What was the best thing you ever heard anyone say aobut your Caddy? And who said it?

I have two.

Everyone always says, "God damn thats a big sun roof."

My favorite though my Bro's ex said. "Jay, I like your car, it the Cadillac Etcetera."

95 SLS

"Looks good from any angle. Damn sure a good lookin car."

My wife when I brought it home.

hmmm, all the various comments form people when they ask what kind of car I have, and I tell them my car, "DAMN! you drive a Caddy!?" "how did you afford that?" then there is the "that's an old mans car"

And I havn't even drove it out of my driveway yet......

There's been a lot of comments over the years, mostly good. Guys at shows usually go nuts, guys at the track are usually STUNNED, and a few guys have offered to buy it.
The ones I really like are the comments like "That's the most gorgeous(or hottest) Cadillac I've ever seen".
But my favorite was from a guy in Canada that wrote me a long letter telling me how he was soon to celebrate his 60th birthday and that he was a successful guy that just never TOTALLY splurged on a car for himself. From the list of cars he said he had owned over his life, I found that hard to believe since most were very nice cars. But anyway, the guy was writing me to ask to buy my car because he wanted to finally buy himself that one great car before he was too old to enjoy it. Talk about the ultimate compliment.
While I was genuinely touched, I had to inform him that it was NOT FOR SALE. He pressed me and I finally told him that he would never want to pay what I would want since the car meant so much to me, and that the car is not worth that much more than a standard '95 Fleetwood. Unfortunately, his next statement was not what I was prepared to hear. He simply said, "name your price". I DID think about it for a day or so but finally told him that I just couldn't sell it. I'm sure I'll live to regret that but for now...........

Bah. All I get is "Damn young punk! What the hell are you doing driving a Cadillac?" or "Get your own vehicle!" - my response is "I already have!"

lol ppl need to try giving a little respect to teenagers. Ya need to give respect to get it.

Some people just get jealous...don't sweat it! :p

i get that too from "older" people about being young and driving a cadillac, i get it from people my age too though. I think my best was my friend in hes 94 probe GT saying, "man i didnt think you would beat me"

Ive gotten comments anything from......

What year is that?? A 2000?

You shouldnt be driving a brand new mercedes benz (or fill in BMW or lexus).....

DAAANG, that is so cool........

What are you doing driving a big boat like that

Infiniti, Ive never heard of that

And one day, I drove the fleetwood to school, and this is the reaction I got....

OH MY GOD!!! That is so perfect..... The gold wreaths around the door locks, mirrors in the back, at least a 5 body trunk....... Cadillac wreaths in the seats...... You could have a party in the back seat!!!

Its incredible..... Absolutely perfect....

i was going to start a thread about "most common things people say about your car" and a search turned up this. :)

from men, while driving, i usually get the "far lean and hand signal", a thumbs up or mouthed "nice car".

women will look and smile, which is better than looking and looking away :)

when im parked people come up to chat, the most memorable was an older (60's?) guy who had a 50's caddy and told me it would bring years of enjoyment to my life.

another story was a woman telling about her highschool days with her dad's caddy and fitting 17 people in it one night.

I get alot of things said to me being as here in the UK they are rare.
About the ESV:
"wow, i thought it was coolio pulling up"
"thats a beautiful car, what fuel milage do you get?"
"wow, its so long. Where do you park it?"

About the Deville:
"you have a limo?!?!?"
"wow this thing floats"
"its a cadillac? where can i get one?"
"this has the coolest name"

About the Seville:
"thats a nice looking car, but i bet its slow"
"okay, it isnt slow"
"it has a V8? -wow"
"how much does it cost you to buy a V8 Cadillac?"

I don't have a Cadillac, so here's other cars:

The Infiniti Q45:
"I like the gold clock. Its looks nice."
"Uh oh, I better put my seatbelt on."
"Your car is so much fun to toss around."
"We smoked him!"
"Riding around in this thing makes me feel like a celebrity."

The Mazda 626:
"Can I do the shifting? Please?"
"So it seems like you like nice things." (Says the person who owns a smelly minivan full of garbage and dog food.)
"Uhh, its okay I guess."

