Caddy Track: A Texas Journey In A Cadillac XTS
Caddy Track - Automobile Magazine
At 85 mph, Texas Route 130 has the nation's highest speed limit. We slow down the Cadillac XTS only to meet a new friend.

Isn't this delightful? Under an early morning sky changing from indigo to azure, passing through a landscape with the varied green tones of pastures and woodlands, I'm whooshing across central Texas in a deep vanilla Cadillac XTS while listening via satellite and fourteen-speaker audio to Cher. Yes, I believe! A red-shouldered hawk flaps stiffly but rapidly over the road, flashing a wide white band near the tip of each wing. The tires' sostenuto is muted, so the only sound of driving derives from the torrents of disturbed air passing the side mirrors.
