For the last few years I've been daily driving a Tesla but that all might change after my latest car purchase. My first Tesla daily was a wrecked P85d that I rebuilt in my garage with my friends Sam and Rich I drove it for two years and then I sold it to another friend Matthew perception and naturally Matt installed rockets on the back of the car I mean who wouldn't after that I bought a blue P100d with ludicrous plus mode and full self driving and of course I raced my old rocket Tesla and I've been daily driving the blue one ever since and by the way I've won a few of those races. the P100d has rate and I love that car but it's been almost two years and when Hoovie told me he wanted to sell his red CTS-V wagon and Wizard gave it His blessings after he inspected it I had to pull the trigger and so I'm thirty thousand dollars lighter and in Kansas to collect my potential future daily driver Wizard: Yes, Is this my next daily driver? should I have a key here? Okay, that's a good start. There's an emblem on the key fob here.

Oh, it's a Cadillac A Cadillac a Cadillac I bought a CTS V wagon of course and this this may be my next new daily driver. I don't know 100 yet because I'm gonna drive it back to Chicago see if we make it and see how I feel about the car. Believe it or not, I've never driven a Gen 2 CTS-V It's fast. Yeah, that's very fast.

It has like 700 horsepower, doesn't it? Yes it does. It has supercharger wine. Oh yes, none of my supercharged cars have a wine. Obviously, it's not electric.

It's probably loud, right? It's it is kind of loud. Yes. I Think we should just fire it up. Let's do it.

Uh, before we start it up, we have to put my bag away. So I flew in one way of course and I'm gonna attempt to drive this home, but it does have some issues that we're going to be going over here in a moment and and we're going to get to wrenching. But you can see how confident I am that this isn't going to break down because I'm in all white. So anyway, Peter Peter are you you're in Kansas too.

What in the world You can live in a car but you can't race a house? Oh that's very true and you brought Amsoil Is this going to fix our problem I Hope so. Peter said he'd be at a shop I thought it was. you know, legit. three quarters.

but it's wizard shop. I like it. So we have. We have a backpack full of tools and and a Peter and a Max we got the whole crew.

Wait a minute. Does this have? Um yes it does. Yes. Wow! this thing was totally hit on this side.

This is Hoovie's old CTS-V I Bought it from him like three months ago at this point and uh, it's been hanging out taking up space at Wizard Shop. Thanks! Thanks Wizard! Yep, no problem, but this thing was, uh, pretty wrecked. It has a rebuilt title, but yeah, the the paint. You can kind of tell a little bit of a difference here in the color.

Let's just pretend it looks exactly the same once we found out who was buying it. I Was told not to work on it, not to fix it. leave it as is. That's what Hoovie said.

So that's right. it's all yours in all its glory and everything that's wrong as well. Hopefully it's not more broken than what Hoovie told me I Hope not as well. Thanks for the confidence sir.

Yes, wow, that sounds great. It sounds good. Yeah, like it's got long tube headers, doesn't it? Yes, yeah, you can hear that. See, that's that's that.

LS Power right there. just LS Power and reliability. Uh, what are the miles? It's got low miles. Let's see, we got a right tire that's at 26.

PSI We gotta look at that. Wait, this has a G meter? No way, it's got a G-meter You know we gotta test that. No, we have to Max it out. Peter Do you know that in 2009 when the CTS-V Sedan came out that it was the fastest sedan around the Nuremberg track? No way.

This is a legit handling vehicle. These have magnetic ride control which is an amazing system. Um, and they handle really well. although you wouldn't be able to tell that from just looking at this steering wheel.

This is like such a mundane flat old old looking steering wheel. But anyway. uh, good oil pressure: 48 Okay, Trans Temp Nice. Where is the mileage? I Have no idea there we go.

68 000 miles? Yes, we'll have to get it under some load and warm it up. and we should fix some stuff on it first. but look at this. I'll admit I'm not super happy about this but it does not have a sunroof.

Most of these Cts-vs had panoramic sunroof I love openings in the roof and sunroofs and stuff. this doesn't have it. It also doesn't have cooled seats which is weird and it's a non-recaro seat car. so it does have the Alcantara in the middle but non-recaro seats.

so this is basically kind of like a stripped out CTS-V The only option I think it has is maybe the red metallic paint and it has yellow Brembo brake calipers. My wife actually had a 2008 CTS it was a six cylinder version before the YouTube world. so I'm kind of familiar with this whole infotainment system. The screen pops up, but yeah, this is, uh, this is pretty old school at this point.

but who really cares about the infotainment system when you have this? the 6.2 liter Supercharged V8 This is the LSA engine which is based off the Ls9 and the Corvette ZR1 556 Factory horsepower on this guy but this one is modified and Hoovie had it tuned and it did, uh would it do like about 550 wheel or something Real? Yeah. the wheels. Yeah, that's insane. So this is a very very fast car.

Definitely a potential legit street cars daily driver that's for sure. I Was a little worried about this thing being really loud, but it's It's pretty normal at idle like this. This is okay. it just kind of looks like a normal CTS and you don't see too many wagons in general, even the V6 model.

So the everyday person this is this is just a a station wagon. So yeah, I believe the accident was primarily here on the driver's side, but I do think it it went along. you know quite a ways. This quarter panel is a different color so it's possible this was not touched.

but yeah, it looks uh looks normal so far. I Guess we'll take it out on the road and see see exactly how it feels. Oh nice. Looks like the V has brand new tires.

I Just got new tires for my Chevy Express van from Prioritytire.com Prioritytire.com makes it so easy. You can search by the size if you know it or if you don't buy vehicle. So we're going to type in 2012 Express 3500 of course and that's it. You're off to searching a massive selection of tires.

They have everything depending on what You're doing and they have a ton of filters as well so you can really fine tune this. Oh and check this out! I Have never seen a tire website do this. They offer a military discount, teacher discount, first responder, and medical staff discount that is so cool and you get free FedEx shipping and a 90-day money-back guarantee. They also have really good customer support so you can either call or text them.

These are the tires I Ordered up for the van and they came in two days and you can have them shipped right to your door set up a Mobile Installation where they come to you or they will ship directly to an installer of your choice. My tires were installed in an hour and what a difference they made! These tires have awesome reviews and they're super affordable and I gotta say I am very very impressed on how they feel if you're not driving a luxury type of car like the CTS that has a ton of padding and insulation. road noise can get really annoying. So the tires that were on my van they had plenty of tread life left, but they were so noisy when we drove it like 800 miles home.

