"G" man is the go to guy..........

Yeah, I'll ask him when he gets on...

I can find a console mounted shifter for this caddy everywhere....Nobody is showing the steering column mounted shifter anywhere...

I took it apart, there are 3 ears that screw the shifter to the steering wheel column, he broke 2 of them completely off....

I just wonder what else under there got ****ed up. It hit the asphalt hard and plowed dirt. Guess I'll now tomorrow.

I suppose there isn't a way to fix those.

 

[db1959]

and the AC in the house decided to say **** you too. It's only 89 in here.

 

[db1959]

good thing is it only cost $80 to tow the car back home....a half mile away.

It's just pot iron....I don't think you could weld them...

 

[chocktaw2]

I agree.

Every ****ing stud sheared off. The tire went 60 feet into the woods. When I got the tire the dust cover was still on and the studs/nuts where still sitting in the holes. (that sounds kind of dirty). 2 of the studs apparently were sheared some time ago. The other 3 decided to give it up as I went around a curve.

Ouch, glad your ok, and didn't hit anybody else.

That's kinda what I'm thinking, might have to call salvage yards tomorrow...

 

[chocktaw2]

Perhaps you should check your nuts more often.

Me to. I usually take that curve on the inside. This time I was in the correct lane. If I had been in the inside lane I would have blocked the road. Not good on a curve.

couldn't leave it sit. He was there in 10 minutes. Liked the response time.

don't I know it. Years ago I bought a car that was 2 years old and had 18000 on it. It was still under factory warranty. That was the closest I got to a new car. When it hit 30k I had all kinds of problems with it.

Last time that tire was off was early spring. Nuts weren't loose. I know what that feels like. The car handled nice until the wheel came off. Then, for some reason, it wouldn't turn or go forward anymore.

I guess that's a good thing. Still $80 though. I believe they get so much just to hook up.

Tell me what loose nuts feels like, so I can be on the lookout for such nuts!

And I wonder why it wouldn't move.

He used a roll off. He did a good job of not ****ing anything else up. First Tow I called wanted 135 and they'd get there sometime in the afternoon.

 

[chocktaw2]

Squirrels on the loose! Everybody check your nuts!

Wow! I'm in the wrong business.
