Sweet. The price tag turned off MyFavoriteSecondShooter, however. Just 30 senior orders like that last one, dear!

Hahaha. I am hoping for a used one to pop up at a steal price. I still love the wagon.

Very cool. If you get excited about this, Hennessey is making these with up to 1000 HP here in the Houston area. There are some nice videos on their site too. Cadillac - who would of thought!
