Cadi with 6 on the floor

I've also taken to looking at offerings on CARMAX. I drive a little FIAT 500 and sometimes I yearn for something a tad bit larger. Of course, I've been looking at Cadillacs. I don't want anything electric or hybrid. I was also delightfully shocked to learn that Cadillac offers a 2025 model with manual transmission. Cadillac hasn't made a manual transmission since 1953!
The classification of this vehicle is called BLACKWING. It's part of the CT4 model.
Automatic transmission is a standard feature on most GM cars. The thought of owning something that large with a stick shift seems like a head-turner or a deal-breaker. The downside? It's listed as getting 15 miles per gallon on streets. That would be about two gallons of gas just to go roundtrip to work. Probably the only way I could afford to feed such a car would be to have it housed in a garage while I take the bus.
Then there is the fear of having it broken into.
Still... Living in a world that's run by clean energy versus fossil fuel would make my vehicular considerations pretty irresponsible.
Sometimes I wonder how responsible I am by identifying as a hippie in the new millennium. A millennium, I might add, that isn't so new anymore!
