2002caddysts Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 My friends and I have noticed that when we go out in the lac at night it almost puts us to sleep... I mean it is so quiet and smooth and isolated from noise.... My passengers almost always fall asleep and i have come close.. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper60103 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have noticed that when I drive my minivan, it feels like a truck in comparison to the Deville. Enjoy the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I am sure its due to the leather seats and comfort.

navion Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I agree that our Caddies ride smooth. But reading your post made the aircraft mechanic part of me sit up & take notice. If you are becoming excessively sleepy while driving your Caddy, it could be more than just a quiet ride causing it. Carbon monoxide poisoning could be the cause. A small exhaust leak into the car's passenger space will cause drowsiness. Allowed to continue, you could pass out from oxygen starvation. Now, the likelyhood of this happening to your Caddy is slim, but it is worth checking out. An inexpensive Carbon monoxide detector is available from several sources. One of these is Sporty's Pilot Shop. (www.sportys.com) It is a little card that has a spot that will change color in the presence of CO. Or if you have an electronic CO detector in your home, you could carry that in the car, just to see if the alarm will go off. If you have ANY doubt, get the exhaust system checked.

joeb Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 you need more exciting friends. i never get bored driving my car. in fact i have to watch it since i tend to drive too fast. my drive to work is only 7 miles and its split 50/50 side roads and highway so i like to drive fast. on ramps and cloverleafs are fun.

WarrenJ Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Occasionally I'll have a day at work that leaves me with a lower back pain. Five minutes after I'm in that great car seat all the pain is gone. Mind you I'm not ready to fall asleep, but the comfort is grandly appreciated. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodybyFisher Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 That would be a funny commercial for Monster Energy drinks.... Having to pass them out once you get in the caddy to stay awake.. LIL... Definitely check Britt's suggestion, when I was a kid, it was something that often came up, kudos to Britt for being so tuned in. Muffler systems were often compromised on cars when I was young, and it was an issue. That is what is so great about this board and this type of 'brainstorming', you can get so much thought provoking information based on others experience. On the other hand you can get MY post, regarding the stereo and energy drinks because I was SO FAR off base, Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
