Although the garage is nowhere complete, GrandNasty had to try out it's new home.....(flew up to NY last weekend and drove Nasty back to SC) .............
I babie it going down to SC. Had the speed police riding shotgun (wife), ran it most of the way down at 65-70mph, no bonzai holeshots out of toll plazas and it knocked out 24-25mpg. Not to bad and I had the AC on most of the way. It ran at 172-175 temp on the hiway and 178-180 in traffic on an 80+ degree day. Sooooooooo glad I got all the cars to SC without incident. Probably another month on garage then I can "PLAY" with my toys !!!!!
You beat me to it.......I've promised my wife a new car and the CTS-V in the bright red is on the top of the list. As soon as the garage is done we'll be heading to the Caddy dealer. Stick or auto, looks like a 2009..................................N I C E ! ! !
I was set on the red but I couldn't pass this one up, 2013 with only 4700 miles, auto,suede wheel and shifter,black recaros. ,
Came through Pawley's Island today and couldn't believe gas was only $3.31, Should have stopped but I was In a rush to get to Myrtle Beach and see my Mom , Garage looks KILLER by the way Later Johnny
Lift will be the icing on the cake that will be coming last. Still have to do electric, water, insulate, sheetrock, lights, A/C and heat, epoxy floor. Shop area has to be finished and all new driveway blacktop. Been working on it this long so I'll be patient as to the finishing touches.
Moon that's cool all your cars will be as clean on the bottom as the top now:laugh: Hows the the 55 gallon drum holding out can you see the bottom yet.Wizard will be down now in the brown rocket:3gears: to change his oil.Hope he doesn't spill any oil on that new floor what u use looks great.
That floor was done in a gray epoxy with multi colored chips thrown in for good measure. BiggestRed will have the right bay and Nasty and the Stage1 will share the left bay. No more laying on my back to work on my cars, only way to go !!! :TU: :TU: :TU:
All told........about $50,000 ! ou: ou: ou: Wuz hoping to keep it around 35 but it ran away on me. Everything is so damn expensive nowadays.
I follow you on that number, but look at it in another way. You now have what you wanted instead of saving 15 grand and not been happy with how it became because you would save money.
The way I look at it is......."You only live once and I ain't gettin' any younger" !!! Why did I work hard all my life, so I could leave my bucks to my kids. "NOW is ME time". :grin:
