Thank you all for the pictures! It was a great time and great to meet all the people and match names to screen names. I have now revised my opinions of "vette" people thanks to Dave Chrisley and Bruce/Kathy. They went so far out of their way to show the xlr people a good time. I include Bruce since he doesn't have an xlr, YET?

A special thanks goes out to Bruce and Kathy and Joe Pruitt for giving us a heads-up that the XLR owner's would be special guests at the event. As a result, we were able to create a number of Cadillac and XLR pieces.
We hope to see you at another event soon!
Best regards,
Diane
CarArtWork | Diane, it was great to see you & Jim again. The new Cadillac/XLR pieces looked great. I don't think they lasted long. Here's a few pictures of the pieces from the show;

04 XLR | Home
We are now home a little tired, but safe and sound. June and I saw some wondeful sites along the way. We drove some great roads there and back. 2500 miles to BG, and we put on another 3000 going home. The car got just a hair over 25mpg.
It was interesting to watch the landscape change as we went west. The corn fields finally ended west of North Platte, where the bald a** prairie ( ok grasslands) took over until we hit the mountains of Wyoming,Montana and Idaho. The number of vehicles on the road dimminshed as we went west as well, but the number of Troopers seemed to increase. Just about every small town in Idaho had a Trooper set up.
I still don't know how some of you guys and gals cope with the traffic on a daily basis.
Just a side note and not counting Bowling Green, during our 5500 mile trip we only saw two other XLR's One was south bound on the intersate by Chugwater
WY and the second was about 2 hours from home.
Thank you again everyone, we enjoyed our time in Bowling Green. I will post photos from our trip on another day.
It is time for some zzzzzzz's
Brian and June

Kudos to June for riding co-pilot for all of those days! It's a good thing that the pit is comfy-cozy because with maps, purses, cameras and a cold drink it's a pretty confining area for 5 days at a time ..... I know!
We were always amazed because the traffic pattern changed just the opposite for us ... we left traffic nightmares behind when we left, and I can honestly say, the only place worse than LA was Dallas/Fortworth, and Oklahoma City .... my gosh! The semi's! Once we hit the deserts of AZ,NM & TX it got to be down right lonely...
Glad' you had a good time - yes, I will be looking forward to your pictures ... Thanks!

I know! | David has a 2-cup holder in his C6 that really adds to the storage on the road. We bought it at Bloomington Gold a couple of years ago. Last time we went back, I found a single cup model (think it's for a C5?) that fits in the XLR. It definitely helps!
We may have had to trim a little off the bottom - I don't remember.
Not sure the vendor was Ecklers, but here is a link from their catalog. http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...Product_Viewed

PS- so glad to see you in BG, and glad you guys are back home safely  | |

It was nice to see as many of you as we could during the two days we were able to attend.
It is with sadness that we have decided to sell our 09 V due to my ongoing health issue. If you or anyone you know may be interested it can be seen on ebay. Thank you.
WLB.

WLB. | Wayne - it was great seeing you two in Bowling Green. I'm so sorry to hear that you must sell your '09. But keep in mind, with or without an XLR - you will always have your forum buddies here on XLR-Net.
