Cadilliac 2019 xt4 white in color brand new tires and rims ..engine blew up while traveling to a party with my girlfriends outta town. It was really bad...but we still had a great time. We had it towed at no expense by a guy we met while on the interstate he helped us to safety and towed the broken cadillac to a repair shop for repair however the repair guy said it was unrepairable due to the damages that occurred. So I left it there outta town and we flew back home.
