Thus is my Texas plate for my 22 5BW. Say each letter/number out loud.

Welcome. Nice people here. The only suggestion I have, is to be cautious in applying engine acceleration. If you “stomp down on it”, it will try to swap ends, which can be awkward. And dangerous. (Don’t ask how I know).

I am the guy that had the 22 CT5 BW engine come apart at around 5000 miles. Sewell picked up the car, left me a loaner, installed a new engine (including starter and battery) and bought the car back. All under warranty.

If you are willing to use a dealer outside your local area, I recommend Sewell Cadillac of Dallas TX. The have a reputation of having excellent customer service. Call Sewell, ask for Tatum Santeen in Sales. A lovely lady who works for her clients. Good luck.

Which is why I would never live in NY of CA. The people who run those states are insane. In Texas, all you have to do to carry a weapon in your car is open the door and put the weapon inside. Like God intended.
