Default 2012 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals; Nov 17th & 18th

Looks like I'm going to be going to this year's Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals show in November... my 2005 XLR was accepted to participate in the show!!! Just received the letter, accepting my car into this year's show. I'm so excited!

It will be so cool having an XLR representing Cadillac at the show. I hope some of you midwest folks put the show on your calendar this fall.

Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals


We accept very few late model cars and when we do, they are something really special. This Cadillac XLR is indeed something special! Based on the Corvette and built in Bowling Green right alongside the Corvette, these cars are indeed special, and this is one of the finest

Unfortunately, I'll be at the Formula One US Grand Prix in Austin, TX that week, but I'll be cheering for you, too.

That is so freaking awesome!!! Is there anywhere that the other cars appearing with your XLR are pictured or described? Love to see what these "muscle car" want-to-be's look like.....

How cool!

Dad, I didn't go to the Show in 2011, remember? I went in 2010, but in 2011 I was in Minneapolis. I wish I would have been able to go though. I'm definitely going for 2012!
