unknown_eyes Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Due to my financial situation I recently had to sell the Dodge Ram pickup I purchased new last year. And I found myself in the market for a used car. I searched the local used lots and found plenty of bland, uninspiring, econo-boxes. At one lot in particular, there was an older Cadillac off to the side I glanced at several times while walking around the lot in search of basic transportation. Something about that car kept catching my eye, so I walked over to take a closer look. It was several years older and had a few more miles on it, but it was cheaper than the crackerboxes I had been looking at. I figured the gas mileage couldn't be that bad, so I took it for a test drive and instantly fell in love. Needless to say, the "ole silver devil" found its way into my driveway and my heart. At first I felt like I was "stepping down" from a 2008 to a 2001. But, I can honestly say I like this car better than any previous new or used car I have had in the past. And I sure am glad I didn't settle for one of the little crackerboxes! I find myself taking great pride in owning and driving my 1st Cadillac, even if it is 8 years old! There's something about a Cadillac! 2001 Deville, Sterling Silver exterior with Dark Gray leather, 93k miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Jim Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yep...you are right..there is just SOMETHING ABOUT a Cadillac. Most of us, if not ALL of us, on this forum, like and enjoy our Cadillac automobiles. (at least I know that "I" do) We care about them more and maintain them better, than just the average driver does. I have driven mostly Cadillacs for almost 25 years. There have been a few other oddballs every once in a while...but I always go back to Cadillac. They can't be beat. In my NOT so humble opinion.

Ranger Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I could not agree more with Tex. The only difference for me is that in the last 35 years I have driven NOTHING else. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
