Okay, I'm WAY off topic but....

Your garage just gets more and more

Sorry to pry but did you keep the 599, G and 65?

Inadequate wouldn't be a strong enough word if I was your neighbor...best of health to you and an amazing fleet.

ps. interesting how the 5;iter V8 made more power in the 8s than in the year 2005. The same was true of the non-turbo 600 engine iirc.

Scud replaced the 599,CGT Speed replaced CTS-V (which replaced SL65).
The G (I miss that thing) was replaced by RR SC (wife driving it).
3 spaces in garage,only 3 cars at a time allowed.
Btw,really enjoyed that Cadillac but my wife absolutely hated it.

Thx for the rundown...hope the Scud is as good as I've read it is.

We had a limit of 4 but the daughter turned 17 so 4 became 5 as I refused to part with anything...dinner was takeout that week...

Thanks that was neat.

500E sounded mean, that steering wheel looks familiar, car looks so planted, love it!

After all these years I'm still a sucker for that car.
On rare occasions when I see one on the road it turns my head quicker then the rarest of exotics.
Sadly,was able to test drive one in 1993 but could not afford it....