I Mean aside from the transmission moving I think the transmission is the only thing that saved us from hearing the tire. The tires were brutal and so these land golden tires. They sound great. They perform really well in the rain and I Gotta say I Love the tread pattern on these tires.

it looks so good. Priority Tire also has a membership program so you can save even more with that. And if you guys click on my link in the video description box or in the comments section and use coupon code legit PT You're Gonna Save Five percent So click on the link down below. Get your next set of tire from Prioritytire.com and with that, let's get back to the wagon.

But yeah, it's all here. Uh, it's not even dented up. It needs a paint correction. Maybe.

but nothing. nothing too bad. A whole. My first time driving it.

This is so cool but it's not going very far. We got some work to do people. I Guess I can get the kids the soccer practice real quick in this guy and we'll have another. Supercharged V8 Cadillac in the family.

My wife can't be the only one and even though the back end of this car is beautiful, the rear end of this car underneath is making a noise. So we're gonna have to diagnose a potential bad differential and then you know, just hope and pray that it's good enough to make it home because we're like leaving tomorrow morning. so we have to. We don't have a new diff All right? So this thing has a differential wine.

And of course we got to start off with some new fluid which is back here. Hello! another human being in the back of my wagon. whoops a little low. hello yes, hello.

All right, thank you for the car. Another satisfying customer we'll hear back. which is insane. two years later.

CL65 Uh yeah, it took me a couple years for that experience to wear off. and I Trust you again, you have buying cars bad long-term memory. I Appreciate it. This one should go a little better.

a little simpler, a little less hoopty. Although it was not bad. it's a little smash. Yeah.

so driver side side swipe. Yes. Quarter panel looks okay though. Yeah.

somehow I think they reuse the front bumper so barely touch the quarter and then really dug into the door. Somebody put it back together. They did it pretty well, unlike, uh, some other cars of mine. so the story wasn't that bad.

I mean really, it's worked well other than the dip wine. Okay. I've had it tuned. it has headers on it.

No cats, It sounds awesome. 550 wheel horsepower? Yeah. Okay, so this might be my new daily driver replacing my Model S So kids in here and everything. So a previously salvaged car with a completely stripped interior.

roof damage, hopefully no frame damage I Bought my wife a structurally damaged Escalade So this is here's right up my alley. That's interesting. Um, yeah, it definitely ride better than the test. The mag ride is my favorite part.

Yes I'm a big fan. This was a very good handling wagon so we're gonna lift it up in the air. Hopefully we don't find any structural damage because I Really do want a daily Drive of it? Yeah, you shouldn't. It's fine, but you are kind of.

Well, wasn't it Wizard of the dumbest channel here a little bit. I'm trying. you're going for the mantle. Not quite all right.

Let's service this diff and and and then go for a ride and see. hopefully the only wine we hear is you know from under the hood. So before we attempt to fix the differential, we need to duplicate the concern. Well, I've learned anything from being a dealership technician.

You have to duplicate this right. You can't take us on our word. Okay, so it's a wine from the rear. We hear the front line really Well, that's supposed to be there.

I'm all about it. all right. So when does it do this? A little bit acceleration or deceleration, or just kind of low speed cruising on the highway? You can't hear it, just even that little crack at the throttle. Yes, Okay, this isn't that bad.

I Haven't even heard it yet. Oh, are you sure you can just fart or something? I didn't fart. Okay, they don't sound that way. Okay, you can really get those noises to come up.

It's like you get on it hard and then let it close, let off completely. just Coast So you're telling me I shoot it up to like 34 Yes. Hit it okay. hit it is what you're saying.

Yeah, that's all I hear she's fast. Why am I selling this again I don't know, it's done. Deal Well, that's right. it's not making the noise.

it likes you I fixed it. It lies you. This is so far such the opposite compared to the CL65 Oh you know and it's like 70 degrees out. It was Zero Like yeah and we brought nothing.

We were in hoodies, right I don't hear it? Do you want to drive it? I Can I tend to break things? That's my specialty All right. So this has paddle buttons? Oh yes, yes. Is that what those things are? So somebody wanted to make them a little more fancy by making it into shifters instead of buttons. But they don't work.

Worth a damn. And the buttons are gone from the factory? they're They're basically a little black. Yeah, they're buttons. Okay, how do they work? Yep, you're gonna have to find buttons again.

or I didn't have the heart to. Super Glue Which is what this is wanting. Oh, this is kind of cool with the open Button This would be a really really nice daily driver I Think the kids would like it. Yes, you just stopped for gas a lot.

Yeah, these aren't the best. Coming from the Tesla it's be quite different All right. We're gonna switch this up a little bit because I cannot get it to make the noise. but I Also, haven't driven this car.

All right. let's see if Tyler can break this car. I'm confident that he can I'm very good at it. Come on.

listen. Tyler the only wine I'm hearing is from under the hood. Yeah, these things are fast. Yes, screams yeah there it is.

Oh there it is. Gonna get it right in the right spot. Sometimes it does it more than others it's trying I heard it. It does.

It does exist and it's sort of. The more you drive it, the louder it gets. Like the fluid gets warmed up and thinner and then it starts whining. I Think we can fix this with fluid if you can on a little additive if you can.

I'm gonna be quite pissed because then I could have sold it for 10 grand more? Well, I did I paid you one penny more than you paid? Okay, yes, kind of like a tip. That is true I'm not allowed to make money on the course for some reason I've imposed that upon myself because I'm an idiot I Gotta say, uh, you didn't need to tell me about that. Oh so I should just not disclosed a fully used car dealer. Most people would not have said a word.

It gets a little louder. Okay, I promise you, it does get louder. All right. Well, we'll have like a 800 mile or 700 mile trip back home or whatever it is to Chicago But I think we're gonna fix it right now at Wizard Shop.

For about twenty dollars, it does wind from both ends. it does. It's a whiner. Okay, so pulling it onto the lift? Yes, yes, we're ready to fix it All right.

I would offer to help, but you sure don't want me to. I do want to make it back. You know that would be nice. All right, that wine is not bad at all.

This repair should only take a few minutes. Let me know what you guys think: this is a rebuilt Title 2012 CTS-V with 68 000 miles that seems to have really no issues and I paid thirty thousand dollars Tyler paid 29.99.99 and I gave him a one penny tip. So let me know in the comments. this is a good price.

