Not to scare anyone, I just think it sounds so cool.

A Cadillac’s horn sort of sounds like a train, the old ones at least.

They’re not THAT loud.

It’s just a deep nice horn.

Modern ones don’t sound anything like they used to. Escalade and Tahoe have the same horn.

Figures. I hated the horn on my Yukon, just reallllllly wimpy tone and volume for a (once) bad *** truck. When that junker was new it was seriously nice. Escalade then was probably the same too. Lexus horns are good.

I did install one on my 4Runner because I too thought it needed a strong horn. I was behind this one today. Damn... nice IMO and engine sound too.

^^^^ That higher-pitch/dual-note horn is a long-standing Cadillac trademark. I remember it on Caddies as far back as the 1960s.

I really like the light brown interior the most on the LC though.
actually, any seating surfaces not black/dark blue can become a blue jeans disaster, beige, gray, red … etc…….

Yeah I had issues with dye transfer on my flaxen interior my GS350 had too.

Got the Mercedes washed today, found this oddly perfect little hole broken through the lower grille mesh...have to see what that mesh costs to replace...




EDIT: $178. That aint bad

Narrowly avoided the parking sensor! Quite lucky.