The Mazda 929:
"There's no such thing as a 929. Do you mean 626?"
"Oh wow, this drives really smooth."
"Wow, this is a really nice car. What did you say it was?"
"Why do I keep hearing wind? I'm sure I shut my door all the way."
"I'm sick of cleaning my driveway. I want you to park in the street from now on."

The Ford Explorer:
"Dude, this thing is a piece of sh!t."

comfy back seat....hehe

Mostly I hear this comment in irritated tones, "Huh! Not everyone can afford expensive vehicles like that. Lucky girl." from folks who drive pick-up trucks which cost two or perhaps three times as much as my Catera. *shakes head in wonderment*

But I also get a few, "Kinda sporty... for Sarah." And a favorite was, "Can't believe that's yours. A Caddy is just too pretentious for you."

Ah well. ;)

The best was from my Dad, though. He says, "Just like your mother!"

"That thing is Badass!"

"I didn't know Caddy's could make that kind of noise..." (reffering to my Corsa exhaust)

"This thing is pimpin'..."

Just an example of what I hear everyday at school...hehe

Just this last weekend...

"Man, never knew Caddy made 'em that big" (2000 Escalade)

2003 Cadillac Escalade

"Man I like this big thing. It can really move. And it's quiet too."

That compliment had it all: 1)big 2)fast 3)quiet. :D

I was driving down a crowded street downtown where I live. A Deville DTS was rolling right next to me at this time. When he pulled his car next to my '91 Seville, he said "man, that thing is in mint condition." That was before the car was wrecked. She'll be back in mint condition one day...

Other things I've heard (after mods):

"That thing's a beast!" After rolling on a '96 Mustang GT.

"You don't wunt nun of dis!" After Caddy-slapping a Honda Civic by several cars to 40 mph.

"That's the quickest Seville I've ever seen." After getting my ass handed to me by a 2003 BMW M3. It was a decent race though.

Hmm. I've gotten:

"A DIESEL Cadillac?!"

"I can't believe that thing still runs!" (from the service manager at Parker Cadillac, he hadn't seen one running like mine in over 15 years)

"Damn Ben, You got a pimpmobile!"

"Wow, you got COUCH leather seats?!"

"You even got a CB Radio in that thing? Factory Installed? What?!"

The list goes on and on:rolleyes:

The best thing ever said to me about my Cadillac(s) was/were:

One night I let my buddy drive my 93 Deville out to go to the club. Well at 2am or shortly after closing, he walks outside with my cousin and another pal and low and behold there are 4 beautiful woman standing by my car asking who car is this? This is a beautiful car. (93 deville with vogues and wires,simulated convertible top, chrome blinding from all over, pinkish in color with the top,interior to match.)

When I bought my first "Lac" 93 ETC: Wow this car is fast!(from wife as I hit the I-75 freeway home from the dealer at 95mph)

"How much for the car?"

(after we blindsided a nissan sentra) "What is that, a Catera? *guy writing insurance info exchange* Its a nice car"

"Oh I was just admiring your car, we have a Catera too" - Wasnt really a complement but you know...


Well ive run out... lol.

in the Deville: "damn, that thing is nice man! those Devilles are pimp."

my old Fleetwood: "Holy S*** that thing is awesome, nicest car i have ever seen in my life. where'd you get that? never seen anything like it. this is the coolest car ever." girls were always hollering at me in it. "let me ride" (if you never listened to Dr. Dre you wouldnt get that).

the CTS: "Damn, you are 20 and you gotta a new Cadillac, what are you doing tonight? that is a nice ride man."

i used to get a lot of comments in the Fleetwood, wish i still had her :(.

"Boy this is when they really knew how to build cars!" <---uncle

"What is this? It's absolutely gorgeous!" <--- mostly women

"Dude, those fins are f***ing awesome!" <--- BMW obsessed friend

and the best one

"That is the most beautiful car I have ever seen in my life! <----thoughtful old gentleman at the bank


Always nice to hear people say you don't drive a piece of sh*t!

Brian

The best thing anyone said about my Caddy was (and I defy anyone to best it!) ;

"Here are the keys, she's all yours." :yup:

"How much for the car?"

I lived next to some guy that always asked me if I was going to sell my Seville everytime I washed her...What a dumbass...

