About CadVetteStang's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I built and owned the two 1972 fastback Mustang Sprints that were used as the one Mustang chase car in the movie "Shelter" (which was produced in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1997). I also played "Wayne" in that movie. Wayne was the lead bad guy in the shoot-em up opening action sequence of the movie.
It was not a big speaking role, but it was my acting break into a Screen Actor's Guild movie. That film was first released on HBO and has since been translated to several languages is still circulated in many foreign markets on cable TV.
I am a part-time movie producer who works full time for a commercial jet factory. I have not yet had the "big break" that will allow me to go full time into filmmaking, but I am still in the hunt for the investors that will allow that to happen. More about my filmmaking can be seen at http://www.my...m/codygcarson
I am the producer of the movie, "Culture Wars", a low budget Christian film with a conservative political viewpoint. It was sabotaged during filming and will require extensive computer generated editing to salvage it. As of right now, the movie is completely filmed, but stuck in post production. I am also the author of the short story "The Hypocrite and the Witch Who Loved Him". That story is competing in an international writing contest right now. As the title implies, it is a faith-based love story that deals with the occult.
My interests are: Filmmaking, acting, modeling, writing screenplays and novels, freelance talent scout, building Cadillac powered hotrods, autocross racing, and drag racing, inventing, and designing house plans.
NOTE: I would like to mention that although my status as a film producer leads to having a lot of female friends on this and other websites, I am a faithfully married Christian husband and father, and I would never do anything to harm my family. I am not interested in getting dates with any of my female friends here or on any other website like myspace, facebook, etc. However, I do work as a freelance talent scout and work with aspiring actresses and models who want to get into movies WITHOUT compromising their morals. I say this because I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me having a lot of young attractive female friends- I am NOT a player.
My company's wonderful health insurance program saved my wife's life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I thank God for my current full time employment.
Current medical bills have slowed my efforts to restore the unfinished projects in my garage, however, since my wife's surgeries are finished, I should be able to resume construction or reconstruction of them soon.
In the recent past, I worked for two companies that went out of business which caused a financial crisis forcing me to abandon my project cars at several friends' houses. Before that I was working for low income jobs that limited my ability to complete my projects.
I was a late bloomer when it came to cars and I was not taught what to like. Therefore I have a wide range of automotive interests. However, I do lean towards American Muscle cars and Big Block Cadillac engines.
My childhood background was in science, science fiction, acting and student filmmmaking. I became interested in cars when I took a ride in the 70 Eldorado that my dad had bought for my mom. She did not want the car, so I asked if it could be my 16th birthday present. I was 15 at the time, and the car was green and had been damaged in a parallel parking maneuver by the original owner's 16 year old daughter. She had put a one inch deep scrape half way down the driver's side rear quarter panel and busted out one of the tail lights. It was a good excuse to get rid of the green color. Dad and I worked on it for three months in our spare time. With the help of my uncle, who has recently passed on, we did a homemade paint job in our garage in 1982.
When I drove it to school on my 16th birthday, it was white and wore a fresh coat of paint. We put glass packs on it, and I loved to pass slow school busses on Highway 10; The car would go from 40 – 85 before I could get it back into my lane in that quick maneuver and it "wowed" my friends on the bus as the 500 engine roared and rattled the windows of the bus. I soon got hooked on street racing the car and rarely lost.
My first car
1970 Cadillac Eldorado, white, 500 cid. engine 560 lbs. torque @ 3400 RPM, 400 HP @ 4200 RPM All stock. SCCA autocross racing, street racing, drag racing

So this post was going to be for Eugenio Velez and then I read that Jon Daniels was named Executive of the Year by Baseball America and so I had to mention that first and foremost. Congratulations to Jon and the whole Rangers organization. Very much deserved. It's Time, and all that.
Anyway. I miss Eugenio already. Which is weird, because he hardly played last year, but I still miss him, you know, being there. I know there is still the possibility that the Giants will sign him to a minor league contract, but I doubt that will happen. At first I was very sad to hear they had non-tendered him but I'm trying to look at a bright side. Hopefully he will find an organization that does need and want him now and has room for him in the majors. I think if someone puts some confidence in him and gives him a real chance he will be a strong MLBer. (Don't breathe a word about his bunt attempts. Seriously. Don't.) And I do have a few teams on my wish list of who signs him. Ahem, Doug Melvin or Jon Daniels? Y'all should sign Eugenio Velez. To see him in Brewer Blue or Ranger Red would make me very happy.
Meanwhile the Giants did tender Andres Torres, Jonathan Sanchez, Cody Ross, Javier Lopez, Ramon Ramirez and Santiago Casilla. Ray and Velez are the two who were not tendered. Both Burrell and Fontenot were signed to one year, one million dollar deals. It looks to me (and probably to everyone else on the face of this beautiful planet) like Sabean is trying to re-sign everyone and keep the idea the same. The problem I see with that, as I've written about before, is they're not misfits anymore. They're players who won the World Series and are earning some nice money now. Will it work again?
Then again, there might be some big moves still ahead for the Giants. Sabean tends to surprise us like that. So you know when we'll find out? Yeah, you guessed it. The Winter Meetings. Three days. I am still giddily excited. Stay tuned.
And it's Day 8 and the snowflake earrings are still in my ears, in case you were wondering.
Diamond Girl
p.s. Dave Groeschner is due for a mohawk. In the Inside the Clbhouse: Hitters from January, he tells Pablo that if they go to the World Series, he'll get one. They went to the World Series. Heck, they won the World Series. He totally needs to get one now.

