2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport - A Hoary Diary - Automobile
Between approximately 10 a. m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 1 (Super Bowl Sunday) and 7 a. m. EST on Monday, Feb. 2 (Groundhog Day), about a foot of snow dropped on Ann Arbor, Michigan, rendering its poorly plowed roads impassable by the majority of Michigan’s vehicles, which are typically equipped with useless all-season tires and driven by similarly useless... This is the diary of a man who, early Monday morning, journeyed onto snow-covered roads in a 420-hp, rear-wheel-drive 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport in hopes of assisting these beleaguered drivers. Perhaps something that I can throw a tow strap on and … nope, it’s the 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport. Snow and ice drip off the CTS’s windows and down onto its plum-color paint. I grab a shovel from the garage, rest it across the Cadillac’s rear bench seat, and get into the driver’s seat, pounding my boots on the WeatherTech floormats. I begin backing out of my driveway, lightly tapping the brakes, when I notice the rearview camera is covered in snow. The pause is enough to get the rear tires stuck in a couple of small piles of snow. Out comes the shovel, and then out comes the 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport. I’m nearly to the main road when a 2013 Ford Fusion in front of me slowly slides to a stop, its front wheels spinning frantically. I put the CTS in park, get out, and start pushing on the Fusion’s trunklid. Source: www.automobilemag.com
