Ahh yes, the CTS-V... arch-nemesis of my E55 and the first car to dethrone it as the world’s quickest sedan. The AMG was ridiculously over engineered and overpowered for its day. It’s getting a little long in the tooth now, but still puts plenty other cars in their place :) That supercharged V8 makes my raptor feel like a sloth on sleeping pills.

It didn’t ask for the title. It’s just the best car the US could muster outside the mustang and corvette. But they ****** nailed it. :893MrT-thumb:

Looks great
I'd love to get one, one day

I practically grew up on a skateboard as a kid, and made several. Mountainboards are different! You pretty much can't "skate" a mountainboard because of the bindings and the size of the tires. It takes a really awkward, wide stance to push. Secondly, these things are wicked fast. I only have 20 psi in the tires because I'm still learning, but you can pump them up to 50 psi. The company (MBS invented the mountainboard) recommends 10 to 15 psi for beginners because it slows the board. But last night on the rather moderate slope of my street I got into a mild 'high speed' wobble at what must have been only 15 mph. Third, they're quiet. The deer I rode by didn't *****, and in fact the big doe took two steps forward toward me to get a better look! And fourth, you don't actually ride a mountainboard like you do a skateboard. It's very close to snowboarding, so you generate turns with whole-body english. Very fun, no lift tickets, safety equipment recommended by everyone who knows, and you need to watch for traffic on the streets. And deer! You can even get them with disk brakes. I didn't. Um, maybe I should have.