News Hasenkopf to file new lawsuit against Mynář
A fresh row has broken out between President Zeman's Chancellor Vratislav Mynář and a former lawyer at the Office of the President Pavel Hasenkopf. Hasenkopf, who on Monday accepted a court settlement in a drawn-out-dispute with the Office of the President over the authorship of ex-president Vaclav Klaus' controversial 2013 amnesty, is said to be incensed by Mr. Mynář's claim that he had agreed to a settlement because he feared he would lose the case. According to his lawyer Mr. Hasenkopf now intends to sue Chancellor Mynář for slander.

Holocaust survivors and politicians attend memorial ceremony at Terezín
Scores of survivors and dozens of chairpersons and deputy chairpersons of European parliaments attended a ceremony honouring victims of the Holocaust at the former Terezín concentration camp in Central Bohemia on Tuesday. The event was timed to coincide with a ceremony at Auschwitz marking the 70th anniversary of its liberation. The Nazis are transported up to 100,000 Jews from Terezín to Auschwitz and other death camps between 1940 and 1945, while around a fifth of those interned in Terezín met their deaths there.
Zaorálek slams Zeman's idea of unified military action against Islamic terrorists
The Czech minister of foreign affairs, Lubomír Zaorálek, has expressed strong opposition to the kind of joint military action against Islamic terrorism proposed on Tuesday by President Miloš Zeman. In a statement, Mr. Zaorálek asked whether a "crusade" should be launched, and if so against whom and where. "Against Jihadist groups from Senegal to Somalia, against Libya, Yemen or Pakistan? Nonsense!" wrote the minister. Mr. Zaorálek said Muslims needed to take a leading role in curing the cancer of radical Islamic ideology. He said Arabs in particular should demonstrate that murder and terror are not the true face of Islam, adding that he did not believe in further Western military intervention in Syria, Iraq, or "God knows where". Earlier Mr. Zeman had warned of a "super-holocaust" leaving hundreds of millions dead if Islamic State was not stopped.
Prague's Werich Villa to become Voskovec and Werich Arts and Social Centre
A famous villa on Prague's Kampa is set to become the Voskovec and Werich Arts and Social Centre in honour of the great Czech actors Jan Werich (who lived there) and Jiří Voskovec. It will be operated by the Jan and Meda Mládek Foundation. The authorities in Prague 1 voted on Tuesday to rent the Werich Villa to the organisation for CZK 600,000 a year on a 10-year contract with the option of another 10-year term when the first comes to an end. The future of the building had been the subject of speculation since 2002, when it was damaged in flooding.
Prague approves possible return to paper travel passes
Prague councillors have approved a possible return to paper long-term public transport passes that would start in March. The paper passes could be introduced if the city loses licenses for the Opencard electronic card system that was brought in to replace them. Opencard contracts signed by previous Prague governments are reported to have been overpriced. Mayor Adriana Krnáčová said last week that the city was prepared to introduce paper passes in order to avoid being forced to pay for new licenses under pressure of time. The operator of the service, eMoneyServices, has called for a stabilisation of the situation. Otherwise, it said, it would demand the city settle all its debts to the firm.
Zaorálek hands second diplomatic note to Norwegian Embassy over child custody case
The Czech minister of foreign affairs, Lubomír Zaorálek, has handed a second diplomatic note to the Norwegian Embassy in Prague in connection with the case of two Czech boys taken into care in the country in 2011 over allegations of sexual abuse. Their mother Eva Michaláková has been campaigning for their return. In the document, Mr. Zaorálek called on the Norwegian social services to enter into dialogue with their Czech counterparts. Norway's ambassador to Prague, Siri Ellen Sletner, said she would pass the note on to her country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Slight rise in number of registered partnerships seen in 2014
Last year 233 couples entered into registered partnerships in the Czech Republic, 32 more than in 2013. The majority of the pairs – 148 – were men. Close to 4,000 gays and lesbians have entered such unions since the institution was introduced by Czech legislators eight and a half years ago. The information has been provided by gay rights activist Milda Šlehofer as no official count is kept, the Czech News Agency reported.
Zeman: Islamic State could carry out "super-holocaust" leaving hundreds of millions dead
The Czech president, Miloš Zeman, has warned of a "super-holocaust" leaving hundreds of millions dead if Islamic State is not stopped. Speaking in Prague at a conference marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, Mr. Zeman said Islamic State was similar in nature to Germany's Nazis at the start of the 1930s. He called for unified armed action against Islamic State led by the United Nations Security Council and warned that more terrorist attacks would need to occur before the public realised that it wasn't possible to negotiate with terrorists.
Czech and Slovak presidents honour victims of Holocaust
The presidents of the Czech Republic and Slovakia honoured victims of the Holocaust in a memorial ceremony at the National Cemetery in Terezín on Monday. Both Miloš Zeman and Andrej Kiska condemned Nazi propaganda in connection with the former ghetto and concentration camp; the Nazis staged social and cultural events in the town during a visit by Danish representatives of the Red Cross in 1944 to mislead officials about the actual use of Terezín, where many died of disease and maltreatment or were sent on to death camps.
Berdych snaps losing streak against Nadal, advances to semi-final at Australian Open
Czech No. men's tennis player Tomáš Berdych snapped a 17-match losing streak against Spain's Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open on Tuesday, defeating his opponent in straight sets to advance to the semi-finals. The Czech completely dominated in the first two sets and withstood Nadal's attempt to fight back in the third. The final score was 6:2, 6:0, 7:6. Berdych faces Great Britain's Andy Murray next.
Australian Open: Berdych looks to break Nadal 'jinx'
Czech men's No. 1 tennis player Tomáš Berdcyh faces Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open on Tuesday looking to put the brakes on a less than lofty record against the star Spanish player: 17 loses in their last 17 match-ups. If Nadal wins their 18th match, he will set a new record in the Open era dating back to 1968. Since then, no player has beaten the same opponent 18 times in a row.

