I bought this car as a birthday present for myself for my 40th birthday, and it's been a lot of fun to own and drive. Cadillac made only 3,300 of these cars in conjunction with ASC, a convertible top manufacturer, and only a fraction of those cars survive today. The shape of these cars is gorgeous, they age well, and according to Wikipedia: “the convertible models are now highly sought after by numerous collectors.” This model was very expensive when first offered, about triple the cost of a new Fleetwood! It became an iconic car; I first saw it in the movie Pretty In Pink and decided I must have one! I bought the car partly because the value holds over time unlike many other classics. I put the car in storage in 2008 after buying a Rolls Royce. The year before I put it in storage, I installed a new convertible top (cost $3,000) and painted it. The body is straight, and most systems work fine. It is a California car with no rust. It has many options like leather interior, leather wheel, power driver seat, digital displays, CD changer in trunk. The leather is good because I treat it regularly with a leather conditioner, and I replaced the front seat bottom panels with durable exterior vinyl. The engine is strong: on a compression test done on 8/21/2013 the psi values were as follows: Cylinder 1: 110 psi. 2: 130. 3: 120. 4: 130. 5: 130. 6: 100. 7: 110. 8: 110. It recently passed California’s rigorous smog test. I have the original tonneau cover (shown in photos) and a custom storage bag. Also a custom car cover for the rare occasions it's out of the garage. The car has some minor mechanical issues, as follows: The climate control unit is bad (I have a used replacement, plus a trunk full of miscellaneous parts). The odometer stopped working in 2007. It shows 92,000 but the true mileage is about 5,000 more. One of the back windows rolls up slowly, and the torque converter rattles for a few seconds when the car is first started up. I’ve really enjoyed the car but with 6 other cars to care for I just can’t do justice to this beautiful machine any more, and I need the garage space. My custom plate does not come with the car.

Canada opens probe into 250,000 GM pickups, SUVs over brake performance

Sun, Jun 23 2019

Transport Canada, the auto safety regulator, has opened a probe into braking issues in nearly 250,000 General Motors full-size pickups and SUVs after U.S. officials launched a similar probe last year, the agency said on its website. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in November into 2.73 million U.S. 2014-2016 model year SUVs and pickups after receiving 487 reports of hard brake pedal effort accompanied by extended stopping distance that were attributed to deterioration of the engine-driven brake assist vacuum pump. Transport Canada's probe covers 249,700 2015 through 2017 model year vehicles including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon as well as 2014-2017 Chevrolet Silverado LD and GMC Sierra LD vehicles. The U.S. agency said it had reports of nine incidents of vehicles incurring damage as a result of colliding with another vehicle or fixed object at low speeds and reports of two injuries. NHTSA said if the pump fails to operate, the amount of brake power assist can be significantly reduced, extending vehicle stopping distance. The NHTSA sent GM an information request in a Feb. 7 letter. A GM spokesman said he had no update on the investigation. Reporting by David Shepardson; editing by Jonathan Oatis

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
