LOL at all the people who focused on his negative comments about the 2008, and ignored (or didn't even notice) his glowing review of the 2005 MCS:

I agree that it's hopeless and that this thread is beyond saving...

 

 

Lovely. Let the games begin!

 

Well it looks like the OP signed onto NAM with the intention of publishing negative comments about the MINI, thus getting verbal abuse...eat it.

 

He's probably kicking back, reading all the comments, and laughing quietly to himself now.

That's why he has the moniker "Armchair"

 

No he is at the early bird.....making sure he gets his place

 

I was thinking the same thing! He probably has a sick sense of satisfaction seeing everyone get all riled up over what he said.

But hey...whatever blows your hair back.

 

Well, that seems appropriate as he'd certainly beat any MINI drivers on the way there, depending how many times he'd need to fill up the gas tank, of course.

Old Man/Old Fart Car for those that still think it's a "regular old Cadillac"... LOL

 

ya can post what you want(IWANT A CADDY) has never passed these lips, I have a lingenfelter vette that would put him in a nursing home....And mini drivers dont go to earlybirds, they BBQ its still has no style or grace....Next!

 

And I have a Kawasaki Ninja that would put that would make a corvette look like its going in reverse! (not really, and I'd crap myself if I was up against a lingenfelter).

 

Grace? We don't drive Roll Royces.

 

 

Video and discussion from champion racer John Heinricy of the stock CTS-V setting the record for production sedans around the Nurburgring and hitting 175 mph on one of the straights... Amazing what the old geezers are driving these days!

Yeah... I don't really consider the CTS-V an old man's car. But the Cadillac name screams old man...kind of a paradox.

 

 

I'd trade my MINI for a CTS-V in a heartbeat! When does gas go back down to $2.50 a gallon?

 

Lingenfelter = An owner that paid extravagantly to have a high end shop modify his car for him just so he can have bragging rights at Vette car shows. Just don't take a Lingenfelter Vette to a dragstrip or roadcourse on the weekends, and you won't be upset about the guys who did it on their own for far less money that end up running better times.

Glad you are happy with your car, and that you felt compelled to bring it up in this conversation for whatever reason. Will you soon also tell us how much you earn, how big your house is, and how beautiful your wife is? At least you are living up to the Vette owner stereotype of trying to overcompensate for something, just like you say Cadillacs are for senior citizens. Now, go run along and polish your gold neck chains and pinky rings so you can cruise around in your Vette. I'll be feathering my mullet and listening to Whitesnake while I drive around in my TransAm, so maybe we can meet up!

 

ooh, and it acutally looked like the thread would survive a lock.

IBTL.

By the way, the funny thing is that all the stereotypes you make fun of ^ are ones I would've associated with the owner of this car:

 

Sweet. Well since this guy can dodge bullets he must be in the matrix. Didn't you know gas is $2.50 in the matrix?

 

I'm just joining in the party of applying stereotypes and generalizations the way the numerous MINI owners here have already done. If it's acceptable for them to do so, they should be willing to have it done right back to them as well, right? I'm just teasing the Vette owner, and poking fun at myself at the same time, so I think this is all pretty tame and harmless. There's just really no point to this thread anymore, though.

 

This is where we truly disagree. These threads, when not taken seriously, are always very amusing. . . but I am running low on popcorn.

Personally, I think a CTS-V used (with only 18k miles) for $27k is a great bang for your buck. Although, all things being equal, I would take an M5 over it after having tried both (despite the numbers from the 'Ring) -- but the M5s aren't around for $27k with only a couple years and few miles on them.
The caddy is fine with me though (glad to see GM finally making a performance luxury sedan) -- as noted before, I just think it's funny that someone would, as you put it, run into a Harley bar just to exclaim "Harleys suck . . . Long live Honda . . . Peace out! "

 

Lock this thread, why...

It's way to much fun to watch the folks who think their MINI's exhaust doesn't stink dig deeper and deeper into the hole.

Take your head out of the sand people, the CTV-S is on heck of a car, especially from GM. Being the car enthusiast that I am I respect all types of Marques and Models. It's product that sells, and good product sells well no matter if it's MINI or Caddy or FIAT or whatever.

So this guy likes the R53 more than the R56. News Flash...ME TOO and I have MINI tinted glasses.

It's fine to disagree, but some of ya'll have absolutely no idea of whats going on outside the MINI market. That's OK, but don't blast someone because their wants and desires don't suit yours.

Now where did I leave that popcorn....

 

Way to big of a car for me and was not impressed at all, I buy cars for the love of them, and for me the caddy has nothing at all for me, buy the way I am a woman, I live in a tiny home, and i do well with investments....

My next car is being built as we speak, some hate it others love it I bought this one for the love of it.......
my mini will be my DD and the R8 will be my weekend car.....LOL to chase men with

 

Sounds like user or, in this case, driver error to me. Fake sounding turn signals? What do real turn signals sound like?

 

Well, he more did the equivalent to saying "I like the Fatboy, but the V-rods suck, and I drive a Honda". And yes, for amusement and distraction factor from work, etc..., this thread is serving a purpose.
