Did the 2nd Gen Northstars end up having the threads pull too? Haven't been on the Cadillac forums in ages, but last I checked the problem was thought to be corrected in the 2nd Gen's with a change in thread pitch? Guess not.

Helped my Father beat Cancer with that kind of attitude. Hardest part is keeping that attitude when you hit bumps in the road. Hang in there.

Just a follow up I said maybe 10 miles over the speed limit, maybe. And when I hit the second one I was definitely doing the speed limit, probably less, and I still got RAPED. New struts/suspension on all 4 corners too. As others have said someone is going to hit one of these doing the speed limit, bust a balljoint/strutmount/etc and loose complete control of their vehicle.

Good call, 5th Ave bridge is about to undergo major construction (they've got zillions of orange barrels up already), and it's a stones throw away. But still, they city is going to catch hell from me about it. I mean you can't see them for shit at night, even if your intently looking for them. And they rape, RAPE your suspension, even when going the speed limit. Honest to god it feels similar to driving into a 2ft deep ditch, then plowing back up onto the road.

It's a City Of Columbus Street, I can't imagine anyone other then the City placing them there, wouldn't doing so be crazy illegal/open to all kinds of liability issues?

Im usually not one to flip shit on anything or anyone, but I fucking lost it last night. While coming home from a late night fishing trip I decided to take a backway home. Along this route are some very nice homes in a subdivison-like setting that backs up to the Scioto river $$$ (Just across from UA). At any rate this road gets a fair amount of Traffic, and im quite certain 90% of the people who live on it wish it was a Private drive. Here's where I about lost my head. So im doing maybe 10 miles over the speed limit? (25) and as im coming around a dark corner I BLAST into something that sent my car/suspension into death-wobble mode. I absolutely flipped out, because honestly I thought I had run over a railroad tie or some other massive piece of construction equipment. So I turn around to have a looksy and what do I find? A JET BLACK hardend-plastic "ramp-style" Speed bump. No bright reflective signs warning of it, no reflection coming off of it, just essentially a low-profile black ramp in the middle of a poorly lit street. At that point I was pissed, but just said "eh, have to remember that for next time." As I went to turn around I said to myself "man I better drive real slow incase there are more" So about a block later Im going the speed limit, or less, while intently looking for another one of these suspension-feasting bastards, then all of a sudden BAMN! I HIT ANOTHER ONE, ANOTHER GODAMN JET BLACK SPEED RAMP POSITIONED IN A DARK STRECH OF THE STREET. No warning signs, no reflective markers indicating it's presence, nothing. I lost my shit. I straight laid on the horn for 3 blocks straight @ 1:00am. I mean it's one thing to have speed bumps with reflective marking and signage. But these are jet black and have no "bump" to them. They're also seemingly placed in the poorest lit sections of the street. I can't help but think the Residents dont want you to see them, then wind up blowing a fucking strut mount when you hit one doing the speed limit. So enough with the rant, does anyone know if this is Legal? I've NEVER seen anything like it in my life on a public road, they're like something the Military would use in succession to stop an attacking vehicle, and they have no reflective markings what so ever. Every last speed bump I've seen has some sort of symbol/signage/reflective decal to alert you to it's presence. Always thought that was due to laws on alerting motorists to a potential hazard. And who would I call within the City Of Columbus to express my frustration? Im not one to bitch about little shit, but when I run over what are essentially black parking curbs placed in the middle of the street I tend to get straight pissed off. I'll try and get pics later.

Greatful Dead - Sugar Magnolia. I've been known to play this dozens of times on picture gawdamn perfect Summer/Fall days. Bout fucking time we get some blissful Weather :thumbup:

Creek behind the Condo http://i.imgur.com/fHJhlbTl.jpg Thanks again Trish for imgur sizing tips :thumbup:

This weather is absolutely fucking absurd. Worst summer I personally can remember.

FTFY

Yep, I called the same thing back on the start of 127...poor bastard

And all next week :fuuuu:

Im putting Ohio on notice: 2 more years of this bullshit and im out. I'll never (willingly) leave CR though. And fuck the South. Southwest/West Coast or bust. Spent a year in the South, could'nt stand it.

Im usually chill about Ohio's Weather but these past few years, epsecially this year, have been horseshit. This isn't Canada, nor the fucking Amazon :fuuuu:

This is why I buy a Factory Service Manual the same day I purchase a car. At any rate, given your predicament I would hardwire the fans to the battery. It could be any number of issues. Buddy had similar issues with his Hyundai and it turned out to be the coolant temp sensor.

Truth. Calm yourself, brah.

Looks familiar. Congrats on successful trip. Grab a cup of Clam Chowder at the light house for me

Check the relay ground, the fan ground and the module ground. Throwing parts at Electrical issues typically isn't the wisest course of action.

Drive it like you stole it.

was it one of the floats playing British rock?

Ahhh, back in the days when certain VW's would scream "Gangster" instead of "Im a half-flaming metrosexual" :gabe: There was on one here not to long ago that was lowered with 15" BBS, mah lord was that car hot. Sweet car, GLWS.

pay your capital one on time for the first 6 months and youll get at least a $600 credit line increase, as well as a boost on your credit score

Its the Famers Tom. This is all due to the fact that we got dumped on up north in Farm Country last week. If all that rain would have hit locally we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Just saying, Naples is more like 2000 miles...

Plant is close to downtown on "Dublin Rd", which is really Riverside drive.
