apache13 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Is it just me that my Cadillac fits nicely into a linear progressive line of growing vehicles? Has each vehicle you've ever owned out-sized the previous one? 1rst car -1989 Cavalier Z24 2nd car -1999 Dodge Avenger ES 3rd car -2000 Grand Prix GTP [R.I.P. thanks to a 16 yr old texting while slamming his hooptie into me at 20 MPH] Current- 1997 Cadillac Eldorado ETC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marika Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Triumph TR6 (don't recall the year, car was a piece of crap anyway) 1965 Rambler Ambassador 990 - 4 door, hard top sedarn (larger than a Lincoln from the same year) (I even remember the serial number of the car, H311949) 1966 Chevelle Malibu 4 door sedan (Smaller than the Rambler but definitely more reliable) 1983 Chevrolet Celebrity 4 door sedan (Felt cramped inside but I actually miss that car) 1992 Cadillac Seville (feels smaller inside than the 83 Chevy, much less leg room. Has thus far been the least reliable of all the cars I've owned) Hopefully next car I'll own: 20?? BMW MINI Cooper. Someday :lol: If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans.

Cadillac Jim Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 My largest car is either a 1969 Chevrolet 9-passenger station wagon with 427 cid 400 hp engine, or a 1973 Caprice Estate 9-passenger with 454 cid. The 1973 model got half the gas mileage and had half the horsepower of the 1969 model, which I got after the 1973 model. Normally I try to keep under 4000 pounds because handling is the most important attribute of a daily driver to me. My current ETC is 3800 pounds curb weight. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

BodybyFisher Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I have pretty much been a big car guy my whole life having had a 66 and 68 caddy conv in college, with the exception of a 1991 Nissan 240SX that was a mistake.

Ranger Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Mine have always been big full sized cars, but they are shrinking some. This '03 is small compared to the early 70's Caddies I had with hoods like the deck of an aircraft carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DTS_ Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 First car was a 1976 camaro. Then I had a few chevy pickups, and then an Eldorado. I traded that for a 1965 Mercury Monterey and that thing was a boat! The back window rolled down too, lol. Then I bought a chevy blazer but I am sticking with cadillacs from here on out.