Today's focus is on the home library. A room I dream about one day having. I would love to have an entire room dedicated to my love of books. Complete with floor to ceiling shelves, a rolling ladder, a long worn table with reading lamps set one after the other among stacks of books, a large comfy chair, fireplace, large windows…the list goes on. Believe me; I have a vision of my perfect library. If I had that perfect library, I probably would be hard-pressed to get any work done!
We all can have a home library, you know. Even if it's a shelf snuggled into one corner with a chair, side table and reading lamp, wedged under an open staircase, or included in a room used for more than one purpose such as a dining room, or even nestled in a hallway. It's an achievable goal for all of us. That makes me happy to think about…every home with its own little reading sanctuary….
I found the above wonderful examples of home libraries whilst browsing the web (Click each photo for the source and more inspiration). They are different in style, but all achieve the same end result. I hope they inspire you. Perhaps you're like me with books here and there in many rooms, a bookcase here, a stack there, but you wish for them to all be together in a designated area. You may feel there's no one good spot for all of them together. I believe if one takes the time to really look at one's space, the exactly right area will come to light for the ideal home library. It may require some furniture moving or rethinking a space, but that's half the fun of it.
This photo of author Neil Gaiman's library is one of my all-time favorites.
Thank you so much for visiting. I truly hope this post inspired you, and I'll see you next month!
Happy reading…. xo Dennice

In 1904, the Ogden City School Board decided to build a new elementary school on 20th Street and Ogden Avenue to alleviate overcrowding at other schools. The school was named the Dee School after Judge Thomas D. Dee, who was Board President and active in the Ogden schools. The ten-room structure housed elementary school kids until 1912-13 when it became a junior high school.

When it was enacted in 2004, the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act (MIOTCRA) represented an unprecedented step forward in establishing a federal strategy to prevent the unnecessary incarceration of people with serious mental illnesses and co-occurring substance use disorders. The beauty of this new program was that it allowed federal funding for a variety of state or
In fiscal years 2006 and 2007, Congress appropriated $5 million to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to award "Justice and Mental Health Collaboration" grants through MIOTCRA. Although an important and positive step forward, this level of funding was not nearly enough to meet the demand for this program. For example, in 2006, 250 applications were received by BJA, but only 28
In fiscal year 2008, Congress increased funding for MIOTCRA to $6.5 million. In a difficult funding climate, the increase demonstrates the strong bipartisan
Three types of Justice and Mental Health Collaboration grants are available through MIOTCRA. Planning grants are available for states and
The following examples from fiscal year 2007 illustrate the wide range of services that may be funded under this flexible federal program.
The law authorizing funding through MIOTCRA is not scheduled to expire until 2009. However, late in 2007, bills to reauthorize and strengthen MIOTCRA were introduced in both the House and Senate. Although the House and Senate bills are somewhat different, both would increase overall funding levels for MIOTCRA. Additionally, both include a new Law Enforcement grant program to fund initiatives such as CIT and other collaborative initiatives between law enforcement and mental health agencies. Finally, both bills would also re-authorize federal funding for Mental Health Courts. NAMI is working to promote this legislation, and we will keep you updated when Congress takes action.
The text of the Senate and House bills to reauthorize MIOTCRA, S. 2304 and HR 3992, can be accessed at the Library of Congress by entering the bill numbers.

Crockpot Split Pea Soup with Chicken Sausage and Carrots
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
2 cups dried green split peas (do not need soaking)
4 links Aidells Roasted Garlic Chicken Sausage (or use other types of sausage)
1 onion, chopped into small pieces (about 1 cup chopped onion)
2-3 carrots, chopped into small pieces (about 1 1/2 cups chopped carrots)
4 cups chicken stock (I use homemade chicken stock, but canned broth or chicken stock from a carton is fine)
2 cups water
1 packet Goya ham-flavored concentrate (optional, but it does add a lot of flavor
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
(I used a 5.5 quart crockpot for this recipe, but a slightly smaller size would be fine.)
Cut sausage lengthwise into fourths, then slice the strips into pieces about 1/2 inch square. Brown the sausage in a non-stick pan, stirring occasionally, until sausage pieces are well-browned on all sides, about ten minutes. (I didn't need to add any oil with the Aidell's sausage. If you use a different brand you might need a bit of olive oil.)
Put browned sausage into crockpot, then brown chopped onions in the fat left in the pan from the sausage, about five minutes. (I drained some of the fat before I added the onions to the pan.)
Add browned onions to crockpot, then add split peas, chopped carrots, chicken stock, water, and ham flavor concentrate (if using.) Cover crockpot and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours. If I'm home I usually stir once or twice, but it's not essential.
When soup is done, check the consistency to see if you want to add more water. (I added about 2/3 cup more water.) Season to taste with salt and fresh ground black pepper, and serve hot. This soup will keep at least a week in the refrigerator, and it also freezes well.
South Beach Suggestions:
Since this soup includes carrots, it would be a phase two option for the South Beach Diet. Using chicken or turkey sausage also helps keep the soup South Beach Diet friendly.

in political/economic context - can elaborate more on analysis in a follow
up to this discussion, but either way comments are very much welcome
The ECB came out today and said that Hungary's early repayment scheme for
its foreign exchange-denominated mortgages will have adverse affects on
both the country's banking system and wider economic stability. This comes
as the Hungarian government has hinted that it will not add any further
measures to the controversial move which has been met with much criticism,
not least of of which from Austrian banks. How this plays out will have
both economic and political implications for Hungary and the wider region.
