...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...
...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 :)
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.
Just got my engine cover back from the shop today...and I LOVE it!

As you guys know, I purchased my current XLR after it had rear-ended someone. Having now driven it for a couple weeks, I think I know why/how they did so. I enjoy driving, and am known to drive aggressively...so shoot me. Here is my issue...twice when I have been hard accelerating through...
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...
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...
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...
Hello folks! I am completely new to the XLR but not to either the Cadillac or Corvette families. I previously rebuilt an '08 black cherry STS which I loved and prior to that rebuilt a C5 Vette. I have now purchased an '05 Xenon Blue base XLR and working on rebuilding it. Below are some pics...
