I'm in San Antonio and for the past couple days on the news, they have been showing night time video of that new highway and the huge packs of wild hogs that are crossing it at night! There has already been three accidents. The have a bounty of 2.00 for each hog killed but I see several accidents happening before they can actually gets things under control!

It's nice to see a 'real' car being used for a change rather than the Bugatti Gayron or some other Hyper(moron)car...

Wonder what the fine would of been...

I don't think the bounty would cover the damage of hitting a hog at 85 ! Wow.

What a thrill that must have been.

Hitting a hog at 200+.... that's a lot of bacon.

Is $2 even worth going out and trying to kill a few, heck the box of ammo cost more then that

220 MPH... exactly 180 MPH faster than the typical Cadillac travels.

On a serious note though, that is pretty cool. The CTS-V is one of the few GM cars I'd actually consider buying if I had the cash.

There's a CTS-V in Austin that's dark silver-grey in satin. Looks awesome. License plate says F-117.