Root of Hungary's economic problems
* The major problem boils down to this - sharp rise in the Swiss franc
as a result of the European financial crisis (The franc traded for 160
forints before the crisis, it trades at 248 forints as of November 8)
* About 60 percent of outstanding mortgages in Hungary are denominated
in Swiss francs, and Hungarian households' Swiss franc debt amounts to
almost 20 percent of GDP
* Therefore, this has put huge pressure on the country's mortgage
market/banks and wider economy and so the government sought ways to
reduce foreign currency debt exposure of the country
Government moves and intervention
* Sep 19 - The Hungarian govt passed legislation that allows full early
repayment of foreign-currency denominated mortgages at a fixed
exchange rate of 180 forint to the france. The legislative fix
benefits only those bank customers who have taken up their currency
loan at a rate of less than 180 forint to the Swiss franc and less
than 250 forint to the euro. In effect, the government forced the
banks (most Austrian) to swallow the difference.
* Sep 29 - Legistlation goes into effect and through 30 December 2011,
those affected may announce the repayment, which must then be made
within 60 days. If the borrower meets all requirements, banks must
accept the repayment and bear the resulting burden.
* Oct 24 - Orban says that Hungary's government aims to gradually
eliminate all foreign currency mortgages in Hungary, adding that
foreign banks were expected to bring back more funds into the country.
* Oct 26 - Hungary's National Economy Minister Gyo:rgy Matolcsy said a
downgrade by some of the three major credit rating agencies is a "real
threat", adding that asking the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for
a new credit would be a "sign of weakness"
* Oct 28 - Erste Group Bank AG expects to be unprofitable in Hungary in
the "next couple of years" as the country forces lenders into losses
on foreign-currency loans, part of Premier Viktor Orban's fight
against "debt slavery."
* Nov 3 - Hungary's government does not plan to implement new measures
to assist troubled foreign currency borrowers, according to Economy
Minister Gyo:rgy Matolcsy
* Nov 8 - Hungary's financial regulator said 29,000 mortgage holders
repaid their Swiss franc loans at a rate set by the government in a
controversial repayment programme. Almost 175 billion forints (789
million dollars) worth of mainly Swiss franc debt was paid back in
October at a rate of 180 forints to the Swiss franc. If the plan
pushed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban succeeds, as many as 270,000
additional borrowers could join the programme.
* Nov 8 - The European Central Bank (ECB) said the Hungarian
government's early repayment scheme for borrowers with foreign
currency-denominated mortgages can weaken the banking system's
stability and have adverse effects on the economy.
Economic Implications
* Foreign lenders (especially Austrian banks) lost 200 million dollars
as a result of the government's decision.
* This has weakened banks in the country and hurt foreign investment
* There is also the risk that Hungary will lose its investment-grade
credit rating, with the downgrade putting more pressure on foreign
bank lending and Hungary could be forced to turn back to the IMF for
* This also comes as there are fears that major European banks will seek
recapitalization and remove their assets from Central Europe -
something which has already showing ominous signs when Commerzbank
(Germany's leading bank in C/E Europe) announced on Nov 4 that it was
freezing new loans outside Germany and Poland
Political implications
* Hungary is relatively stable politically compared to some of its other
Central European counterparts, with the parliamentary elections last
year giving an unprecedented 2/3 majority for the right-wing Fidesz
party of Viktor Orban along with coalition partner KDNP
* However, since elections last year, Orban's Fidesz-Christian Democrat
alliance has been widely criticized for controversial policies such as
centralized media regulation, a re-write of the Constitution and
judicial reform
* On Oct 23, at least 10,000 Hungarians gathered Sunday in the capital
to demonstrate against the government of conservative Prime Minister
Viktor Orban. The initial impetus for the movement was a protest
against newly enacted media laws that many critics of the government
see as an attempt to stifle the opposition press, but the support base
appears to have broadened, with many representatives of trade unions,
students and other civic groups in attendance.
* So political stability in the country can't be taken for granted

2013 and earlier Cadillac CTS Lease Questions
killermezo Posts: 10yeah im waiting, however i might change my mind to the dodge challenger, i test drove one and the v8 blew my mind... about $200 cheaper than the cts. however im worried about rwd and summer tires. the charger is even a better choice comes with a lot more options than the cts adaptive cruse control, collision warning, heated and cooled cup holders and only 340 a month! i dunno i'm really confused dunno what to choose, thank god i still have some time on my current lease... waiting for the auto show hopefully something catchs my eye. i also noticed that all the cts coups here in michigan esp around Detroit are driven by some old old old people... not sure if i dig that
mrcoupe Posts: 27i wouldnt get real wheel drive ,, its nice to have the stability of all wheel drive esp in the rain or snow,,,i leased a 2007 cts rear wheel drive my wife couldnt get it up the drive way with a dusting of snow,, then in a rainstorm it almost hydroplaned into a guardrail,, when i first leased it i intended to buy it
white diamond with a black interior,,, after the experiance in rain and snow we let it go,,, i now have a srx all wheel it a great car and u can feel it hugging the road,its an option to buy, its the same system as the cts... i saw some picks the new cts i think looks like the gm concept the front like the ciel
the thing is if i dont make a move whats the interest rates in a year -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I can help you mpnx2. Ally's March base lease rate and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are 2.3% and 53%.
When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $2,690 cash incentive that General Motors is currently providing on 36-month leases of it.
I see that you are considering making a $5,000 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who do risk losing part or all of the money that they laid out if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher it's much safer to go with a zero down lease.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
mpnx2 Posts: 3Thanks for the advice Car man. I did stumble upon your advice regarding the downpayment in an article here at Edmunds.com. I am working several dealers for numbers currently. Knowing of the 2690 incentive helps a bunch. Funny I didnt see that incentive listed on the Cadillac website.
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
jdubyamn Posts: 1Hi Car_man, thanks for all your helpful information on here. I'm looking at leasing a 2013 CTS-V Wagon. Looking at the manual transmission, which there aren't many out there so it would probably come from out of state.
I'm wondering what the lease rate and residual would be for 24 month or 36 month, 15k per year. I can put money down, but based on your previous post, it seems like the zero down is the best way to go.
