Doug...
| Welcome to the site!! Great to see another ALL BLACK XLR in the group. In your reading - check out the POWDER COATING Brakes thread - it looks GREAT with a black car. Also, take a look at the events section - there are several opportunities to join many of us for a great time (check out the Central Pennsylvania trip in June and Bobfest - in conjunction with MidAmerica Motorwork's Funfest, in Sept).
Beautiful car, Doug!

I had a 2004 that was plagued with issues and this site was a life saver. I now have a problem free 2006...
I have a great detail/customizing guy in Louisville, if you need anything done.

The stock one is frustrating and useless.

Check out some of our Fall Drive threads - some great pictures of about 6 - 10 XLR invading Madison over the last few years.
Beautiful area down there.

Wow, that would be fun, I can easily make all the arrangments next time Madison is on the radar. I live right on the hill side overlooking downtown for anyone familiar with Madison.

There are some awesome driving roads in the area. Here's a link to some of the pictures from our trip to Madison 2010; Fall Drive '10?

Here's a link to some or pictures from our trip to Madison 2010; Fall Drive '10? | Looks like a great group of people, would love to join in for a ride sometime. Has the group ever went to the "overlook " resturant in Levinworth Indiana. It is on 64 outside New Albany going towards St, Louis then south to the river.
I live on the hillside half way up and down the hill that leads to middle downtown Madison so I drive them every day, the XLR does make it more fun though. I have lived here 26 of my 47 years now and still never tire of Madison, 1 hour from anywhere and in the middle of nowhere.