These things go for a lot more. Clean title especially manuals. I've seen them for like 70 grand but 30 grand and I don't have to feel bad daily driving the car because it's a rebuilt title car so who cares. One of the best looking front ends.

Love this All right? I Cannot work on a car with this white hoodie. This is the car show hoodie. Oh and I can't also work on the car with my awesome white Grand National T-shirt If Only Legitstreetcards.com had black apparel too. Awesome! There we go now! I'm ready to work.

Before we get to the service, let's do a little inspection. Uh, so we got brand new tires all the way around. Doesn't look like any uneven wear yet and uh, this is the site it was hit on. so let's look at this area see what we can find.

As far as potential structure issues, this looks kind of crusty and nice. dirty. Like it's like dirty. Yeah.

I Don't know where this car is originally from, but you know this is all aftermarket exhaust. It has headers and then, yeah, it's got headers and pipes. Yeah, it's basically straight piped into Factory mufflers and there really isn't any rust like there's no surface rust. There's nothing.

and on this cheaper exhaust pipe, you would see that for sure if it was a Midwest type of car. This is cat and cats. I Guess if you write the word cat on the pipe, it's there. Peter All right, Yeah, that pipe identifies as a catalytic converter that has definitely been self-identified as a cat.

so this is nice to see. I mean this is definitely a car that was never driven in salt or any bad weather and this side looks exactly the same as this side. So I don't think this is structural. Tyler says both the doors were replaced on the car.

the the plastic side skirt was white so that was replaced. We don't think the quarter panel was touched or the front bumper. so I think it was just kind of possibly T-boned or something. 6l90e Transmission: This is a monster.

Guys have gone nine seconds in the quarter mile with totally stock transmissions and then Tyler had the oil changed at the dealer and they had a bad run of AC Delco oil filters So it was leaking oil. He already threw one in a new oil filter for me. So I thought we were gonna have to replace that, but we don't. Other than that, it's bone dry.

It's beautiful. No leaks from the rack and pinion. The boots look good, we're just going over checking the ball joints and so far so good. mag.

Ride struts look to be original but not leaking. These are nice and tight, nice and these are definitely painted. yellow. Calipers they look to have been silver originally and here's our very very old and used car salesman right here.

He's got a lot of miles. It's video. Inception Finally you've showed up to get this thing. It's it's been about three months wizard.

Thank you for the storage. Yeah, no problem. I'll buy a dinner tonight. Did they paint over the sticker? Yeah dude, they did a really bad job.

Are we? Are we gonna redo those? Yeah. I Like the yellow I don't think I don't think it's bad. Then we get the long tube headers. Looks like they had to do a little bit of clearancing right there for them and Then maybe someone towed something from there.

It looks like they did clearancing with like a Sawzall Like not correct. Yeah, that's that. They really wanted to get those on and like the parts store was closed and it was midnight. Like just whatever.

Get a file. So yeah, looking back here, everything looks to be original original patina. I Don't think it was ever rear-ended Uh, it's solid. Factory Mufflers I Really like this.

This is very legit street cars to do long tube headers and keep the factory. Mufflers All the performance up front and kind of no fuss back here. It's kind of the opposite of a mullet which is business up front party in the rear. This is it's the opposite.

but I still like it. It's a reverse mullet anyway. Peter I'm uh, I'm procrastinating. We need to drain this fluid and see what we need to.

Yeah, yeah, we gotta see what dumps out. We need to fix this car for twenty dollars and then we'll just tell Tyler that it's not fixed so you don't feel that bad. That's the plan. All right.

You guys know the rules. One bite, one bite, you know the rules. Is that what he says I Don't know the pizza guy. Anyway, my rule is not anything to do with pizza, but it has to do with opening the fill plug.

first. You don't want to drain the fluid out to find out that your fill plug is frozen and then you're dead in the water in Kansas Smells like normal diff fluid. So far here we go. Oh yeah, that's a little glittery.

that is very glittery and what we got here. yeah I mean that doesn't look too bad, but yeah. swirling whirling gumdrops smells delicious. Yeah, it's a little medley.

can you can you give it to Dora and her friends? The door you go Dora that is Dora My daughter put it on me yesterday and it I thought it was gonna wash away right away, but it's it's a real tattoo for Life Dora the Explorer It's a perfect tattoo I Like it your daughter, your daughter's yeah, yeah, it's good. I think it'll be on there for quite some time. But anyway, all right, yeah, the fluid's a little. A little medley might not have ever been changed though before.

this isn't It doesn't look horrible. It's kind of like the fluid in the Magnetic Ride Control struts and shocks. You know what? Yeah, all right. if you just wipe the magnetic drain plug clean, it's like it never happened.

There you go. now. we're gonna put her back. I'll be all right.

We're gonna be okay. Okay click click click. All right. So this is what's gonna fix it.

Amsoil's Slip Lock limited slip additive eliminates chatter I Wouldn't say we have a chatter. we have more of a wine. but either way, this stuff is amazing at reducing noises in limited slip differentials. If you haven't tried this, it's a great thing to add to your differential, even just for maintenance reasons.

And some fluids don't have any of the additive in them, so you have to use this on a limited slip. Oh Yay! Tyler is ruining my scene here. but with with the sound of this, it's okay. it just needs limited slip additive bathing suit.

You gotta have that. Yeah right. You guys hear that chatter when he pushes the clutch pedal in, it's gone now because he's in, he's in gear. now.

If you guys watch, there it is. if you guys watch the Talon series that I think probably has a dual clutch just like we do and that's normal now that Tyler's done ruining our scene with the Gt350h. rude, rude. we can get to this although I'm used to airplanes by the airport running my scene.

So I guess I'll take that. Okay, so we're just going to put this entire four ounce. yeah, it sounds good four ounce container in the differential. and yes, I had all this stuff shipped out to Wizards Garage because you can't fly with more than three ounces or with more than seven inches of tools.

So yeah, you guys know that from our other Adventure videos. If you're going to bring tools, make sure they're not any longer than seven inches. So if you're gonna bring extensions, bring multiple three inch extensions and so on and so forth. And let the comments roll about not being able to fly with certain amount of inches get to work.

Come in section Challenge! All right, and of course my leaves. Now this was not opened by a razor blade that was Peter's mouth and we're running the 7590 weight severe gear. So again, this does have the limited slip. we didn't need that but I kind of just like to throw it in there.