Is there anything timing wise to be aware of? i.e. March, April -
krikiter Posts: 6jdubyamn,
I'm sure Car_man will give you specifics, but as of a few weeks ago it was a 2.3% lease rate and 53% residual for 15k miles at 36 months. Be aware, there is no longer a 2% reduction in residual for manual trans, and that was new as of March, so make sure the dealer is aware (had to remind mine).
I had to do a build order to get the car I wanted, you might want to consider the same. The dealer I used sells a lot of Vs and drop ships them across the county. PM me for details if you're interested. As far as I know, they're still accepting orders for 2013MY.
BTW, I picked up my wagon last week. You will love this car, it's so much fun. -
pinibo Posts: 10Car man, I would appreciate your assistance. Looking at two vehicles. Audi 4 and Cadillac CTS Premium.
In this forum, I will ask only about the Caddy.
I have an MSRP of $50,530 and a price lower than invoice at $46,171.
Dealer IMR Contribution of $248.00 plus LMA Group Contribution of $496.00, plus tags and fees will be paid cash.
Looking for a 24 month lease. 10,000 or 12,000 miles per year. Could you give me a ball park figure of possible monthly payments?
Taxes in Florida of 6.5% (county .5%) would be applied on first $5,000 and 6% would apply on the balance. Should the tax be paid cash or added to the monthly payment?
pinibo -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515You're welcome jdubyamn. There definitely isn't many CTS-V Wagons with manual transmissions out there.
Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon with 15,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 62%.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 2.3% and 53%.
General Motors is currently providing a $2,690 cash incentive on 36-month leases of this vehicle through Ally.
These programs are scheduled to run through April 30th, but it is possible that GM might revise them for April. Feel free to check back later this week and I can let you know if there is any changes.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi pinibo. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2013 Cadillac CTS Sedan that has an MSRP of $50,530 and a selling price of $46,171 through Ally right now for 24-months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $610.
The payment for an otherwise identical lease with 10,000 miles per year would be $589.
Most people roll the sales tax into their payment in states where they are allowed to.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
pinibo Posts: 10Thanks, Car man. I think I'll pass on this dealer.
This is what I was have offered:
Here is the information you requested.
Both are 10,000 mile per year leases.
Both are based with $1891.77 down
24 x $653.44 Plus tax
36 x $582.46 Plus tax
Please let me know which one you would like and what day and time you would like to pick it up. -
legion455 Posts: 6Hi All,...
I need some help, ... (or send me some vasoline for when I go to the Dealer !
Trade-In 2010 CTS Sedan, Red, Performance, Nav, Ultraroof, 18" polished, 33K Miles, excellent condition. I owe Ally 19,888 ... Dealer wants to give me $24,00 trade-in.
Car I want to Lease: CTS Coupe, White, Sunroof, Premium = msrp $50,740
for a purchase dealer said he would discount $2386 to invoice, $2000 rebate from Cadillac)
Would this also apply to a lease? plus what is the lease rate? and residual? and how would I figure out the payment for a 36 mo lease (15,000 per yr)? (I live in Indiana = 7% tax rate)(Dealer in Ky) or what should I be looking for (mindful of) when I go to dealer?
thanks for any help!!!!

legion455 Posts: 6I've been trying to understand all of this ... so far ...
Auto Leasing: Monthly payment is sum of 3 items:
1. Depreciation Payment
2. Finance Charge
3. Taxes
Depreciation payment = [(Net Cap Cost) - (Residual Value)] / Term of lease (months)
Residual value = MSRP x (residual percentage) [In my case: MSRP = $50,740 residual = .56]
Residual Value = $50,740 x .56 = $28,414.40 (cars value at the end of the lease)
Net Cap Cost = [MSRP] - [Down Payment or Trade-in Value] - [Dealer Discounts off of MSRP] - [Manufacturer Rebates] + [other fees]
In my Case: Net Cap Cost = $50,740 [MSRP] - $4111 [trade-in] - $2633 [Dealer Discount] - $2800 [GM Lease Rebate] + $1250 [*1st payment, prep, etc]
* Dealer said even thou I had a trade in, there was a Downpayment of 1st months lease, prep, maybe profit & other fees ,, so I told them to include it in the lease)
Net Cap Cost = $42,446 so ...
1. Depreciation payment = $42,446 [net cap cost] - $28,414.40 [residual] / 36 [3yr lease] = $389.70
2. Monthly Finance Charge = [ $42,446 [Net Cap Cost] + $28,414.40 [Residual Value] ] * .001 [Money Factor [= 2.4% [Lease Rate] / 2400]]
Monthly Finance Charge = $70.86
3. Sales Tax payment = [Depreciation Paymt + Finance Charge * Indiana Tax rate = .07] = $32.24
$389.70 + $70.86 + $32.24 = $492.80, monthly lease payment.
They quoted me $525/mo ... so, ... when I go in tomorrow to pickup car,... I'll have to figure out what the difference is.
Yep, I better take some Vasoline with me ....
Allen -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi mrcoupe. I think that the lease program is about the same in May as it was in April.
Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 65%.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 1.9% and 55%.
General Motors is currently providing a $1,300 cash incentive on 24-month and $2,800 on 36-month leases of this car.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi Allen. The $2,000 dealer cash is not available on leases of this car, but there is an even better $2,800 cash incentive on 36-month leases.
Please see my previous post for the lease information that you're looking for.
There's nothing wrong with trading in your current vehicle when leasing a new one, however you should have the dealer cut you a check for any equity that you have in your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
legion455 Posts: 6Hey there, thanks for the post... you said:
36-month lease are 1.9% and 55%.
But, my dealer told me on the CTS Coupe 2013,... it was 2.4% lease rate and 56%. (ally) (36 months)
How do I find out what's really true? I'm supposed to go back tomorrow afternoon to sign and get the car.
