I went and did it... I joined the "other" side.

Well the tranny in the Mark finally went out, and not having the time or $$ to fix it right anytime soon, I parked her, and went looking for a cheap beater to get to and from work. Lo and behold, a buddy of mine at work, strapped for cash sold me a Cadillac. Its a 1985 Sedan DeVille, HT4100 engine, 198,000 miles. Runs just like a new one, and its in cleaner condition bodywise than the Mark. NO rust, and semi-glossy paint, until I buff it ;). Interior is almost perfect aside from the headliner, and the cloth :B seats. For $400 its more that a bargain. So far I have put about $100 in it in hoses, fluids, etc... I like the ride a LOT more than the Mark's, because its sooo much softer, but I cant stand the boaty steering, but cant complain. Hope to have pics by the end of the week.

A Cadillac is a good car. Congratulations.

Well, its only temporary, but it moves in gears besides Reverse, and the price was right!!! I have had people at gas stations offer me upwards of $1500 for it, so I will turn a profit from it. I agree its ugly, I'd rather have a mid 90's fleetwood or STS/SLS Seville, but this will do for now. I hope to have one of these in the driveway by the end of the summer, with the cummins turbo, and of course a stick.

Well, like I always said...you aint old, until you drive an old Caddy.

Atleast you will learn to appreciate the Mark VIII when its all said and done.

BTW, you cant tell me you couldnt fix your Mark VIII's tranny for less than the price of a used Caddy.

Go big...1998+ tranny, all the killer JMOD stuff, Marauder/Mach 1 TC, and enjoy the "new" technology...


Then, sell that blue-hair's car!

EDIT: just saw... $400??? thats fine...eben I would drive a $400 caddy...
