Dang, 3 Way Hummer/Cadillac/Chevrolet treats us GREAT! We're ridin' around in a Cadillac STS! Good car as far as cars go.

When you get a crappy loaner it is always good practice to press the brake and the gas at the same time. If it does not make sufficient rubber peeling noise you can always give it a shot while turning--this will certainly increase the probablity of substantial tire noise


Last loaner i got was a big caddy--not exactly a Hummer, but the northstar peeled out like a dream!

Hahaha. I spun out of a few stop signs trying to get used to front wheel drive. I pretty much beat it as much as I could. I ran back in today, and was pestering them to get the car back together so I could have it. I had serious withdrawl symptoms...

I found out the the driver's rear exhaust manifold is missing a bolt, and leaking. That's making a puttering noise. Maybe someone can tell me how easy that is to fix. They wanted $180 + tax. I said I'll think about it. No word on the engine thing though. I had them check the brakes as well. Almost 50K, and the brakes are still pretty good (so I was told; I'll post the numbers a bit later and have you guys tell me, because I have no idea). The brakes don't have as much play in them now, which is good... Or maybe it's that the brakes on the Malibu were pretty sucky.

If I work for him, which I may (I asked for an internet division sales job today, since he doesn't have one), things might just change! Especially if HUMMER comes into town with Saturn and Saab. I don't think it's fair to give Cadillac owners (who cares about the Toyota/Hyandai guys ) a POS to drive around when their Escalade is in for service. At least something new, like a Cobalt would be nice. Even a Colorado. I think 1. You should make the service experience worth coming back for, and 2. Putting people in new cars (like maybe the HHR) is like getting them to come in for a test drive. That to me seems like a wasted sales opportunity. But he was Dealer of the Year or something, so I suppose his strategy is working just fine. It could always be better!
