New Stable Mate :-)
Well, not new, but new to us. I've always been a fan of the CTS-V's but never really pulled the trigger on one. My wife has been wanting a CTS for a while now and just yesterday I spotted this one on craigslist about 1.5 hours south of us. It was kinda late but we tried calling anyways. We talked about the car for a little and I told him I wanted to check it out. We drove down to Fresno this morning (ironically that's where we bought our Z06) to check it out. We looked it over then took it for a spin. It's a nice car, I love the fact that it shares the same drivetrain with the Z 
For the price we couldn't pass it up. We paid $13K, and it has 71K miles on it and it's in really nice shape. Here's a few pix

Thanks guys! I just added an interior pic, not great as it's getting dark, but the interior is mint as well. No mods planned for it, at least not yet. Maybe down the road some nice True Forged wheels on it, but performance wise I think we'll keep it stock.

You got a deal - very nice car and great price. And a manual tranny at that.
