I always enjoyed handly's thoughts

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man, to laugh at that man.

Next time it's raining and a child asks you why it rains; tell them God is crying.
When the child asks why God is crying; tell the child, because you made God cry.

Had a guy follow me home last night, down my alley and pull in behind me. Just wanted to talk cars as he's followed me into the neighborhood when I was in the M5 previously.

The problem with the CTS-V wagon... special order. And it's like $65k. And depreciates pretty rapidly, especially if it's stick.

If you can hold off a year or two you'll be able to get a used one for ~50k (or less).

I've been tracking the price of 09 CTSVs and they've finally broken through the 50k barrier... but they were there a long time.

I looked at getting the 4 door sedan over my EVO but the fact that it was 68K versus 40K well....now I admit I have poured a load of money into my EVO....but Im still less money and now at this stage... faster.

Your not crazy for wanting one.. you would be crazy with a wife no worky and baby at home to buy one

RacingBrake ET500
EBC Redstuff
StopTech semi-metallics

All of the above are great street pads that should remain quiet and dust less than stock.

Thank you sir. Ive been looking at the project MU NS ones and the RacingBrake ET500s.

The RB ET500 seems to be better on paper but the thing about brake pads... Reviews are more important than "stats". So far the RB et500 has both the good reviews and stats.

I ran the ET500's on my IX, no complaints, great for street and autocross. I know Armando has them on his X too.

I have the ET500s on my X. I forget when I put them on but it's been a while now. WAY less dusting. No more squeaking. I don't push my car as hard as most people, but I can tell you I don't see any difference between these and the stock pads. If anything, they probably bite harder. I've been really happy with them. I'd say it's a good daily driver pad.

Got home from work last night and it was 91F inside my house, A/C went out Luckily I was able to get a repair guy out right away and he got it fixed, house cooled down fast, and we slept comfortably.

Thanks to Jose for recommending Colony Heating & Air to me last summer which I tucked away into memory.