It's pretty inexpensive and like why not? And now with these Amsoil squeeze pouches we squeeze it in and if you guys want 25 off of all Amsoil products, there will be a link down below. you can buy them from my link. I Get a tiny little commission that pays partially for these insane trips that we take links down downstairs. somewhere around here.

it's there. Oh hey, look I have a but what fun is that? Hold on, let me stab it for you. We don't know where any of Wizards tools are, so we're just kind of winging it here. It's like going to the bathroom like on a toilet that's not yours, not your home toilet.

I Don't understand the comparison there. Peter You feel most comfortable with your own toilet. Okay, yeah, but it's not like you can't find like things in the toilet like you know where the toilet paper is. Well I don't know, but like going through somebody else's box is like taking and dumping your grandma's house.

It's differential fluid change has taken a turn. Peter This is all rear end talk. Oh yeah, all right. So as soon as it starts coming out, you're good.

Differential fluid has been changed. Oh wait. I need to get the title from Hoovey. Well he's gone.

He just left in the Mustang and didn't give me the title. Wait, what did you drive in? How did he get here? How did he get here? We're gonna have to hunt Tyler down and get my title. All right. So we're gonna have to test drive this potentially to hubby's house to get my title unless he's in the process right now of reporting this wagon stolen so we can get it back because we just fixed the differential for like twenty dollars.

I'm washing around Dora Don't worry, my daughter really likes this on me so I cannot disappoint her. She just put it on yesterday and I have to come home. Aren't you supposed to have that thing on on there? When you get a fresh tattoo, a little plastic cover, it's like yeah, not. If you're hardcore like me, you're hardcore like me.

You don't have to get that. Your daughter might need to take a class or something that's really hot I'm burning right now Ah That's really hot. Yeah, that's hot to me. excuse me steaming Peter Do you Not feel pain? No, it went with my sense of smell.

Wow! I Love this! This is a great height to be filling tires at because hopefully we're not doing this on the side of the road, but we might be because this Rim is cracked and then one of the other ones is losing air. It's only like 26 PSI What do we have? So this is 29 29. Fan to get up Peter Foreign. This tire is done so yeah, this one's got a little leak from the rim and I don't really know where any of Wizards tools are so we're just using the fantic.

Rest of the tires were okay and as per usual, we bring our Sonic tool bag loaded up with tools and of course our tire inflator from Fantic and the T8 Max jump starter from Fantig. This thing is an absolute Beast You can start gigantic V8 engines diesel engines with this thing over and over again and it comes in this really cool case. Super portable. You can put it just about anywhere.

Both the jump starter and the tire inflator will charge other devices. You can get these guys on Amazon and I'm Gonna Leave You a killer code Down Below In the description box and the comment section, these things are absolutely amazing. I Keep the tire inflator in probably half of my fleet all of my daily drivers. They both have super bright LED lights and bringing these with you is the difference between calling a tow truck and being stranded somewhere and simply just moving on like that tire might go low on our drive home.

And we don't care because we got the tire inflator. so check out the links down below and the coupon codes. This is limited time and every time I mention these, they sell out within a day or two. so don't wait.

Do we have a spare? Should we check there on that one spare tire? Yeah. I Don't know if this car has a spare tire. A lot of the Amg's don't I don't know. Did the Did Caddy hook us up for the spare? What is this? By the way? Oh, it's an extra door harness.

It's exactly what you want to find in your car. You pretty much guarantee the car's been T-boned if there's a door harness in the back. I Don't know if Tyler has a dog, but someone had a dog at some point. It doesn't smell like dog in here though.

All right, let's see what we have here. Oh, the tire shaped opening. Oh yeah. Oh, we got okay.

that's nice. until we have a spare. No, what in the world is this though? It's where the spare goes. Subwoofer.

Dude, it's a subwoofer. Oh yeah it is. That is so cool. Wait a minute.

So like they have it held in just like a spare tire. I'm so cute. It's like that this is just a sub, Isn't it? It is. Also, it looks like there's enough room to have a spare if you wanted.

Yeah, but then you'd have to get rid of this. No, you can put the sub inside the spare. It's a big wheel right? So you're saying you can have. You could push you can.

What? Why not both? Oh I Thought I Thought you were I thought you were going for. You can have your cake and eat it too. Oh yeah, we can have our tres leches cake and eat it too. Dude.

I would love to have a spare tire and a sub. and Cake right now that would be amazing. This is the absolute coolest way to mount a subwoofer in a car. It's like a sleeper subwoofer because it looks like a spare and it has an arrow that points in a certain direction.

I'm not sure where it's supposed to point. I'm going to point the arrow straight to give us maximum maximum base zero alignment. That's my empty subwoofer tire alignment. The tire inflator fits in anywhere but like it was basically meant for the.

CTS V This is unbelievable. And the jump starter? That's your new home fellas. There you go! I Really like this car and yes I forgot this part of it. We're just so excited.

Thank you! Foreign. Okay, let's hit the road. let's see what this differential sounds like. All right, we gotta here the differential.

That's the main goal and purpose of this test drive. Peter All right, I'm listening. Keep listening people's name. Listen to that.

I mean I Hear some supercharger wine? Yeah, that's pretty good. Basically, we give it a little gas and then let off on the D cell that's very quiet. That is very quiet. huh? Let me get a little bit more dance.

Give it a little more here. it's just instant. yeah I Don't hear anything? Yeah. I Think we fixed it? Yes, sorry, sorry.

this isn't the first time though. Like I've had chatter issues and all sorts of weird sounds to be fixed by switching out the differential fluid and that additive is awesome. All right, we are in the middle of now. We got we are.

We gotta take advantage. We don't get this out All right. We don't get this where we're from. Let's do this.

Oh man, yes, dude, that's really good. I uh I should have had the traction control off. It kind of kicked in on there I Don't even remember where the button is. It's on the steering wheel.

Oh yeah. TC on the stream. Oh ah. TC button is on the steering wheel I I Didn't remember that.

All right? Well, you gotta try this again. We got to put the differential. We gotta warm it up. Yeah, that's that's what we're doing.

The Rite of Passage. Yeah, okay. that was fun. The brakes work.

The brakes work very well. Yeah, okay. it's got aftermarket pedal thingies that fell off. Oh interesting.

