Default Loss to a Cadillac DTS

Well last night my buddy and I are heading up to see the fine art of exotic dancing, and I am comming up to a red light on a 4 lane that opens up to freeway. I was prob. going about 20mph and in the left lane there was a Cadillac DTS along side of me with dark tinted windows..I didn't think anything of it just kept rolling waiting for the light to change..

Light turned green and I was in a hurry to see those dancers so I give her a little gas to try and get there quicker, when I notice this DTS is still next to me..suddenly it starts passing me and I tell my buddy, can you beleive this guy? So I floor it and get back up to it's door and stay even until about 70-75 mph..then he started slowly pulling on me.

At that point I was pretty pissed, this guy just took me down...thinking to myself, damnit..I thought I could hold him off..now embarassed in front of my buddy with him laughing

I guess I can't blame him for laughing though, my little ole' 96 Grand Am just couldn't keep up with that caddy.

ya I don't understand it...when I am in my camaro, never get an races...when I put it in storage for the winter and drive the Grand Am..suddenly ricers come out of the shadows and try racing me, and now this Caddy...although I don't think he was racing to begin with, lol..but I still got owned.

For all those ricers I should get a bumper sticker that says "Good job, you kept up with a winter beater!"

You were going to see fine exotic dancing in the Grand Am instead of the Z28? What if you met a girl and she wanted to see your ride?

they know that the cars they can't beat are at home, so they come out hoping they now actually have a chance at beating somebody, that's my theory.

Anyways, nice Death! Those caddies can be deciving

The reason I didn't have my camaro is because it is in storage for the winter

That caddy in those videos is insane!

The girl in my avatar is some hot chick

And ya those caddy's can move pretty good, especially the STS with the V8..test drove an 06 STS the other day and man that thing had *****.. those automatics in them things feel like a manual when they shift..pretty neat..it would give my camaro a decent run even.

I wish they would bring the Eldorado back, stick in a supercharged Northstar, and make it RWD.

A guy can dream.

Dude I know the feeling. I will no joke go through town a couple times looking for trouble and not a soul is out. Hop in the truck to take some trash to the dump and everybody and their brother is in 5.0s, gts, riced hondas etc........

Or even worse I will be driving my car and I will have my son with me. You can imagine how many runs I have turned down because of that. (I don't do anything with him in the car). I honestly get pissed thinking about it.

I totally agree with you on that one man...it was badass, but it is a waste of a cadillac if you ask me..just no sleeper feel about it at all
