I've been away for a while and logged in today to find all kinds of threads about cars getting damaged. Its really strange!

Hi folks! How's everyone been doing?

PS My Caddy is still messed up, I've cobbled it back together with duct tape and zip ties for now. Ordered all parts off of ebay and will probably have it back together in a few weeks.

No insurance pay out.
Lawsuit papers filed.

Yeah, it's spreading like the plague. My caddy is in the garage and its STAYING there for the rest of tonight. With this crazy Chicago weather, we're under tornado watch and winter weather advisory :thepan:

I was wondering where the hell you were! Welcome back :D Yeah we are having all sorts of caddy problems. We all decided to just stop driving. LOL

Yeah where have you been? It's been quite a while since you've been on here!

Yeah, its been a bad month for CF. I think I started this "trend" last december. :(

;-)

I missed this place, but its been nuts.
I moved but been so busy I have no cable or internet yet.
New job (same company but consulting for a defcon) in a classified bldg that has not internet....so I've been kinda lonely.

Quite a while indeed.

At least a month (the most I've been away from this place)....my last post was probably around Jan 9-13 or something, right after my car got hit and run.

Now I'm in LA!

We got about a foot of snow. I just decided to rent an SUV until it blows over.

Well, since you were gone, heres a quick recap:

Yup, thats pretty much the headline story at CF now.

The story of my mishap. (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-forums-lounge/64006-do-you-have-6th-sense.html) Did I start something? :hide:

DANG! Nightwolf. It hurts me to look at. Again, sorry for your great loss. I hope you find something even better soon.

I still dont see how thats physically possible to do that to that car.

But ot be fair, my damage isn't that bad...

I ordered a bunch of parts off of ebay and I wil get on the repair soon!

Lets find out who had the first accident of the winter!

Mine was December 14, 2005.

Oh yeah, you skid out in the snow and patched it back up with your uncle right? You got me beat by 3 weeks. I'm guessing the cars driving fine right? (Saw the repaired pics, looked decently street legal)
Hope to make similar repairs here.

We just got a windsheild crack two weeks ago on the Vectra.

All got fixed on Saturday. New screen.

Nice looking dog there!

She's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross. I took three pictures of the car that day and she was on all of them, because it wasnt in the driveway, she was looking after it!

I wish she wouldnt..... if it got stolen we could have a nicer car.

Dont let dad hear me say that.

Dont let dad hear me say that.I was watching "It Takes A Thief" a few days ago, the episode where they took care of an auto repair business. The owner had an American
Bull Terrier in the shop as a guard dog. The thief took the dog along with the owner's personal truck.. :bang2::histeric:

Smart move!

It was probably attatched to his lower leg when he took it!

Char will not let anyone near the car when it is outside on the grass like that, when its parked accross the road, she sits on the driveway and if anyone goes near it she runs over to tell them hands off her car.

She likes the Vectra, the trunk is more ocmfortable for her than the Isuzus!

A friendly guard dog!?

Guilty of that one too! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c249/mccombie_5/Stuff/OscarGarden.jpg

He seems to go all over the place, hes currently at my grandmas house to keep her company for a while.

Yeah, its driving great. It's wierd how many members cars on here got hit in the front corner. :hmm:

New camera finally showed up. Got a pic of the damage to my poor old Cad. Unfortunately, you can't see the crack in the fender running up from the middle of the wheel opening. It was getting late in the day (yea, that's what happened). Anyway, I have another fender & front bumper, & the paint arrived, but it's way too cold to deal with it. Maybe in a couple months... Until then, I miss driving her & just may patch it up with duct tape. :bigroll: Oh, the grill was very slightly damages, I removed it just to make sure there were no hidden surprises.

wow that looks pretty similar to what happened to my car.