These have like buttons from the factory. They're right here. See, look, they still work. Oh oh cool.

All right. So here we go. Traction control off. All right.

This thing rips. oh that's really. I I Don't even know everything that's done to this car. I asked Tyler he's like I don't know but okay.

we got long tube headers. we got an upper pulley. we got an intake box. we know it was Dyno Tuned Um, we should pop the hood and explore.

Yeah yeah, explore like Dora the Explorer Dora the Explorer okay I don't hear anything though. Yeah, that sounds really good. I mean we fixed this differential 100 dude. Wow, that's awesome.

No instance that's really good. I Really like this car. guys. let me know in the comment section: I like my Tesla it's a very cool spec.

It's very fast and I don't know what to do. This is obviously an older car with way less tech and and stuff like that. but I mean this is a nice daily Dude, this is really sweet. I'm daily it a lot of room and then I could sell the Tesla for way more than I paid for this.

So I like have money back? Yeah and like you know, you can suck down the dino juices. Yeah, someone's got to use it up right? Yeah? I mean it's just ready whenever it's a button. The accelerator pedal is basically an on off switch. It is ready to rock whenever the trans shifts so well.

I mean it's drives straight as a narrow. The brakes are phenomenal. Uh, it's got a subwoofer. It's red.

It's a wagon. Okay. yellow calipers, yellow calipers that we're gonna have to repaint. What more can a man want? All right, let's see how much boost this thing is running.

That was not all the Boost Yeah, it didn't go that high like it went up to like 13. PSI we haven't even maxed out the factory gauge. Wow! All right, we gotta at least max out the back to engage when you spin it all the way around. Yes! I'm really thinking E85 Kit Uh guys.

LSA guys Ls9 guys, let me know if I run E85 on this car. How much boost can I run like? 18 is 18? Too much to ask for I mean it's art. it's it's a factory boosted car. so I would imagine I could see you could easily double it 20 cents.

This could be 600 low, 600 wheel. Oh yeah with like zero engine work. Oh yeah, not even a cam. I Know this car isn't new anymore, but we are living in the Pinnacles Yeah Oh the peak.

Yeah. Internal combustion? Yeah yeah. right now I mean like you know Hellcat's going electric. Everything's going electric.

This is it people. It's like the 60s muscle car High horsepower arrow with all the technology. Yep to bring it fully before they all die. This time that we're in right now will forever be the most human beings could extract from internal combustion on a mass scale.

Maybe in 50 or someone will figure something else out, but like we're living it right now. people realize the moment the cars that we have access to right now and that are readily available. A lot of them are common and we don't think much of it. We're at a special time.

Yeah, we really are. It's like a beautiful sunset right before it goes dark. It's like yes, enjoy it because you might not wake up. It's part of the reason why I'm considering swapping out the Tesla for this because like I'll have my whole life to drive in electric car as a daily.

But dude there there are states that are you know Banning internal combustion and there's only so much Dino juice left. so might as well we can make it we can make out. Yeah, some states are Banning gasoline cars. yeah and like that could come to us one day.

Yeah and then I I feel like I would look back and be like why did I drive that Tesla when I could have been driving this or your Grand National or my granite right? So that's a justification, right? Drive the good cars while you can. Yeah, because you might. It's like this might just be end up being like a showpiece. you know, like you're just like.

That's what cars used to be like. but we can't run those anymore. Five dollars a gallon. It's like an iRobot.

You know when he says oh, this that thing runs on gas he's like oh yeah, it's vintage. we're in that time before the iRobots take over. Oh gosh, yeah. anyway I think we're done fixing this thing mechanically.

So yeah, next time we drive, this is tomorrow for 800 miles. Okay, great, all right Wizard, We are going to be hitting the road tomorrow morning. Oh and hang on. Okay I brought you a present All right.

I Like presents you get an official legit street cars. oh t-shirt thank you. There you go, let's see if it what it looks like last time I was here I didn't have these yet. so there there you are.

very cool I appreciate it. Yes, thank you for keeping the car for me. Yep, no problem and I'll uh show you a text and let you know how this all goes. Yeah let me know I'm crossing my fingers you make it home I think last time you you thought I'd make it home in the CL but you weren't sure this one.

It's got to be more confidence in this one right? Yeah. I think there is more Okay good wizards bless this car. So with these with these cats spell on it. Oh I'm not a priest all right Wizard is cast a spell on the car, but a good good charm spell wizard.

Thank you very much. No problem. So this station wagon has a G meter and a lap timer and it does this. All right guys.

it's early the next morning. This thing has remote start. see if it works. Oh it works.

Cold start all right. We're about to, uh, head over to the gas station. This thing gets horrendous fuel economy. It's 14 and 19.

and that's like pickup truck fuel economy. I Would have thought it would do better on the highway, but I don't know. We'll see what it does in the real world though. Gas is so cheap out here, it's like almost a dollar cheaper than Chicago but they only have 91.

here they only have 95 Ron 95 Ron What? Yeah, Terrible. I'm a much bigger fan of 98 Ron Ron's a great fellow. Luckily the CTS-V is okay with 95 runs. I like Max's and Peters Alex is guys.

look at the color of this car. This is definitely one of the main reasons I wanted this particular wagon. I Had never seen one in this color in person but I knew it existed and I knew it was the color for me. Obviously we have.

you know some multiple color things going on here in the sun. You can really tell I don't think the quarter panel. well no. then it disappears.

it looks darker but now it looks totally fine. Head on. I don't know I don't know. maybe the match isn't that bad.

No, it's bad. it's bad. I think these handles are the original I don't know what's going on Guys paint paint experts. In the comment section, it's just not painted properly on this side right? I Gotta I gotta probably redo that if I want it to be perfect.

and I do think I'm going to get new headlight lenses. This one looks to be much newer than this one. It's kind of just gives it away that this was in an accident and I believe that they painted this. Um so I think it's plastic? Do you think it's plastic? look at the look at on the bottom I think I'd rather just have it be Chrome So I don't know, we're gonna do some stuff we might I don't know this.

The Stance is pretty good in the front. We might go a little bit more low in the rear. um and then I got to repaint the brake calipers. get the windows tinted but this wagon lowered with tints and all detailed up.

