The CTS-V sold last week.
New owner flew in, he tossed me a sack full of cash and I tossed him the keys and off he drove.

It was a great car, but it was time. I've logged a whopping 1500 miles on it over the last three years ... 600 the last two.
She sat in the back of my shop under a car cover most of the time.

So the stable is empty and doubt it will ever be refilled.

Heh, I know. I'm enjoying automatics more and more these days. Of course, a well-built automatic is a ton of fun, too.

Not to discourage you, but the guy I got most of my reloading knowledge (although I have yet to apply it) as well as weapons information, was an avid, very conservative bike rider. He frequently rode his bike to work and back, even in less-than-stellar weather. But he was a safe driver, and never took risks.

Well, one afternoon, he was riding down a city street, probably at about 30, whatever the speed limit was, and he had a guy in a Comcast truck swerve in front of him, dive-bombing to make a turn. He couldn't stop in time, and piled up in the back of the truck, probably totaling the bike, dislocating his shoulder and breaking his ankle in two places. He was laid up for many days, and when I recently saw him a year later, he is still limping, and says he has to do stretching exercised every morning to get his shoulder working for the day. He still rides, but a LOT less. Preferring the car for the day-to-day duties. And yeah, I know, when your number is up, your number is up, but it's not always the stupid stuff you do that can get you in real trouble.

As they used to say on the TV show "Be careful out there."
