Like most of the time after work no matter what route I take home there is some freakin’ roadblock. These are random areas and the places that typically have a roadblock still have one.
Today I was following a peanut sized import and came across another roadblock on our lane. The driver pulled to the oncoming lane and dodged the roadblock setup. I stopped. Thought about it and said “fuck it” and off I went.
Caddy 99′ cruising through jet ski style! I’m glad I have the stock tire setup, not dropped low. At least not for now…
We had a slight break in the weather and it looks like rain again for another 5 days or so. I’ll be working on the Cadillacs CV half shaft driver side once the weather clears up. This will more than likely be a weekend job.
You can see from the photo the grease has squirted out of the CV bearing rubber boot. More than likely there is a tear or pin hole on the other side.
I have to say the size of the 1999 Cadillac Deville trunk seems to be on par with the size of my former Cadillac the Fleetwood Brougham De Elegance package. The trunk space is massive! I did a look over this afternoon and clean up. It has a nice spare tire and jack and the tire jack iron. If I ever get a flat I definitely would prefer a star lug nut tool.
You can tell by the side moldings the weather strip is doing the job. After all these years no rust or evidence of standing water. The trunk space is so deep it falls into a shade.
I got off of work and couldn’t get Caddy 99’s stock remote to disarm. After fidgeting around with for awhile I got it to disarm after the damn thing set off and started honking. Took it apart when I got home and it was the battery holder piece not soldered down securely. Easy fix for me.
Here we go again! I traded my Mercedes Benz SLK230 for a 1999 Cadillac Deville. The car is in excellent shape with very few cosmetic issues. There are a few items that require attention but nothing to stop me from using it as a primary four wheel commuter.
