Doc1647545523 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Honest question; do you know what a CTS-V is? The real question, JP, is whether you meet the standard to own a CTS-V. Although Cadillac doesn't state it in the official literature, I think you have to meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) have already retired, or at least don't work full-time 2) vacation in Florida multiple times each year 3) owned an F-body more than a decade ago At least, every CTS-V owner I've met hits at least one of those.

TTQ B4U Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 see above. wisconsin is very good in terms of giving equal custody. i was very concerned how i was going to be productive and earn the same living, have a worthwhile practice, with being a good father, and legitimately doing 50% custody. it is HARD fucking work when i have the kids and have to work a full time job. i just buckle down, man-up, and prepare my ass off. that's why i justify buying stupid shit i don't really need.

coltboostin Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't have a problem spending that much on a car though. Sure I'd love to not have a car payment but I wouldn't love what I would be driving. Is it good or bad that my car payment for 2 cars is within a hundred dollars of my mortgage payment? Unless I was guaranteed to make money I could not live with myself if my car payment=my mortgage, unless I still lived in a shack in Cleveland. I would just feel like I was throwing money away even in the long run it that was not necessarily the case The real question, JP, is whether you meet the standard to own a CTS-V. Although Cadillac doesn't state it in the official literature, I think you have to meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) have already retired, or at least don't work full-time 2) vacation in Florida multiple times each year 3) owned an F-body more than a decade ago At least, every CTS-V owner I've met hits at least one of those. I fit #2 #3 ish if you consider my Rx-7 is 100% F body powered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 I fit #2 You're good to go, then. I hope to qualify in another 10-15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji14] Wrong. I might be retired from the military, but I still work 40 or more hours a week. I've never lived in Florida, and have only vacationed there 3 times in my life. And I've bever owned an f-body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't consider any of those three criteria to be bad things, BTW. Do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdyguy2k Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not at all. And you're right, I did go back to work, but more out of necessity and boredom than desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 If we are now changing to a V discussion I owned a f-body but it was only as far back as 6 years ago. Far from retired and haven't been to Florida in a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyctsv Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hmmmm, after figuring out the financial aspect, maybe I should start a new thread: "Am I old enough for a Vette? " I owned a V and fit the "owned an FBody" criteria. I am ready to pick my next toy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Congrats... for your 2nd child! Buy a Viper. Thanks! And, thanks! Here is where I am at- If a Gen 2 V pops up for under 25k clean, and not salvaged or A gen 3 Viper for under 30k clean, and not salvaged I'm probably stroking a check that day without hesitation. I cant lose on the deal, so it makes the decision easy. The Viper Market spiked as of late, so Viper time may not happen until fall.winter. I jsut wont pay market for, well, anything!! Maybe I am part Jew? :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
