    $60k+ to spend on what vehicle?

    I daily drive a CTS-V. I highly recommend it. There's unlimited happiness underneath the right pedal regardless of current speed, it transports 5 real adults when it has to, its had 2 child seats in the rear, and it eats "real" sports cars for lunch when I had it out on the track at Texas World...

    Networking Support thread for the unemployed: Spring 2014

    Its a fun place to be, much different than a traditional office. Still looking to fill the Software Engineer in Test position. Also looking for a regular Software Engineer now as well: Strong C#, ASP.Net, SQL skills all a plus. Get paid to watch TV, who doesn't like that?

    Hooray I finally pulled the trigger!

    They're expensive but compared to most of the other modifications to the front end, its pretty cheap. Don't look at replacing the lower grille, swapping to clear fogs, or doing a full CTS-V bumper conversion if you think $300 for the upper grille is expensive. There isn't a large aftermarket for...

    Hooray I finally pulled the trigger!

    I got my CTS-V grille from GMPartsDirect.com for $300, but it looks like their price is higher now. The non-OEM ones run the risk of sketchy quality. I know some of them have had rust problems after a while. The other option would be the CTS Sport Grille, GM Part # 19155364

    Hooray I finally pulled the trigger!

    I had an '07 CTS before I got my '09 CTS-V, its a very nice car. The grille there is the stock '04-'07 CTS-V grille, powder coated black. GM part #15147586 Its a ~15 minute install to swap it out, although by default it is stainless steel/chrome trim so you'd have to get it painted...

    MT: E63 dethrones CTS-V

    I try to get my CTS-V to the track once every couple of months. The ability to be a beast on the track and still offer an extremely high quality ride on the street was a big factor in purchasing for me.

    New, what kind of car do you drive as of 10/22/2009 thread.

    I had an 07 CTS before. This thing is just everything I loved about my old car with the dial cranked up to 11. Aggressive, in your face styling, virtually unlimited power in any gear at any speed, and oddly enough decent gas mileage when you play nice. I've had trips to and from work average...

    First Gen CTS?

    I own an 07 CTS. The 3.6L V6 on an 05-07 is basically the same as the base 3.6L in '08, so as long as you aren't looking at a 2.8L the engine is the same. The biggest difference between an '08 and what you're looking at will be the interior, as it got a complete overhaul. Mine has all the...

    Detect multi-core with VB 2005

    Intel puts out a pretty cool library that let's you detect all kinds of CPU info: http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/de...optimization/19110.htm It will tell you the number of physical cores in the machine, hyperthreading cores, SSE1, 2, 3, 4 support, etc.
