yea i was reading about the northstar people were posting "NOT NORTHSTAR" then i read on like car shows how some people will convert the motors cause it was northstar and how people frown upon that cause they are not greatful for what the car had in it originally i guess this is mostly for people that claim "stock" at car shows. i was just looking at it for fun remembered about that brand as i usually dont looking into caddy's in general but i seen how cheap and low mileage they were so i got excited until i started to do a little more research. likely gonna stay away from it on this website i looked up says it was #3 in cost of maintenance in a 10 year span off the lot i suppose.

The Northstars are actually really great motors once you fix the head gasket issue. Gm spent A TON of money engineering them to compete against the euro luxury engines. Even with a head gasket failure they keep on running because of the fail safe mode which only fires every other cylinder, pulling only air through the other cylinders, which is enough to keep it cool enough to run.

A quick search of Oahu Craigslist shows a ton of 2010+ cars for $5K or under. Lots of Nissan and Toyotas, I'd be looking at something like this

How often do you Cal-I-fornianians get 2 bigger quakes this close together? Seems unusual to me , but I'm on the opposite coast so I don't have a clue.

About once a decade.

I was at the coso junction rest area about 40 mi away from Ridgecrest epicenter last night when the quake hit,
actually tossed me around inside my car :shock:.
Most violent earthquake I've felt as a lifelong californian.

The first one was nicely rolling like small waves but this last one was shallower and had some unpleasant shear. Sorry about the beer. I drank my medicinal wine stat and my poor dogs were so distressed.
