As far as Caddy coupes go, this is the looker IMO. I have an ELR exactly like this one...this is just a much better pic.

The people that accused him of cheating gave him a choice.
#1 Put his hands in the door frame of his car and they would then slam the door hard!

#2 fight and they would beat the shit out of him and then put his hands in the Caddy door frame and slam it hard.

Well he did not fight and got his hands mangled pretty good. Could hardly hold cards or use pens, knives and forks well after that. His hands looked like a real bad case of Arthritis!

While it’s stylish, it’s an easy pass. I drive too many miles per day.

These are often my loaners when mines in for service. They’re ok and zippy but lacking in cool.

I read lines like this and they remind me of how grateful I am to NOT be in the ratrace and have to hustle and work for a living.

It’s sharp!

But there’s a good reason it was produced for only two years skipping one in the middle….2014, 2016 (no 15)…..

Sounds like Jonny the knee’s work? He started out learning the business on fingers, then gradually developed a thing for busting knees!

That is true, but for my 83 year old mom, it's plenty cool.

Yeah it was a complete failure at $75k...trying to compete with the Model S. Now its so rare, it gets more attention than my Corvette.

The interior is all leather, alcantara, and carbon fiber....not plastic like Tesla.

At $25k its is an amazing value.

That incident happened the year I was born but I heard the stories later on. Those people running the game were "Serious People" and I guess they were in a good mood and did not kill him.

Yeah, my coupes got 140k she flipped just today, super clean, you’d never think. If a super low mileage one came by I’d write the check on the spot! No jewing um down! Has to be black!

When me and Paulie had a good day at the track, we’d ask our “helpers” to go a little easy. So, they’d pour liquid dishwasher soap in those cheaters throats!

(This is really what happened in my house as a kid if you got caught cursing!
Did I stutter….).

Huh? I'll be 63. She'll be 83 this year. My parents were married a year and 3 months before I was born.
