But living in Silicon Valley... You just get into that yuppie thing... But instead of the "Saab/Volvo" thing, it's the "BMW/Benz/Audi/Porsche/VW/Jaguar" thing. I'm very happy I got the 9-5 Aero because it's different... And because it's so different, it's definitely an eye catcher in this yuppie valley. Oh yeah... I'm a BIG Cadillac fan. I'd love to drive and own one (and I'm 25 yrs old). But there isn't a Cadillac that I'd like to own at this point -- except for the Escalade & Escalade EXT. My broker -- he's 26 -- wants to get a DTS, but can't seem to do it financially, which I think is ironic. :) But hey, I don't listen to him much, so my portfolio is doing much better than his. But with the CTS (Catera replacement) and XLR (Evoq-based 2-seat roadster) launching next year... Who knows.... ;-) -- Marc Escuro mgescuronopsam.com http://home.att.net/~bryesquire "...when all hope is gone, you know sad songs say so much..."
