Chris-chan's Cadillac -

[Stratochu]

Does anyone (Champthom, Marvin, Alec Benson Leary, other PVCC users, etc.) know how CWC got the white Cadillac Seville? I know someone on the [cwc]Son-Chu[/cwc] talk page said it was a 1997 and now has Son-Chu's "SONICHU" plate registered to it, but anyone think Rocky or someone from church sold it to him or gave it to him? I imagine that both the Mitsubishi and the Aerostar expired shortly before CWC got the Cadillac.

If anyone has any kind of info on the Cadillac, the Son-Chu article needs to be updated.

Maybe it was Bob's. I remember there being pictures of him with some older cars on the Chandler fallout zone.

Could have been, but I think Bob bought a mid-90s Mitsubishi Mirage coupe after he abandoned the BMW on the fallout zone due to unknown electrical problems (which he could have fixed, or at least gotten it taken to a German car specialist to get fixed. (imagine CWC driving a BMW Z3)

Chris drives a Cadillac?

For the first time, I'm envious of something he has.

I thought it'd been confirmed that the Cadillac was Bob's (presumably the one with the "I B MR C" plate). I wouldn't get too excited though because it's not supposed to be that great of a car.

Jokes on you guys, while you can't afford a Cadillac. The adult autistic child can with your money.

The Seville was a test car for the European market. The guys at Cadillac didn't know how narrow the streets were over there.

The chandlers loved to hoard their cars. This is what I remember seeing in those videos he shot in his yard:

-the escort wagon
-the Mitsubishi Mirage
-the Areostar
-the tarped over BMW

It was on one of the older boards, but if they're still here they'll explain that it's a really crappy Cadillac.

Don't be. That generation of Seville can be had for around $2 to 5 grand easy.

The Northstar V8 in those cars are known for toasting head gaskets. Also, I've read the alternator is water cooled and the starter is located under the intake manifold.

That engine also requires 93 octane fuel.

If the Cadillac was Bob's, it probably "replaced" the BMW.

I don't think the Caddy was Bob's. The first time we seen it, it was several months after his death, and I doubt he was doing too much driving in his final few months. Also, Bob seemed to be a Ford guy. He also owned a Jag XJ, which makes the Caddy look like a paragon of reliability by comparison.

With CWC at the helm, you can bet that that poor bastard of a car is getting no more than 87 octane. I bet it pings and knocks like a son of a bitch.

I'm guessing that the Ford LTD seen with Aunt Corrina was traded in on the Aerostar (which looks like a 1989-91 model, so that would make sense for a trade-in on a 1981-86 LTD), Son-Chu was bought used later and got much of its high mileage from Barb commuting from Richmond to Ruckersville and back, the Mitsubishi was inherited from Aunt Corrina and the Jag was traded in on the BMW. I'm still standing by the Caddy coming from Rocky.

He totally should get one of those crown air fresheners to put in his cadillac and trick it out with some spinning rims.

Agreed.
