    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    i call it good luck - it didn’t lose the fob programming + I knew it was coming - a 4 year old bar in AZ just doesn’t workout

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    And, it finally happened - battery dead, had to go through the trunk to get in. . . Worst timing too, I just got a real nasty tooth infection to fight straight dead - out of nowhere. . . Pull the battery, straight heaving battery acid from the side closer to the fender(right where I wouldn’t...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    Me and my mechanic always kick work around - I always give him my nasty greasy hard to get or diagnose calls. . . Lol He swapped my high pressure PS line for a 100 bucks. . . . I think I got the hose off RockAuto or eBay for like 40-50 bucks So much better now, it heaved PS fluid from the...

    For Sale Anyone want my xLR?!

    I might as well, post it on here - I have it listed for sale locally and the only thing I have been getting is offers for junk. . . . I'm not too antsy to sell it, but if I wind up keeping much longer it's gonna get a large shot of N02 - the wife doesn't think it's that grreat of an idea(kinda...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    I'll post it on here, but won't tell my son - Can't promote myself doing this stuff Took it out for drive around the block with the wife, and got into with a 2020 Charger Rt. . . We got to about 90 from a slight roll and he barely started to pull away at about 60-65. . . . She's got some left...

    What did you do to / with your XLR today?

    Only real dif is if you let a motor sit a long time, it goes dry But, personally I have never had issues with it. . . My xF has 8k miles, it sat for almost 5 years straight - started up & drove it home on the original oil when it had about 5-6k. . . . Changed the oil, still runs perfect...

    Battery Issue

    I been slacking here lately - again, on putting on the Tender But, I’m back to driving it daily - not far, at all. . . It sees maybe 50 miles a week Also - when it does die, I really hope it doesn’t lose the key fob programming. . . My 08 CTS did that, real nice added touch

    Battery Issue

    I was just gonna say Mine stays on the tender most of the time - well, not during this Corona season - since, I actually drive the car But, any time Cadillacs or other high end cars sit - they tend to eat batteries. . . And, an Optima is still a great bat. . . .Man, the days when I could buy...

    Is the XLR just another Allante?

    + it’s just a hideous car that pretty much covers every every 90’s Cadillac tho. I wouldn’t own one if I got it for free - the NorthStar FWD platform is one of the worst designed drivetrains ever built. I remember having to work on these - I think it’s easier pulling teeth But, Cadillac does...

    Headlights

    Oh, I wish - I need to do swap my coil packs & do the valve covers, sine they are leaking into the spark plug gallies With my amazing vision I srsly thought these were amber colored - oh well, part of its charm

    Is the XLR just another Allante?

    Someone asked me this? I felt like it was more negative than “you have a NorthStar” And, I was looking at a Allante this morning on CL. The way I see the xLR, it’s more of the best they can do about what they did wrong on the last Coupe Any fwd Cadillac is straight garbage - worst stuff they...
