I drove my Caddy to work and it stayed in 3rd gear the entire time and never shifted. After I stopped at stop it was back to only 2nd gear. After work, I barely made it to the dealership and ended up buying a new 2011 Chevy Cruze. The Caddy needed a lot of work. The dealership didn't even want to attempt driving it. I got scrap price and I got to take out my whole stereo. Sad, but happy until the bills roll in.

I didn't even check into the Eco version. I did look at some info on the Cruze while I was waiting. I got the LS model with the 1.8L Ecotec VVT DOHC, rated 22/35. The Eco(LT and LTZ as an option) has the 1.4L Turbocharged Ecotec VVT DOHC, rated 24/36. I also got the 6 speed automatic, but you can shift up and down manually. Even in as an automatic, it feels like it shifts like a manual.

Today I didnt do anything other than make a couple dump runs. Not fun, but pops came over and we farted around and cleaned up. Moving sucks, dump runs are worse. Had some cedars that didnt make it and cans of paint. Seems like yesterday we moved in, now we are leaving. Kind of sad.

Went through everything that I need to get taken care of on the buick.. now just trying to figure out where to start.. put some gas in also. After work took a friend to pick up her car after an alignment but not sure if they actually got to it, I looked at it to see if I could tell if they had gotten to it but couldnt really find any proof.

Two NPT plugs into the LIM, two more needed. Then I can put that on the ole motor.
Meanwhile, I drove mine..
Got a universal key for the mower (dunno how I lost it), tossed teh charger on it and filled the tires with air. Then successfully mowed the front field that was the front yard.
