Caddy-lover Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi people were saying how much safer cadillacs have become, while this is true there are still not as solid as the old cadillac tanks. About 2 years ago i was driving my caddy down route 88 going about 65mph, i was with my gf and my 2 friends. I was wearing my seat belt and my gf but my friends in the back were not. I look in my review mirror and i see a semi switching trough the lanes and as we come to a tollway the semi goes in my direction (which i seen) and rear ends me my car started drifiting a lil but it felt like i was pulling te semi behind me lol. so my car could not pull to the right in the shoulder of the road, so i stoped in middle of traffic. I got out of my car and seen if everyone was ok and the only problem was my friends back it hurted him and we all had lil scraps and small brusies. The damage to my car well i cound not see! Because my cars fins were inside the semi's radiator. The bumper was bent and the trunk buckeled half way, but the quarter panels and the fins did not move lol. The offier said he was defintaly going past 55mph, so not bad for a old cars safety eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain circumstances may make an old car appear safer. * 1966 Deville Convertible * 2007 Escalade ESV Black on Black * 1996 Fleetwood Brougham Black on Black V4P -Gone* 1983 Coupe Deville Street/Show Lowrider -Gone* 1970 Calais 4dr Hardtop GONE* 2000 Deville DTS - Silver with Black Leather and SE grille GONE* 1999 Seville STS - Pearl Red GONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
