LS2 engine. It has never seen snow, storage keep in the winter time. I've had the wheels/grille powder coated, installed a Magnaflow exhaust, UUC shifter, K&N air intake and H&R springs. I still have the stock air intake and springs just in case new owner wanted to switch back. Most of the driving was on the highway. This is a super fun and clean car. Please call or email with any questions.

I remember when I got my V I took a bus (i'll never do that again) to Indiana (4-5 hour trip) on the very WORST weather day of the year. The trip there was so scary as the bus was sliding all over the interstate and I saw at least 20 cars in ditches. I was able to get the V all the way home but it was a total mess and very scary. Once home I couldn't even get it up my slightly inclined driveway. It was an epic and dangerous journey but a memory I'll never forget.
Glad you got your V

So am I.
Updated the mods post... Might be more.
Power will come after his warranty runs out. For now its MORE than enough speed. And why not make it look as badass as she is.
I also named her during the snow day... The birth of ***** ****** has happened... YAY