Confused in Louisville .... Allen (and my credit score is almost 800!) -
jd00510 Posts: 11You guys talking about "taking vasoline to the dealer" ... I just have a question.
Why don't you stand up to the dealer, figure out exactly where their numbers are coming from - as in that last case, figure out where that extra $30-40 a mo is coming from and if you don't agree with it, NEGOTIATE. OR WALK! Find another dealer that won't d!ck around. Seriously, it's so sad to see you all talk about things like you're being held hostage by the dealers and seemingly are just spectators in this process.
On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't complain since all you people that overpay allow me to negotiate much better deals.
This discussion has been closed.

Too busy to vote in this year's general election or don't think your vote matters?
Consider the alternative: If you and other busy American small-business owners fail to act to protect our free enterprise system now, what will happen to Main Street in America?
From higher taxes to more government regulation, from unaffordable health insurance to Big Labor threatening to turn your small firm into a union shop, the reasons you can't afford NOT to vote are countless. Your vote and involvement now can help return certainty to crucial small-business issues.
But we've made the process much easier for you. In the coming weeks, NFIB's 2012 Small Business Voter Guide will arrive in your mailbox or, in most states, is already available online. If you don't read anything else about this election, please read this Guide. It is custom tailored to your state and will inform you of important voting dates and deadlines, as well as provides a listing of NFIB's endorsed candidates in your state.
Also featured is a side-by-side comparison of the presidential candidates' positions on issues you have told us are most important to your business: healthcare reform, government regulation, taxes and balancing the budget.
Between now and Election Day, make sure you accomplish Five Big Things that you can do for small business. First, help elect "one of your own." Many of your fellow NFIB members have stepped up to the challenge to make government more small-business friendly. They desperately need your support. You can help by volunteering, contributing to their campaigns, or engaging with them through social media.
Secondly, educate your employees. Research shows that employees trust their employers and want information from you on government and politics. Take the time to talk to them about the issues at stake and encourage them to get involved.
Third, put your customer service skills to work by volunteering in a campaign. Candidates always need willing volunteers to host events, make phone calls, and display signs at their homes or businesses. The Guide can help you learn more about pro-small business candidates in your area.
Fourth, donate to NFIB's Voter Education Efforts. If just 500 members give $25 each, we can make a difference in targeted states by running online advertisements to support pro-small business polices. Visit NFIB.com/give to contribute to one of the most effective grassroots programs in the business community.
Fifth, and most importantly, make sure you vote on or before November 6. In many states, you can do this before Election Day by early or absentee voting. One of the most important decisions you can make is at the ballot box. Remember, pro-small business policies will not come from Washington or your state capital unless people who support these policies are elected.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can affect people who have diabetes. It occurs when there's too much insulin and not enough sugar (glucose) in your blood. Hypoglycemia is defined as blood sugar below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 4 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Several factors can cause hypoglycemia in people with diabetes, including taking too much insulin or other diabetes medications, skipping a meal, or exercising harder than usual.
Pay attention to early warning signs, so you can treat low blood sugar promptly. Treatment involves short-term steps — such as taking glucose tablets — to raise your blood sugar into a normal range.
Left untreated, diabetic hypoglycemia can lead to seizures and loss of consciousness. This is considered a medical emergency. Tell family and friends what symptoms to look for and what to do in case you're not able to treat diabetic hypoglycemia yourself.
Early signs and symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia include:
Diabetic hypoglycemia can also occur while you sleep. Signs and symptoms include:
If early symptoms of diabetic hypoglycemia go untreated, signs and symptoms of severe hypoglycemia can occur. These include:
Take your symptoms seriously. Diabetic hypoglycemia can increase the risk of serious — even deadly — accidents. Identifying and correcting the factors contributing to hypoglycemia, such as medications you take or irregular meal times, can prevent serious complications.
Informing people you trust, such as family, friends and co-workers, about hypoglycemia is important. Their knowledge of what symptoms to look for and what to do in case you're not able to treat hypoglycemia yourself can make a potentially difficult situation easier to manage.
Not everyone has the same symptoms or the same symptoms each time, so it's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and keep track of how you're feeling when you do have low blood sugar. Some people don't experience any early symptoms. This is called hypoglycemia unawareness.
Hypoglycemia can leave you confused or even unconscious, which requires emergency care. Make sure your family, friends and co-workers know what to do.
If you lose consciousness or can't swallow:
If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia several times a week, see your doctor. You may need to change your medication dosage, change the type of medication you take or make other adjustments to your diabetes treatment program.
Hypoglycemia is most common among people who take insulin, but it can also occur if you're taking oral diabetes medications.
Common causes of diabetic hypoglycemia include:
Glucose levels in the blood are controlled through a complex interaction of hormones that vary depending on whether you're fasting or have eaten. Insulin is the hormone responsible for lowering glucose levels when glucose is elevated. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and need insulin to control your blood sugar, taking more insulin than you need can cause your blood sugar level to drop too low and result in hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemia also may result if, after taking your diabetes medication, you eat less than usual or exercise more than you normally do. Your doctor can work with you to prevent this imbalance by finding the dose that fits your regular eating and activity patterns.
If you ignore the symptoms of hypoglycemia too long, you may lose consciousness. That's because your brain needs glucose to function. Recognize the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia early because untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to:
On the other hand, be careful not to overtreat your low blood sugar. If you do, you may cause your blood sugar level to rise too high (hyperglycemia). This, too, can be dangerous and eventually may damage your nerves, blood vessels and various organs.
If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia several times a week, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Together you can determine what factors may be contributing to the hypoglycemia and decide what changes to make to prevent future episodes of low blood sugar.
It's a good idea to prepare for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and to know what to expect from your doctor.
For diabetic hypoglycemia, questions you may want to ask include:
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as:
You can determine if you have low blood sugar by using a blood glucose meter — a small computerized device that measures and displays your blood sugar level. You have hypoglycemia when your blood sugar level drops below 70 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or 4 millimoles per liter (mmol/L).
