I have a very well known racing shop here in OKC do all my C5 work. The owner there is restoring/customizing a 1959 2dr HT Cadillac. A few weeks back, the car wouldn't start. As good as they were at building and tuning these cars, they didn't know where to turn. I went over and got the points reset and had the car running in less than 5 minutes. Totally different animals! Welcome to the C5 side. It's a fun car and you've made a sound choice!
To your point Sir, I'm 66 and grew up (very luckily) in the So Cal car culture of the 60's which was a blast! We all did all our own work and back then I wasn't a bad guy with a wrench. Well, alas, those days are gone and I'll be the first to admit that I'm totally lost when dealing with computer controlled, module activated, sensor guided, well, you get the idea! Today, I'm relegated to simply being an enthusiast owner/driver. Come to think of it, not a bad position to be in! I'll pay the money out to others for the choring. I get the car back and get to do all the fun stuff! I'm lovin it!! Best wishes to all!

Hello, love the color of your new baby, good luck with her! You will find this forum an incredible resource. Lots of incredibly talented and knowledgeable folks (not talking about me!) who are willing to give of that knowledge just for the asking, You also might get some friendly and good natured sniping on occasion. All in good fun! Shoot, almost forgot to ask, you do own body armor, don't you? Best wishes!

I have been looking for some time now since I sold my wife's 82 CE.
I will be asking some questions from time to time.
The ABS and Traction light is on and reading old posts I will try the grounds first.

Hello, Mike P previously a resident of Morristown. Had a very good friend that lived in the big victorian mansion that sat in the fork in the road, actually an island, right by the Governor Morris Hotel. Close to your residence I guess. Your new DRL's look great, a really nice addition. Best wishes to you and family!
