If I had to drive cross country tonight .......

This would be my steed. NMNA.

$2500 in CT.

I am strangely drawn to that

Metallic green might get you profiled by the local cops in every county you pass through in the midwest.  That color looks a little too low-rider-ey for middle-america.  Otherwise, YES!

Based on the flaking paint/rust on the hood & the connecticut plate, there could be a 5 gallon bucket of bondo hiding on that car.

The 'Dubs must have already been repo'ed... 

Wayyyy too much unwanted attention for a cross country drive.  Yes, highly stereotypical but that interior smells like weed just looking at the pictures.  

Quite the "house of parts" on the inside.  Gold dash topper.  Blue carpet and door cards.  Gray seats. Tan seatbelts.

I couldn't afford the gas anyway, much less the tickets.

In reply to John Welsh :

Looks like a good candidate for an interior color dye. All black would look good.

In reply to John Welsh :

Yeah I'm not getting "weed" from looking at the interior. Cushy bottoms yes but not weed. Maybe some french fries between the seats. 

Also, some gold 24"s would really set off that green. 100% what I would do if it was mine.

not sure where you are but donks and lead sleds almost always smell like they ran over a skunk in Alabama 

In reply to Justjim75 :

What does yours smell like? 

I'd just rock it for the 500 cubic inches of Cadillac loving.

They actually did pretty well on fuel.  The Caddy 500 in my 66 Bonneville got 18mpg with 4.10s.  Mid to high 20s wasn't out of the question if you drove it like, well, a Cadillac.

...like a run over Alabama sunk.

Not me - I'd want to go fast in comfort although I expect frequent gasoline stops.

Probably wanna stick to at least 5 under in the fly-overs and keep your hands visible but otherwise... A sack of cheese burgers, mega-thermos of coffee, a full box of tapes and the open road. Sounds hard to beat.

The CT5V-V-Five-1,2,3,4,V would do it, obviously, but it's lacking the quinessential America-ness

There are a couple of Blackhawks Vs in next weeks One Lap.  A CT4 and CT5.  They seem like a nice way to spend a fast week.

Did you see what money laundering brought on BAT for that red Blackwing? $116,000. Yes, $116,000. I think we GRMers can do better.