Man this is going to be a good looking car. This is the CTS V key but it doesn't have push button. it's got Turn fake key which has always been a little weird. Like I said, we had a 2008 six cylinder one.

same deal but it's like this doesn't come out or anything. It could have just been a button, but whatever. We have a full tank of gas. We have a factory boost gauge.

We have a G meter that I'll admit I'm I'm not using at all. We have 30 29 PSI of hot oil pressure. That's perfect. Trans Sap 113 battery voltage Fourteen four.

What else do we need people? Nothing. My life is complete except I Wish I had a panoramic sunroof. I'll admit it, you got an Equinox. Yeah.

Max Just got an Equinox and now he's all high and mighty as remote start a power hatch. Panoramic sunroof. What else? Uh, it's got heated seats. Heated seats.

My driver heated seat does not work. It pretends to work now. watch. hold on.

it'll go away. Yep, it's gone. Oh, this one works. Yeah, that one works All right.

there you go. Do you want me to just consolidate the two bars so we don't wait? You know what? Max Because of your Equinox comments, you're only getting one bar of heated seats. All right guys, we got gas. Max says human gas.

This is basically poison, but it's delicious. Yeah. Peter's been gassing the hotel room out all night and the car. They don't have a roach problem anymore, that's for sure.

Yeah, we killed them all. I got my coffee, we were getting on the highway and right now I'm just kind of like pretending I woke up and I'm going to work. Um, because this could be my new daily driver. so I just want to get a good feel for it, see if I like it, if it's comfortable, you know, and all that good stuff.

I'm used to the Tesla with autopilot and all these features everywhere and this thing kind of doesn't have anything and it's a 2011. I thought it was a 2012 but then I realized it didn't have the lane departure warning which came standard in 2012 or standard Bluetooth it doesn't have that either. This car has nothing. This is like as base model as a CTS-V can get zero options.

It's like whoever bought this wanted like the lightest possible version. I I don't know I would have optioned it out. Personally, it's like going to work, but you picked up two idiots. Yeah, and then you're stuck in the car with them for another 10 hours.

This is what we do. we carpool. so I picked these guys up from from daycare and then we all go to work together. Yay! Not that this is like a difficult car to drive or anything like that, but it's just a little bit more involved than driving the Tesla That thing's like always on autopilot and you're kind of.

It just gets a little boring after a while and this thing is just the complete opposite. Let's see now we get some fresh gas in here so we should probably run out the old gas from the fuel lines and the rail. We should get that out of the system. You know what that means.

Sustained high-speed runs at the speed limit. We set the speed limiter to 55. All right, as soon as we get out of this turn. oh, hold on, let's do my pedal buttons.

There we go. Oh 70. that's crazy. We got all the way up to 70.

I'm a Madman I know while we stopped for gas I Already researched the E85 kit. bigger fuel pumps and injectors. That's pretty much all this car needs. It has every other bolt-on it just needs E85 for the environment because it burns cleaner, you know? And that's what I'm going for.

So that's what it basically just runs on corn, right? Yeah, it's a vegetarian. Does it say with the Carpio vegetarian? Yes, it would be cruise control set. I'm daily driving. It's basically a Prius It's a Prius average economy 16.4 and um, like 16.7 was it.

And we've We've driven like 80 miles. So this is about it. This is some real this is horrible gas like my wife's Escalade gets better fuel economy than this thing. What does hers do? She's got like eight speech.

I Mean, it gets up right? She's got an eight speed. It gets about the same, but like still, that's an Escalade an all-wheel drive. Like two times the amount of metal, right? And it's supercharged and has actually about the same crank horsepower. Yeah, the Escalade's got about 640.

This did 550 wheels, so it's probably just a little bit more. Yeah, so you basically have the ideal his and hers Cadillac combo. Yeah, Should I get those plates? You should. You should I Would like it to get better fuel economy.

so do we know anybody who can do that? I did make a 40 MPG Ecovet. so why don't you make a 40 MPG Avito. All right. So we just looked this up.

The first one just turns off traction control, so in a straight line you could rip burnouts and all that kind of good stuff. and then competitive mode turns off the Stabila controller, the stability track so it turns off like your yaw rate sensors and all that kind of good stuff. So when you're going around a track, you basically have no AIDS or next to no AIDS. It's kind of unclear on the internet, but it's going to let you kind of get more squirrely around turns.

It's not going to kick in and start applying the brakes when you're breaking Traction in a turn. So basically it's a Nurburgring mode. That's that's what that is because this was the fastest sedan around that track in 2009.. Do you hear that? BMW and AMG Guys? Wait a minute.

I'm an AMG Are you hearing yourself? Well But now you're also a Cadillac CTS V Guy Yeah, I am I don't know who I am anymore DSM Guy? yeah and a Mustang and a 15 passenger van guy mostly a 15 passenger I think we all identify as yeah Are there any guys that don't identify as a teamcaster fan? guys? Well, does anyone does anyone else out there have a love for Gigantic fans like I don't know what it is about it, but I love my 15 passenger van more than pretty much every other vehicle you own I don't know why and I don't even have a personal connection with the van like Peter and I were talking about this last night while I was destroying everybody at Topgolf Here's the proof. Oh nice. Like we've taken one road trip in that van and then we basically never used it again. We're gonna fix it and it's gonna be awesome.

We have a pro charger on the way and we have headers for it and all sorts of stuff. but I Love that van and I have a transmission and torque converter that cost double the cost of the actual van and then the ProCharger kit also cost double the cost of the van. Like if this van ever got stolen by like just a normal Thief that goes around stealing bands that look like construction work vans, they would like steal this thing and get a really awesome surprise. steal my van.

Max is editing because that's what he does. Um, this is probably the first time he's edited it in a while. He just sits in the I I in the editing suite for me. Yeah, and and now and I'm driving because that's my job.

I'm the driver and the mechanic Alex does nothing. He's just really useful. He's just really pretty. Yeah, it's like Driving Miss Daisy they drive this.

Oh my Gosh. Oh this feels a lot faster when you're not like ready for it at all. It's like deep in thought. Peter what are you guys talking about before that just happened.

Let me just talking trash. Oh I'm like were you talking about doing that? Yeah, all right. Oh my gosh dude, this thing is fast. It's good right? My kids are gonna love this.

back seats. it's so nice and comfortable. Oh this seat has a rip in it so it needs for cars. I Had to pass I Had to pass this.

Oh okay, that makes sense. It was a safety. a safety concern. This thing is frightening, but it's not really.

