    Help! DEAD IN THE WATER

    Back in 2008 or 9, I had a simular problem with my XLR. It was a typical SoCal 74deg. afternoon and I was seating at a Stop Light on Manhattan Beach and when the light changed, released my foot brake and stepped on the gas pedal but the engine did not increase RPMs as it was supposed to. I could...

    Trunk not closing on own after top cycle, only opens with top switch??

    :wave:You've still got it CCC, I wish I had a woman in my life to try that out on. Before my wife passed away, I would just purchase what I needed/wanted and if she wondered what it was I would explain what it did in VERY TECHNICAL TERMS until her eyes would glaze over. At that point, I knew...

    Trunk Lid problem. Hi CCClarke I lowered the top and made sure it was stowed completly, several times and that didn't work. At least that says the top up senors are ok? I've gone through my service manuals and tried the cycling the ignition on & off 50 times and that didn't work. I'm searching...

    My deceased Father-in-Law really liked that song because he owned 'A Little Nash Rambler' during that era. And he said it really went faster in second gear than third.

    Thank you Robert and others for the well wishes and please except mine to you on the elevator mishap. It's not a good feeling when these kind of things happen to us and we have to except the fact that we're not invincible! Heck, I used to jump off of my roof when I was younger and 'Tuck and...

    Shift levers

    I agree with you Sandy but I do like to shift the gear lever to the left and use it in the paddle shift mode. Seems more natural than paddles on the steering wheel. The only real problem I have is remembering the left foot is for the BRAKE in the Xlr!:pat:
