OFF TOPIC!

Well, I traded my L in on the Caddy DTS! 
While I miss the neck-snapping power and nice looks of the truck.....I don't miss getting 12 mpg--filling that baby up with premium fuel ($1.97 gallon), not having a back seat, or keeping my fingers crossed that a plug won't hold (and my credit card is in major mod withdrawal).
That isn't intended as a flame against L owners. I still think it is the best performance truck ever created --I just couldn't keep it around as a toy anymore....
BTW...the Caddy is pretty much a maintenance nightmare. Makes the L seem as reliable as a Honda!
