    I was so embarrassed at the way some of you drove the cars at the Cadillac day at COTA that I purchased a 2013 ATS today. I got the 2.0 turbo in White with titanium interior. Finally getting the wife out of the Mini Cooper S. She hates my Lightning and I hated her Mini so we had to take our Jeep any time we traveled.

    Does that mean you're going to give those people a chance to redeem themselves and let them drive it at Cresson?

    In Seattle for a meeting and was driving my rental 2011-2012 Ford Fusion down I5 getting to my hotel when the engine made a strange noice and a bunch of smoke started coming out of the exhaust and would no longer accelerate. Oil light came on and I coasted to the shoulder. Wouldn't refire, so called Hertz and they sent a truck to grab me. Ends up it threw a rod thru the block... 16,000 miles on the car and it's last oil change 1200 miles ago... Freaky... Damn Ford products. Obviously NOT the superior platvorm. I've had no issues with the replacement... a Chevy Impala...

    The only consolation prize I had was for the past 2 days the weather here in Seattle has been beautiful.. Very a-typical for Seattle as 65-70% of my trips up here are rainly and just plain gloomy.

    Before the motor went boom I was just thinking to myself how well put together the car was and how peppy it was in the upper RPM band... Maybe that was just it getting ready to go... The tach did have a 6000 rpm redline that the engine didn't seem to stop at, as it would rev past 7K... maybe that had something to do with it (not that I was anywhere close to the rev limit...)
