There is an old adage saying there are two things you should never watch getting made: laws and sausages. Thankfully, watching car magazines get made is pretty bad ass.

First up: the IROC Motoring Entertainment Group where RIDES shot the Cadillac CTS featured in the issue. Fun fact: although not featured in the book, that pretty little yellow ‘Maro was responsible for the rolling shots of the Liberty Walk Lamborghinis later on the trip. (Which you will see more of in a few days…)
