Son's new whip
So what does a 30 something guy w/2 kids under 3 that hates minivans and thinks SUVs are blotted POS get for a new (to him) ride? He's kind of a car guy with creds that include; Master degree in composites from Cornel, worked for a year on the Jag F1 team in England redesigning the tub, engineer for Ford then GM working on next gen heads and valve train, designed 2 of the delta cars (structure part), Head of SpaceX Structures Division, has 7 patents, and is currently restoring 2 Formula SAE open wheel racers. He gets a 2012 cad station wagon of course
 Probably not my father's gen cad though  Cad Wagon Specs: DriveTrain DRIVE TYPE Rear wheel drive TRANSMISSION 6-speed auto Engine & Performance BASE ENGINE SIZE 6.2 L CAM TYPE Overhead valves (OHV) CYLINDERS V8 VALVES 16 TORQUE 551 ft-lbs. @ 3800 rpm HORSEPOWER 556 hp @ 6100 rpm
