Caddy 99′ Remote…

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. 

Caddy 99′

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.

Turlock Winter Swapmeet…

Took an early morning drive to check out for the first time the Turlock car swap meet. This event caught me by surprise the sheer size of the sellers and the amount of folks attending. The location is at the Turlock County Fairgroumds located at 900 N Broadway, Turlock, CA 95380. 

The cars for sell section was like a car show in itself. There were cars reasonable priced and not the over inflated pricing you going on Craigslist all the time. I can’t imagine how the vendors actually are able to get their stuff out once they’re done for the day. 

Had to take a photo of this cars bumper. He had welded an adjustable wrench onto the grill. Very cool and unique. It blended in nicely with the whole vibe of the car. 

You could tell the seasoned pros with there wagons in pull. The good ones were the high capacity models with the larger rubber wheels. 

SLK 230 Woes…

It was a nice day today not too cold and plenty of sun. I though I’d take the top down. Coming off wasn’t a problem but getting it to come back on was! I ended up having to manually placing the top on and securing it using the provided tool in circumstances just like this. I’m guessing this is not a uncommon problem.