LOL

"Now I know what I want for Christmas, gosh life is not fair."
"You drive a Cadillac"

While in traffic..." you sellin'?"

"I'm coming home with you, white boy!"

After I cut box Caprice off by a foot "eh man you cut me off...but its real clean though"

I like your last one!

I like your last one!

The guy had a crazy messedup fro that almost touched the headliner, and he looked like a hype, but still knew a car when he saw one!

"I'm coming home with you, white boy!"

LMFAO!!!! :coolgleam

LMFAO!!!! :coolgleam

I cut the sleezy car salesman hair off my head to get my near bald headed fade back so the past week its been....

While riding either car..."it's Paul Wall!"

I've had to attempt to master his trademark lines to have the easiest convo starter ever!

"Whut it do!" "It's Pauul Waall baby!"

http://www.worldboundmusic.com/with-wall.jpg I'll get an updated pic of the new head soon enough to compare this pic to...I still deny the resemblance!

I was at a gas station one day, years ago, when a guy driving a mid '90's Continental said to me; "Damn, I wish I'd bought a Seville!":coolgleam

"Beautiful"
"Its a 94 ?"
"It has 140,000 miles?"
"I hope you never sell it"

But the best one was today ....

"We will take those 6 door dings out for free"

i cant wait till next tuesday !!! she will be perfect on the outside ....

Im having the curb rash on the wheels taken care of in 2 weeks (in case your watching turbo jimmy)

"You crawling low to the earth, similar to an ant."

Now that you got the line down. You gotta go down to H-Town and get $30k in your grill.

-"Wanna trade?" - Guy with a Honda Element
-"Wanna trade?" - Guy with a Lincoln Mk VIII
-"Wow you must rub the paint off that thing" - Guy with a green 95 Eldo liking a fresh wash & wax on a Black car
-"I want to $%^& you in that car" - self explanitory
-"Damn and I thought Cadillacs were Grandpa cars" - Younger Cousin
-"You took off man, I looked up and I was doing 100 and you were gone" - Best Friend
-I can't really post what some patrons of a few clubs in ATL have said but suffice it to say I was highly amused
-Numerous thumbs up

Well luckily, for being so young, no has questioned whether the CTS is mine or not, they may be thinking it, but no one has asked me. I normally get the oh so popular "DAAAAYYYUUUM!!!!!!" or "Damn, where do you work at?" I get a lot of guys asking for my number, especially at gas stations. The people at my work call it a "gas guzzler" which it kinda is. We are part of the union so they give me crap about it. The funniest/best thing anyone said was "Damn, you need to be handing out toilet paper cuz you sh*ttin on fools" kinda of an interesting comment but you know. This car sure gets a LOT of attention!

The funniest thing that ever happened to me when I was driving a Caddy:

1983, I'm in a bad section of downtown Memphis at about midnight. I pull up next to a convenience store to make a phone call, and while I'm in the phone booth a "street walker" in her 50's parks her ass on the hood of my CDV.

When I finished my phone call and walked up to my car, she propositioned me. She said "I wanna ride wit YOU!"

I had to be polite. Her pimp was parked across the street.

How I got in that situation and why I was making a phone call is another story for another time. I'm still not sure if the hooker was all-female or not. I didn't stick around long enough to find out.

that one IS interesting Elvis....... haha :histeric:

Bah. All I get is "Damn young punk! What the hell are you doing driving a Cadillac?" or "Get your own vehicle!" - my response is "I already have!"

lol ppl need to try giving a little respect to teenagers. Ya need to give respect to get it. YEAH!!! same here, I'm tired of gettin that look and what the heck is this "KID" drivin a Cadillac for..........Wel, Cowboys and Cadillacs do mix! I'm here to tell ya, I have beaten many imports in my STOCK cadillac, I love it, most girls just show me there boobs cuz I have a sticker that says "SHOW ME YOUR!!!!" and the letters are inside the boobs, and cuz I have PLAYBOY RACING decals too, and a lot of JOHN DEERE and camo decals, and confederate flags, whats with the cowboy and his cadillac, mess with it and find out, best comment, "Can I ride in the PIMPillac?" some realy hot chick in a Camaro.....