It's like it's so quiet when you're just driving. It's like a stock car. Yeah, yeah, oh man. I had to wait till you were looking down.

Max is editing I'm emailing trying to edit I'm trying to email about 5 000 people and Peter's just beating on the wagon work. I'm working too I'm driving. What is this? The time is right to sell your collector car and I'm not just saying that because you can join me. Tyler Hoover when I sell some of my collection is that one of his designs? oh this is Barrett Jackson stuff.

Hey, can you read it like your Tyler Hoover I mean not to an impression, but like cheese it up, cheese it up. The time is right to sell your car. There's no idea. Yeah, yeah, hey guys, welcome back to the channel.

Oh yeah okay. he's like kind of chirpy and like yeah, the time is right to sell your car. and I'm not just saying that because you could join me Tyler Hoover sorry Tyler that's horrible. That is horrible.

We don't pay him for his acting skills, that's for sure. horrible actor. but I do like to look at receipts here. We have a dealership receipt.

I guess uh. Hoobie took it in hey took it to the dealer a GM dealer for an oil change and I love the fact that they still call this a Lube oil and filter that is from like the old days where there were zerk fittings everywhere and things were actually lubricated and they still include that in the description. It says like the oil change filter and then lubricate suspension. There's absolutely nothing on this suspension that could be lubricated at all.

Um, multi-point inspection, cracked rim on the inside and then everything is a green light. Green light. Oh my God red light. If you're wondering why you're getting 16 miles per gallon, it's because Peter's done that eight times.

Oh my gosh Oh we found a receipt for 470 dollars. Oh, it's not an Acura for Peter Oh that's me. Yeah, that's mine. All right guys.

We stopped to get gas. Uh I have no idea where we are but I do know that there is a single gas pump. Well there's one for diesel over there. but are we did.

We transport ourselves back in time. This looks like 19, like 83. This is awesome. Like I'm excited to see what kind of they could probably get like biscuit grits like homemade.

Just waiting. They're making beef jerky in there right now. All right, let's get gas. I don't know if I want to beat on the car after we get this 91 octane in the middle of nowhere.

but uh yeah, all right guys. I'll just I'll fill up. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll be fine.

All right. Thanks Thanks guys. Even pay with a credit card out here. wait it says oh I Gotta go in.

The store is awesome. They have boots in here. They have everything, groceries, boots. Peter That's all you dude.

I don't have one American dude and one in Japan Yes, you're not gonna find that here though. store ever. You pump first and then you pay what they trust us? no way. I I Didn't even know what to do I haven't seen that since I was a child.

This is the best store guys! You gotta check what state are we even in? all right here we go getting gas. you walk out of there with our food. They trusted us. Oh my gosh, they said he said he saved the sale so you're gonna pump your stuff yeah and he's gonna add it right I said I literally said I will wait here with the food till he gets back in so you know he's gonna pay for it.

He's like Oh no you're good oh my God look at this is a whole nother side of the store. Everything you could ever. It's here and they're so nice I don't know what to do. Beard wash, cargo pants, tied, an ice cream all within a few feet of each other.

What's in here? and speakers and wallets and and fancy clothes. Wow it's 189 and we can get beef jerky on the other side. Wait till you guys see the sandwiches we just bought. All right guys I Rarely take you into bathrooms and my videos.

I've done this once when we got the van from North Dakota I mean look at this beautiful wood bathroom. I mean it smells so good. Oh wait, this is totally fake. This is like wallpaper.

Okay, it still smells really really good. I Love this place! I Gotta show you what their Deli selection is like here. There's a sign that says pick one meat and one cheese equals two dollars. They just have mustard and mayo.

No real options and you get it on like Wonder Bread Like white Wonder Bread It's like your mom made you a sandwich for school. I mean I'm moving. Where are we Missouri Williamsburg Missouri this is where I want to be folks with my CTS-V wagon. All right.

So I picked up some maple bacon flavored chips Uncle Ray's wait what not not for sale in California Okay, some would say that's how you know it's the good stuff. Why isn't this for sale on? Kel What is in this? It has a definition of self-control on the back of this bag. rejecting wrong desires and doing what's right, setting your own limits, refusing to equate desires with rights. What in the world? I Have no idea what's going on right now, but I'm about to submit to some desires of eating chips that taste like waffles and syrup and bacon.

I'm sorry people in California or maybe I'm not. Let's see what he says like oh man, I'm sorry. Are they good dude Dude, you guys were you ever do uh Eggos with maple syrup on them? oh my God yes that's so good. Whoa that is so good.

Yeah, are you serious? That's amazing? No you can't answer me. These chips are so good. Should we go? I'm gonna get another bag. Yeah yeah well grinding over bags it was only two dollars I Like that they had a dolly behind the cashier and they they freshly sliced all of this at the gas station.

Yeah, we're having some food before we get to editing in the back seat. so Peter's gonna drive us around like a chauffeur while we sit back here and watch a video that comes out before this video comes out. Yeah yeah, it's like Inception it was weird should we call them Jeeves Jeeves yeah Peter will be our Jeeves Well we sit back here and do more important things than driving peasants drive vehicles. Hey guys, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen on the back of a potato chip bag.

I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but you can pause the video right now and read it for yourself. This is I don't know what's going on here CTSV Recaro Seats 2 000 bucks. these look pretty nice in Illinois everything just got more expensive interference stuff. Yeah, yeah, you can't Oh, you're like one of those old men who loses their earring up top when I was born with a burst effect.

but thanks Peter which one your face? there's a lot. it's a red Ferrari that's a Miata Oh yeah, it might be a Miata Yeah we beat him. Racer Racer flyby. See ya! Okay, we just drove 12 hours right to a polling voting station.

Uh, I had three minutes left to vote for the Mayor of Chicago and they gave me a little sticker. So I'm gonna be one of those guys that does no I'm not gonna do that. don't like the I voted thing. it's like just vote and just that's it.

You did it as I tell everybody that I've voted I Walked in and they're like do you are you in this Precinct and I'm like yes and they're like you're late I'm like I just got in from Kansas and I'm like I'm not from Kansas I'm from here I can vote and they're like okay you get the last ballot so I did it and we made it. By the way, we're back in Chicago Obviously we made it with the CTS-V wagon without a hitch. No lights on the dash uh Max and I got a ton of work done in the back seat here like I mean Peter got no speeding tickets which was very surprising because he was doing the speed limit I don't know why I was surprising. yeah he was doing the speed limit.

