So when we made it to LA we stopped to meet up with Matt Farah, the host of a super cool internet car show called The Smoking Tire. We handed him the keys to the caddy and then this happened:

When we first bought the Cadillac it had a bad heater core, spewing coolant all over the floorboards and spitting white smoke into the passenger compartment. We tried to make it to Sterling, IL which was the nearest “big” town to where we purchased the Caddy. On the way, we spotted Pete Harkness Chevrolet (just as the caddy was overheating). We met Nancy, the sweetest lady in all of Illinois, and she introduced us to Joe, the service manager and best mechanic in all of Illinois. Joe’s expertise had us back on the road in no time, with only a $60 repair and tuneup bill.

We get to Chicago, cruise around, search Cars for a Grand for a suitable ride, then go pick it up!
