Given the miles on the engine, there was no way that Cadillac was going to replace the engine, however, her car was spotless and she really liked it, so in went a brand new engine, on her nickel.  Since she had many contacts in the "Autos" (she was first a sales person selling midrange computer systems in Detroit, then a Branch Manager, and then a Region Manager), she did a little investigation and found out that her engine was immediately packaged up and shipped to one of GM's metallurgy labs for analysis. Turns out that the crack in the casting was determined to have been there from the start. Did they offer to pay for her new mill? Nope. Best Regards, Shipo |

Replying to: drddo (Dec 05, 2005 11:23 am) Ummm, are you talking rims or tires here? When you say "2xx/xx 16" you are referring to tire sizes. Wheel sizes are depicted more like 16x7.5 (which IIRC is what you have on your car). Having said that, I just checked TireRack and I found that they do in fact have a 205/55 R16 & 16x7.5 alloy wheel package (Mille Miglia MM11-3) with Michelin X-Ice package available for your car for $940 plus shipping. Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: erickpl (Dec 05, 2005 7:29 am) I'm not positive about the ability to put voice tags on the directory in the BMW, but I'm going to find out.. That sounds like the best way.. I hope that will work.. Of course, my first problem.... is I've never put voice tags on the phonebook entries in the phone itself.. So, that would be the first step.. of course, it makes me sad that I can't put them on the SIM card, as that is where all of the entries reside.. Any problem with battery life on the RAZR? We've only had it two days, but the battery is going dead in a matter of hours.. I'm guessing it is because we are leaving bluetooth on? regards, kyfdx Techno-cro-magnon