It's important to record the date, time, test results, medication and dosage, and diet and exercise information each time you test your blood. Also, note any low blood sugar reactions. Your doctor diagnoses hypoglycemia using your records and looks for patterns to see how your medications and lifestyle affect your blood sugar.
If you think that your blood sugar may be dipping too low, check your blood sugar level with a blood glucose meter. Then eat or drink something that's mostly sugar or carbohydrates to raise your blood sugar level quickly. Foods with a lot of fat, such as chocolate, don't work as well. Examples of foods that will raise your blood sugar level quickly include:
If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar but can't check your blood sugar level right away, treat yourself as though you have hypoglycemia. In fact, you might want to carry at least one sugary item with you at all times. It's also a good idea to wear a bracelet that identifies you as someone who has diabetes.
Check your blood sugar level again 15 to 20 minutes later. If it's still too low, eat or drink something sugary. When you feel better, be sure to eat meals and snacks as usual.
Some people may still experience frequent and severe hypoglycemia despite medication adjustments .In these circumstances, your doctor may prescribe glucagon, a hormone that causes blood glucose to rise.
Glucagon is available by prescription only and comes in an emergency syringe kit. It contains one dose that has to be mixed before being injected. Store the glucagon at room temperature and be aware of the expiration date. Because vomiting can occur after an injection, you must be turned on your side to prevent choking if you're unconscious.
In 15 minutes you should be alert and able to swallow. You then need to eat. If you don't respond within 15 minutes, medical assistance should be called immediately.
Following are suggestions that can help prevent diabetic hypoglycemia:

I'd like to see what Tony Davis looks like today, but I haven't seen any photos since he retired.
Tex Anthony is listed as an AIDS casualty but I think it's questionable. No info out there.
I'd like to see what Tony Davis looks like today, but I haven't seen any photos since he retired.
Tex Anthony is listed as an AIDS casualty but I think it's questionable. No info out there.
I wish I knew. He had a tough-but-sweet, coltish charm about him. And that watermelon fucking scene in the barn is just too fucking funny. I wonder why some of the old producers and directors aren't more forthcoming about the classic performers...William Higgins, in particular, really ought to write a book about his life in porn before he dies.
I wonder if anyone know where Sammy Case is?
Does anyone have any information on Ted Cox. He used 2 b 1 of my favorite performers.
He's alive - he doesn't appear on any dead pornstar lists. In 1991, Cox was charged with the murder of Michael Frank. He spent a few years in Rikers prison awaiting trial, but was eventually acquitted and released. Cox returned to performing in porn. His later films showcased his new mania for tattoos. There are unconfirmed rumors buzzing about that he's currently married with kids...that's about it.
The 80s were the golden age of gay porn. My fav actors were (and still are) Mike Henson and Christopher Lance. They've both passed on: Henson from a drug overdose and Chris Lance was murdered by a jealous bf.
Their vids are still readily available and a pleasure to watch, but quality pics of them seem impossible to find - if anyone has any I'd be eternally grateful if they posted some.
I had a huge crush growing up on Brent Cross and Mason Jarr, I never knew if they retired, quit, etc. Anybody have any info?
I will always adore Ion Davidov. Hope he is healthy and happy. Killer smile, too.
Tex Murdoch.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

I would love to know what happened with...
Derek Cameron
Paul Johnson
Scott Randsome
Trent Reed
I had a serious hard-on for him!
Lane Fuller
Dean Coulter and Mike Roberts
Dred Scott - what did ever happened to him???
What ever happen to the uncut Rockland Brothers?
Anybody know what happened to Derek Cruise? He was in a Few Fresh Men, Thrust Fault, Getaway and a few others in the early-mid 90s. He had a beautiful thick cock.
mm I would almost pay cash to find out what happened to Jason Sizemore and D.C. Chandler.. are they retired.. if so, living where and doing what.. most importantly... lol are they single..
John Davenport (also known as "Mike Paget") was an American pornographic actor (porn star) who appeared in 42 gay and bisexual adult films.
Davenports peak in popularity was in the late 1980s and the 1990s. He usually took the role of the "top man", and only bottomed once on film, in Bad Boys Club. Davenport was known for his on-screen orgasms; he had high-volume ejaculations which his penis was able to "shoot" several feet from his body.
It was rumoured that he died in a motorcycle accident in the 1990s, but he is living in Dallas, Texas and is working in the computer industry. It is reported that he is married to a woman and has one child, born around 1995.
"matt ramsey aka peter north was also gay for pay"
I beg to differ. Matt Ramsey/Peter North was/is straight for pay. It's well known that even though he gave up gay porn decades ago for straight porn he lives a completely gay private life and has a long term partner.
I have a name for you... Only the aficionados will know him
Ty Cashe
boy oh boy want a cutie was he
Ty Cache was the kid that was in "Blonds Do It Best" with Leo Ford and Lance. His picture is on the cover (in the insert under the title).
You can find the answer to your question regarding Ty Cashe in an old 2006-2007 JUB thread What happen to these porn stars??l. Look down a few posts to one by John_W. There is a fairly long post about Ty's short film career and a post from someone else that claimed to have a drink with him in 2007. (The 2006 link to the photos in the post is dead.)
Last edited by statsguy; November 24th, 2010 at 09:27 PM. Reason: clarificatinn of thread name
One of the Rockland boys went religious and stepped away from porn, right? What ever happened to the other two? They were a hot trio.
Whatever happened to Drew Andrews? He was always a favorite of mine!
met kris lord when he was doing live shows he was very sweet
Sounds like a fake wiki entry. Vince Rockland was a regular on the Craigs List hooking sites until they were pulled down not too long ago. Jordan Young is a successful casting director (I think he works mostly in the game shows/reality TV world), but does not/will not discuss his porn career and has taken steps to distance himself from it.
