2019 Cadillac CT6 AWD

Got my license plate the other day, looked into removing front bracket, would leave 5 holes.  May try plugs eventually.  Currently using this metal logo plate I got off eBay.  

Today at the gas station, I suddenly noticed and realized where the CHMSL on my CT6 was...had never thought about it, until I noticed a thin red strip at the top of the rear window...

I also would not have thought about it much, is it very noticable?

Probably noticeable when it's on...but pretty much invisible if you aren't looking for it..

Took the Caddy in for it's first service since I've had it.  60k service...oil change, tire rotation, spark plug changed, etc.  Only one small issue--a crack and small leak in the washer fluid reservoir..they have to order the part.  Running great otherwise...put 5300 miles on it 9 months.

Doing what it's built to do. Chew up interstate. 

Went in for my annual service/oil change (about 5000 miles since the last one).  Been parked most of the winter, weather been cold and snowy.. warming up and melting.  Got a new set of tires last week (replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Firestone Firehawks), getting an oil change and new battery today--I think I had the original battery--after all the cold weather recently, noticed it was down to 10.3 volts when starting, but rising to 15.x after a few min.  Want it in ship shape before my 10 vacation in two weeks..road trip down to Beaufort & Hilton Head, SC, Savannah and Macon GA and Asheville, NC.. 

 

 

After picking it up from the dealer, stopped for tacos near home.  Still turn around and look at it after parking.. beautiful car.

Drove great on vacation.... really a great road trip car, soaks up the miles..I had mostly short days--25-300 miles, but one day (Asheville, NC to home outside Cleveland, Oh) was 550 miles... fast, smooth and comfortable.   Getting decent gas mileage also.  I ran into a retired couple from Michigan in Macon, GA in the hotel parking lot one morning--they have an identical 2019 CT6 with 148k miles!  Mine is at 63k now.   

Hours of rolling along, mostly streaming a 1990s grunge soundtrack (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Temple of the Dog, Mad Season, Alice In Chains, etc) and some later Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Audioslave...reliving the music of my 20s-30s.

 

Sounds like a great vacation Robert!!!

Any found memory meals?

I had some good breakfasts...avoided the Southern staple of grits.  Lots of biscuits.  Had some good BBQ brisket on Hilton Head Islands, but also found a really good Asian fusion place in Savannah for a lemongrass bowl with kimchi.  Ate a lot of berry and fruit salads for lunch (trying to keep to my low carb/low sugar diet).
