Before I begin, here is the image album of my car

So like any car enthusiast I knew I wanted to get my license as soon as possible and get a really cool car. The only issue was that I was working part time at a grocery store for minimum wage, so I ended up having to put that plan on hold since I didnβt have any money for a cool car. My first car was a 2005 Chevy Equinox with 203,000 miles I got for $1200 in 2014 from a family friend. It was a great first car for the money, just not a cool car. I kept it for a few years until the end of 2017 when I decided I wanted a cooler car. After some browsing of craigslist, I found my 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood listed for sale for $2500. There was just something appealing to me about a huge, full size, rear wheel drive, v8 American sedan. The car needed tires and it had high miles (228,000), so I was able to take the price down to $2300. It seems like the original owner was elderly and owned it until 2013. It changed hands a couple times and I am the 4th owner of the car. I was really glad that the car included many service records and especially the original window sticker. There were several service records from Arizona that featured an address in a 55+ community, so it seems that the owner had a winter house in Arizona they would travel to. This would explain the higher miles. For having so many miles, the car has only a minimal amount of rust for Illinois standards. There are a few pin holes in the right quarter panel, but the body is overall solid and the frame isnβt scaly anywhere. #-------------------- Now most people confuse this with the 94-99 Deville because they look very similar, but that car was FWD and powered by the 4.6 liter Northstar engine. Another reason for this confusion is that the Deville had much better sales figures than the Fleetwood. Many people donβt even know that this car exists because when they think of a 90s Cadillac, the then popular Deville with the fancy new high tech overhead cam aluminum Northstar is what comes to mind. Not the stone-age rear wheel drive boat that grandpa drove. The Fleetwood is the successor to the DeVille/Brougham (the

So I'm currently in the process of restoring a 1977 Mercury cougar brougham and have noticed that the passenger side rear door will not open under any circumstance and I'm wondering how can I get it open without wrecking the door
Hi! Iβm new to Geelong and still learning my way around the city. I just wanted clarification on one street name so I didnβt sound too silly to locals.
My GPS says itβs Bra-HEEM. My husband says it BROUGH-em, rhyming with cough. My friends guessed BROME.
Are there any other street or places names that newbies slip up on? Thanks in advance!
Edit: Thanks so much for the answers! Turns out Iβve been saying Gheringhap and Moorabool incorrectly as well.
