You mean my wife’s Cadillac? It is Silver just like a million others. As much as I dislike the car, it has its merits. It is loaded with goodies and still looks pretty good. It must be built pretty well because she has been rear-ended in it twice. Once she was sitting at a stoplight and an ice cream truck ran into her. Seriously an ice cream truck. Bashed up the rear bumper and a couple minor things underneath. Then, less than 6 months later a young couple crashed pretty hard into her. It totaled their car – an older Nissan Maxima. It needed a new bumper again but it also banged up the exhaust and the rear axle. It was a pretty hefty bill for their insurance company. She and my stepdaughter were not hurt in the crash. I hate the engine. It has the 3.6 DOHC that has serious timing chain issues. We got GM to repair it once, but I don’t know if the gears/chain/tensioner have been updated to fix the flaw. Other than the timing chain, it has been fairly reliable. It has over 125,000 miles.
