Whatever you're used to Ian. Any name calling is pretty sophomoric. Most
of us just yak about Corvettes, and I guess occasionally get under someone's
saddle with something about a Cadillac, which I think is what upset you.
People come an go, but yes, this is a pretty civil group. Hope you enjoy it
since it is usually much different than many others.

I didn't respond with the "yutz" comment, was more just responding
to your response. Usually, the only thing that gets my goat is the
enormous number of people that imagine far more items on their
cars ought to be repaired for free.

I'm only here because of the cross posts. Guess I'll trim out the
Corvette group. Nice cars, but I have to work on the things during
the day, so it's just another car to me. Though I did just take an
06 ragtop out for a spin yesterday.....I really...really...like the new
Corvettes. They look better, drive better, feel better....and did I
mention they look better? Unfortunately, GM has managed to
make them even more difficult to work on. We have one (06) in
the shop getting something done to the left fuel tank sending unit.
The whole rear drivetrain has to come out, just to get the fuel
tank in and out. Oh well, winter is coming and we usually don't
see the Corvettes until spring and summer.

Strange, how many 06 Corvettes does your dealer have? I didn't think they
were on the road yet????

Good practice here is: Never tell anyone where you keep your goat!

I know the comment wasn't your's, Ian. Sorry to see you go, if you do.

I wouldn't worry, I was never really "here" anyway.

Of course it is Luke..
I was the Assistant Service Manager for Mitchell Motors Cadlliac for a
few years,
and if I heard that from one of my Service Writers, he would of gotten
reprimanded.
In my experience Cadlliac owners in general are very loyal to their
Dealerships for the
desirable Customer Pay jobs if the warranty work period was satisfactory...

Now I don't know about the new customer base sport sedan owners and Lux
SUV's.
But the Joe that owned a Coupe/Sedan DeVille, Eldorado was very very loyal
if they got treated right under the warranty period.
