The Other Showroom: Current / Past Rides (Pt II)

aw man

Sorry Charlie, literally all of the Miatas (and a couple Subarus) I looked at got sold out from under me even after a deal was made.

I did end up having to replace the Pressure Control Solenoid in the Aztek. Wow, what a difference. I really had no idea it was shifting as abnormally as it was. I also had to repair 3 wires that were rubbed bare in the main harness under the airbox (on top of trans). Thing drives perfectly now. Even the woman noticed it, and she's oblivious unless a light comes on the dash.

Buttoned that up on Saturday, then went home and cleaned out the garage. Low and behold, the Camaro fits joy

The exhaust clears the step by 1/4". So, now my garage has my '97 AND the Camaro in it. Yay.

Hey guy's wandered my way back over here to creep on Turtlemans build and see what everyones up to with their rivs! Pretty cool to see some of you are still going at it!! I just picked up a new to me 2011 CTS V, and my buddy made this little meme and Its what made me remember where I came from. I sure miss the cost of the 3800 parts Versus the Cadillac Tax'd parts lol

... Hope everyone is still doin' great

Just a meme man. I know my roots.. Heck I've owned 2 rivieras since I had my modded one I owned for 4.5 years!! cool

But.... This V is just a completely different class of car.. Shit I push a button and the electromagnetic suspension stiffens for sport mode, hit that button again and it softens for touring mode.. It's such a wild car rock

.. Can't wait to get to throwing my parts on this car ride

IM NOT JEALOUS! ..... ...

I don't know what oil leaks you're talking about sir! My Daily E46 Bmw leaks oil like a Biotch! typical Oil filter housing gasket leaking.. waterfalling Oil all over the fucking place... I'm sure you've seen one or two of them razz

Well ok then lol.. pimp

I'm talkin bout the Caddy! For some reason, Cadillac has engineered their vehicles to hold fluids no longer than 30,000 miles. That, and they felt the need to add things like 3 piece oil pans and what-not. LOTS of more spots to leak from.

I'm just bustin ur balls....but those cars certainly aren't cheap to repair. You price out a strut yet?

lol buddy its gotta 6.2Liter supercharged LSA motor... its a LSx chevy series motor cool

not your typical caddy!!! yea the rear struts were replaced when I bought it.. $300 each.. Not my money lol.. they can be found new for $129

LS engines are known for sealing in fluids well. Is Cadillac doing something different? Or are we thinking of the Northstar days?

Cadillac in general. Every single Caddy that comes into the shop is puking something.

Then again, we haven't had a "V" come in for service.

Travis, you ever watch Doug DeMuro vids? That 2nd pic looks like you could be his bro.
