    My baby is gone

    The headlights/running lights had the melted lens as many of the 2004 had. Other than the left side body damage the rest of the car was in 100%. A new radiator that was 3 months old and installed by Caddy for $1400., a 1 1/2 yr/old AGM battery that I should have pulled out but didn't have the...

    My baby is gone

    That's the car. Look at the bottom of the door and you can see the start of the frame/unibody damage. $2000 to fix it if you get a free tranny, get the frame/unibody fixed, body work like the door and the side of the car, I doubt $2000. That's okay, I received more than the retail price and...

    My baby is gone

    The half shaft was pushed into the tranny and the case was cracked. I don't have a picture of the door open but the frame behind the damage at the edge of the door is broken with fiberglass missing. It doesn't look like much damage from the pictures until you get under the car. Going off of the...

    My baby is gone

    James we WERE on a back road, temp in the 70's, top down, no wind. I was coming up a small in hill that makes a slow left at the top with a road coming in from the right. The was a Honda SUV waiting for me to go by so he could make a left turn onto that road to my right. There was a car on that...

    My baby is gone

    This past April 28th I was sideswiped on the driver's side. The whole side was wiped out, the frame was busted, not just cracked, right where my left butt cheek was. The left rear wheel was broken and the tranny was damaged too. I had $320 left to pay the car off. :mad: USAA totaled the car...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    I trust you didn't get hurt, or at least I hope you didn't. The car looks really sharp. Did you have to replace the headlights and if so where did they come from or did the insurance company get them for you? A few years back my wife and I on our way to a Cars & Coffee near Salem OR in our 2000...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    Your car looks fantastic. I have not been on in a while, did you get into an accident or are you just changing the looks of your car? I like the 'V' hood.

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    DRL's have done and are doing the same thing. My outer clear lens are crazing too. I don't like it but I'm not going to pay over $1500 for a set of headlights. If they fall apart so be it. Sorry to say. I don't like it and when I bought my XLR I did notice how the DRL's looked but didn't think...