We ate a lot of awesome food at that one gas station. Two dollars two dollar sandwiches. You can't beat it. So uh well.

yeah we're gonna be uh, bringing this back to legit street cars in the morning after getting some sleep. So I will see you there. All right guys. hang on before we in the scene here.

I Just gotta I Gotta show you the kick the Cadillac collection we have going on here. Two supercharged, roughly 650 horsepower a piece family vehicles. This could be my daily driver. that's my wife's daily driver.

I Don't know. that's pretty cool I might have to do this and I know I've already talked about this, but they literally get the same gas mileage which is ridiculous. Let's just talk about stock form that one I think is rated at 20 or 19 or 20 MPG and that one's rated at 19 on the highway. That makes zero sense I don't I don't agree with it, but it's true.

What do we got? Max 18 I got exactly 18 and I was really I was babying it for most of that and it's not. It can't be the tune. it's in closed loop. it's running at 14.7 to 1 air fuel I mean one Lambda it's one Lambda I should check though.

it might maybe it's out of closed loop and that would do it. but no. But whatever. they get 19 from the factory.

That's horrible. all right guys. So we made it back to legits three quarters in the CTS V wagon without a hitch. There were basically no issues other than having to refill the tire.

Uh, just a couple of times it went a little low and then overnight it does lose quite a bit like 10 psi so we have to get the crack fixed on the wheel. But mechanically, this thing is flawless. I Mean there's just it. shifts perfectly.

no lights, no nothing. It's awesome. And it's a little bit too awesome because it has me seriously thinking of getting rid of this. My dream spec p100d Tesla So I don't know what to do I'm so conflicted right now I'm a little worried to check the comments right now because I think you guys are all going to say just dump this Tesla get Rid Of it But I have been into electric cars for a long time as a daily driver.

I think they serve a really good purpose for that. We just washed this thing up so I have them side by side. I'll show you kind of a little bit of comparison here and there, but uh, this has been such a nice daily driver. but I Really like this car too.

So I had looked for a blue P100d in this exact spec black interior with the fifteen thousand dollar full self-driving option. This has that ludicrous plus: I had the wheels done in black chrome so that's done. It's got the big red brake calipers, this has the heated and cooled seats and this glass roof actually goes back. Then they went to a fixed roof.

We did some carbon fiber Ppf and half the car is wrapped in the clear Ppf as well. I Just I Really love this car I Really do. but man would I really like to drive that red wagon. Just look at it.

it's so cool. So anyway, a couple comparisons here. Uh I Really like the glass roof on this car that has no glass roof whatsoever. Although it does look kind of cool without anything on the roof, especially in that red color.

I Did this cool carbon fiber spoiler on here and then we wrapped this in carbon fiber with the factory. Tesla Rays LSC EV It's got Factory moisture inside of the tail lamps I Mean come on. but as far as the daily driver for the family and everything, it's a little dirty in here, but a very nice big back seat. Again, it's dirty but super comfy front seats, a gigantic screen, a phenomenal stereo I Had that updated as well so it's the latest and greatest Tesla screen so they replace that and the cluster.

that's all done. Everything's done. It's a hatchback so there is a ton of room back here just in case you need to haul around your 80s and 90s baseball card collection or your long tube headers or your 3500. Chevy Express van Normal things to be carrying around.

So so as much as I can say a wagon is a perfect daily driver because of all the room back here, it's it's not that much different. Yeah, I don't know which one has more room? Maybe the Tesla I don't know or they're equal. These seats go down so we can lay a bunch of stuff in here, but I would say they're basically equal as far as interior cargo space and also the whole back seat area actually might be a little bigger on the Tesla because it doesn't have the little transmission hump right there and then obviously the tech inside of this car is basically non-existent compared to the Tesla this doesn't have like Lane Departure warning: it doesn't even have factory Bluetooth So yeah it's more kind of just a raw car. but but I Love it I love the interior.

I would get the optional Recaro seats because they'll bolt right in. They would also then be cooled and then I Found some companies that sell a kit that will turn that radio into a more modern one. So I'll have Android auto Apple carplay Bluetooth and all that stuff. So I don't know what else do you need Bluetooth Android auto.

It'll have more modern navigation because it'll have Google Maps then at that point. So yeah it doesn't have full self-driving but but it sounds so good. Now as far as performance goes, the Tesla will kill this thing 0-60 but this would murder it on the highway. The Tesla is kind of slow after 60 70 miles an hour and this thing is not slow at all and I would make it faster.

Of course this thing has the ported blower. It has Cooks headers. It's got all the bolt-ons I would do to a wagon except it's not on E85 So if I do the Dual pumps and bigger injectors and do like a flex fuel kit will be probably 600 six and a quarter to the tires. So this thing will just be an absolute monster with zero sacrifice.

It'll be a very legit street car. It doesn't even have a cam in it or anything. it's got Factory Mufflers so you know I can go pick up the kids. My wife could borrow this without really knowing what's going on, that it's some kind of radical crazy car and it just looks so cool I've always wanted one so let me know in the comments: do I dump the Tesla for the CTS V wagon.

You guys are gonna find out in the next video because I'm going to open that one up with my decision on what I'm doing. So anyway, I Hope you enjoyed this little adventure of ours cruising back from Kansas Uh, yet again and if you did, give it a big thumbs up, share the video with your friends and your family and loved ones and anyone else that you want to pass along the gift of of cool car videos. subscribe. Peter Just told me to tell you guys to subscribe.

so subscribe to the channel and most importantly, have a great day! I'll see all of you in the next one foreign s on it. oh that's mine. Oh this is way bigger than I thought I don't know what I was thinking Oh all right, you guys know the rules. Don't be weak.

That's the first rule. You need a breaker bar. Yeah I need more leverage because he's weak I'm weak All right. Like I said earlier, he's just really weak.

not more than 10 foot pounds I hear Whispering it's not good Alex is Exceptionally, he's just incredibly I think he might have what's it called in your bones to generate. You have like hey, I'm literally like I'm here in the conversation some gas and get that going. All right. So all right Ah that's enough.

but then it'll move around. it might make it I'll just move around. it's not bad I Back oh traffic circle, where are we Indiana I'm not even going to tell you I'm gonna put this in the Lucas because it shows me eating and people aren't going to believe it.
