+1. i have put the CTS-V on a wish list (if the economy for me ever changes for the better).
I once took a friend from Kalaupapa, Molokai, Hawaii who happened to be on Oahu for a medical check up and had free time before returning to Molokai.
He was 82 at the time, no legs due to bone cancer (had prosthetics), no
fingers to speak of due to Hansons Disease and had lived there since sent at
age 17 when they found out he was infected with it. Kalaupapa's roads aren't
meant for any speed. I picked him up in my Cobra at the hospital, put him in
the car and took him on the scenic route around the island through Waimanalo to my house in Kailua, where we had a couple of Coronas and a burger on the grill. I didn't have to worry about him burning his legs on the pipes because his were plastic and metal. He was smiling all the way and I showed him a short burst to triple digits on a portion of H-3 where there was no traffic. I will never forget his smile - He died 2 years later from Pancreatic cancer.

If any of you ever get a chance to do something like this for someone - please do it - you will glad you did.
