I'm with you I own a beautiful CTS as well. I told myself the XLR was going to be for weekends and when only the wife and I travel. So far it's been hard not to hop in the XLR and just go. Nothing else like it.

Look in mods How's it going, I just asked the same question maybe a week or so ago. Lots of good responses both for and against. The thread is in the mods section. Hope this helps.

Welcome Congratulations on your new car! Not sure if you knew about the forum before your purchase or stumbled on it lately, tons of great information here. Don't be afraid to ask. If she came with an owners manual great. I find reading mine is almost as fun as driving. Seems like I'm always...

Congrats Congratulations :thumbsup. Careful on the road, FL may be a top down state as one member says but the State Trooper didn't seem to share my enthusiasm for my new ride as he wrote my speeding ticket :lol:. Enjoy the ride home. Which one did you decide on?

Wife I'm surprised you let the wife drive it so soon :lol:. I'm still holding out but I guess it's going to happen sooner rather than later :pat:.

First mile warranty I have first mile warranty. Let me be clear, they haven't fixed anything yet as I just bought the car and haven't had any issues yet. I purchased the warranty from the stealership when I got the car but from looking them up online it looks like you can buy them direct. When...

That sounds great That's what I'm talking about XLRGEORGE. I'm a Chicago boy but I retired here in SC (had enough snow). The wife and I will be there for sure. I hope many others drive down as well.

Manual Top 1300 mile road trip, I'm jealous ;). As to your top question, that was something I was also worried about. I had read a number of post on the forum concerning top problems. Luckily nerkpowers posted a link to the owners manual in the new members section for me to check out. I down...

Welcome Welcome XLRGeorge . Congrats on your new car, I'm new as well. Bounce around in the forum and don't be shy. No matter what questions you have, someone here has an answer. The guys here have been nothing but helpful and encouraging to me.

First mile Not sure about that. The one I have is from First mile warranty. The dealership wanted to sell me the gold plus but in reading it the gold plus didn't cover the stabilitrack sensors (I ran into that issue with my USAA extended warranty) nor did it cover the sensors for the top, only...

USAA I usually swear by USAA, I have them for almost everything. I had them for my 08 CTS but the didn't cover the stabilitrack. I had to replace 3 out of 4 sensors out of pocket. The warranty I had now says they will cover the stabilitrack plus the top sensors. We will see if they put there...

Agreed I purchased an after market when I got my 09, haven't the car long enough to see if it pays off but I wanted the peace of mind :lol:. Guess we will see what happens the first time I take it in for service. On the plus side, I can cancel for a full refund during the first 60 days. After...

Happy to see him Well I was happy to see him. The cars were similar color and all but you can see a difference. He said he is already thinking about a V :lol:, I think the fever has him. Here is the pic I took of Freedom and (I forgot to ask him if he named his xlr yet). :beerchug:

XLR was right again So the wait was worth it! Great car and a great guy:thumbsup. He said he just bought the car three days ago, came across it by accident but I guess it called to him like it called to all of us. I told him about the forum, hope he checks it out. The funny thing is neither one...

Retired Retired, no business cards for me anymore. I would live a note with my number but don't want to Invite some crazy A hole into my life. I guess he must have some class, hell he drives an XLR. This is where those xlr net cards would come in handy.
