    So...while taking a nice topless drive...

    ...decided to take a nice drive through the State Park on my way home. Well, the DTC lied I did not have 43 miles to empty....and I ran out of gas halfway through my nice drive. A State Ranger was nice and got a gas can and took me to a station outside the Park where I got 4 gallons of gas...

    How one can detect obsession...

    ...so I guess one could say I am obsessed with my car. How do you know one might ask...well, I just paid a ridiculous amount on e-Bay for an unopened original Hot Wheels XLR in Xenon Blue and ripped it open the day I got it so I could put it on my desk at work :)

    ...so I removed my trunk lid cover today...

    I changed my tag light bulbs to blue bulbs today and upon removing the rear cover to access the bulb sockets, I find wires hot-glued under the cover. Anybody have any clue what these are for? They plug into modules located in the trunk lid.

    For those of you with the Volant cold air intake...

    As you know, I just completed a frond end rebuild on my Xenon Blue '05. Having never driven an XLR before, I chose to replace the factory air boxes (slightly damaged) with a Volant. Now having driven her a few days, I keep getting trouble codes stating low voltage on my MAS. Has anyone else...

    AppRadio 4

    Some of you commented on my introductory post where I stated I intended to install an aftermarket stereo. I am happy to report I have completed the AppRadio 4 install and it looks good, but more importantly sounds incredible. It is full touchscreen with Apple CarPlay. I can easily place and...

    Dash vent duct actuators - HVAC question

    I have searched through the forum, but I am not able to locate the answer to my question, so I thought I would ask you experts. Yesterday the guys finished re-installing the radiator and a new condenser, so I was able to crank her and get her up to operating temps and check everything out. The...