Go to a gay bar in Ft. Lauderdale, seriously you will see A LOT of them there. More often then not though many (maybe most) don't want to be found or recognized.
Whatever happened to Billy Brandt and Steve Henson????
Another favorite was Eric Langue.
WHy do so many porn stars get charged with murder?
I sure wish there was somebody on this forum who was involved with the industry... somebody who could maybe get some of these classic stars together for another film. One final going out.
I'd love to see that. I'd pay to see that.
Especially if they could get the Rocklands back together. And Dick Wolf!!
An amazing coincidence, Vince Cobretti, another gay porn actor was also charged with murder. His real name is TED COX. Here's some excerpts from the news wire on the murder.
Woonsocket Call, January 22, 2003
75 Main Street, Woonsocket, RI 02895
Murder case reopened
Russ Olivo, Staff Writer
WOONSOCKET State police have reopened an investigation into the 1999 bludgeoning death of Lincoln radiologist Alfred C. Moon as a result of the arrest of a former gay porn star in connection with a brutal, near-fatal assault on Woonsocket School Committee Chairman Edward O. Boucher, they said. State police Maj. John Leyden said Tuesday that investigators have taken a "renewed interest" in Theodore H. Cox since he was arrested for the Jan. 4 assault on Boucher.
Cox, who appears in a series of still-circulating porn flicks under the name VINCE COBRETTI, had a reputation as a street hustler who swindled older men, according to the owners of several current and former gay bars in Providence and Woonsocket.
Does anybody know what happened to the Israeli hottie Omer? Some reports have it listed he passed away... but nothing main stream.
Where Is Jeremy Tucker???? Does He Have A Facebook Or Somthing
What happened to Dred Scott?
I would also like to see what happened to Tony Davis ....
This is the first I have heard of this. He even refuses to discuss any of his Matt Ramsey roles in interviews.
I have also always wondered whatever happened to Danny Sommers. I always had the hots for him.
What ever happen to likes big cock boys like Kevin Dean and Steve York?
Dean Coulter and Mike Roberts split long ago. There have been recent pics of Coulter on other threads. He has a new partner and lives in Vermont, running some kind of spa.
A lot of them used to end up in Atlanta, working as trainers or whatnot and leaving after a couple years. Lauderdale probably has taken the place of this...Atlanta with a beach. Other guys stay in Weho or SF and blend into regular jobs.
I was obsessed with Tristan Paris when I was a teen, downloading stuff on Limewire hoping that my mom wouldn't catch me at the computer late at night...
Whatever happened to him? He kinda disappeared around 2002-2003.

3 of my favorites from some time ago
Where is Michael Vncenzo today?
He is the cutest and hottest. He used to have his own website.
Someone once said that Hank Hightower had AIDS. Is this true? Whatever happened to him? He was the first bear I saw in porn that turned me on!
found a blog entry about him. Apparently, after years of sobreity, he overdosed on heroin. Some accounts say he did it as a celebration for being sober so long and misjudged the dosage he took while others say his boyfriend came home from work and found him dead with a Bible in his hand. Extremely sad.
I'm with you!!! I remember a str8 film where he was doing a girl up the ass and he was saying to her: "Yeah, baby, i know how good that feels. Yeah I know!!!" or something like that came right there.
Jerry Butler was hot. I would have loved to see him get sucked off by a dude or fuck one. About 15 years ago or so he wrote his life story and he said he couldn't get it up for a guy. He had a guy offer him money to suck him off and he couldn't get hard. In real life Jerry married the little girl who was the daughter in the ADAMS FAMILY tv show. They have since divorced and I hear he is a cab driver in NYC.
[QUOTE=AdmiraalW238;6712699]I would also like to see what happened to Tony Davis ....
This is the first I have heard of this. He even refuses to discuss any of his Matt Ramsey roles in interviews.
Not only that, for the ones he did appear in, he gives the excuse that all the bottoming was done with CGI effects. Nice try there Petey.
John Davenport????
Old thread, I know. But I brought it back to comment on this, Somebody else said it, but there are a couple reasons why you'll probably never see a movie with them doing a final one-time comeback thing.
1. Many of these guys are now dead, especially the ones from the 70s and 80s.
2. Most of the ones who are still around no longer look anything like the way they did back then, and they probably wouldn't want to get naked in front of a camera now. There are a few exceptions, like Kevin Williams. He still looks good and is still in good shape. Sometimes you find a recent pic of a few of the ones who are still around, and after you see the pic you understand right away why a comeback in porn is not something even they would want to do. (Strange, isn't it, that some really good looking dudes age really well and still look good even when they get older, and others begin to fall apart big time by the time they hit their late 20s). Notwithstanding, not all of them who no longer act in porn are completely out of the adult business. Some of them are still actively escorting. I recently saw one 80s porn star on an escort website offering his services for $500 an hour. A bit outrageous, I thought. But he WAS a pretty famous dude back in the day, and I guess he still has fans out there who will pay that much to get fucked by him.
3. Many were never gay to begin with and were only doing porn gay-for-pay as a way to make money when they were young and had the looks and the body to do it. Quite a few of the really popular 'gay' stars back then fall into this category. Some are now married (to women) and have families, have moved on to entirely different careers, and have put the porn thing behind them. Some even deny that they ever did gay porn.
I agree with the post that described the 80s as the Golden Age of gay porn. The stuff they've been making since the late mid to late 90s just doesn't compare. Those guys from the 70s and 80s were awesome. They may not be around anymore but we're still talking about them. So many fake-ass, shaved, makeup-wearing, over-tattooed clones acting in gay porn now. A few years from now no one will remember any of them.
I think we could start a thread with porn stars on the wrong side of the law. I can think of five murderers right off the bat.
