            That sounds pretty much like my Caddy. Might have to take another look at the one that hit the dealership yesterday. It has the sport appearance package. Honestly though, I like the stock read bumper cover better. I like the 18s too.

                Actually, I was thinking about finally driving something that was bone stock. No messing with it except detailing. I think I'm gettin' a little burned out with all these cars. The GN is a keeper, The 97 WS6 too. For me to justify a GTO, everything else would have to go. I tell ya, my biggest dilemma is that in the past, I bought top line performance cars and drove them daily. The mileage I put on them was horrendous. My Impala SS had 25K miles in under 10 months. Now I don't quite do that much business mileage anymore, but 25-30K miles a year combined is about what I do. I hate using them up so quickly. I held on to the WS6 and "retired" it from daily duties at 120K. I picked up a beater 96 Honda Accord, I've put 30K miles on it in 14 months! Great car for buzzing along these back road highways down here but it's killing my back. The driving position really bothers me, no way to get comfortable.

                decisions, decisions.
