BG Corvette Plant Car Show I think we had one more show up later for a total of 14 beauties. Had a beautiful day and had a great time!

Headlights I think I speak for just about everyone here: HEADLIGHTS! HEADLIGHTS! HEADLIGHTS! HEADLIGHTS! HEADLIGHTS! HEADLIGHTS! And when you get time: TAIL LIGHTS! TAIL LIGHTS! TAIL LIGHTS! TAIL LIGHTS! You catching my drift here? The inability to get replacement lights for these cars is...

Yep. It happens Yeah, the same thing happened to mine. While the local Caddy dealer could get the replacements for me, I saved about $1500 by finding and buying them off Amazon.

We'll be there On our way!

Today's the day Today's the big day! We're hitting the road in just a few hours. See you tomorrow evening.

Reunion Petition What matters is making enough noise to make that 1 person high enough at GM decide losing a couple thousand dollars on headlights is worth squashing bad PR. It's not about making money on the parts, it's about PR, good or bad. Mercedes gets it. BMW gets it. GM, not so much...

Show registration We're signed up now for the Saturday show.

How I found Red Like a couple other commenters, how did I miss this thread? Just now stumbled across it. Anyway, three years ago, I was able to talk (nag? beg?) my long-suffering wife, Kathleen, into letting me buy a 2006 Cadillac XLR. Kathleen is not what you would call a ‘car person’. To her...

My 2006 had one on it when I bought it. At first I really hated it and took it off. The reflections mentioned by others here were what bothered me. But when I would go to a car show, I would put it back on, and I gradually got used to it. Now it doesn't bother me at all. My eyes and brain have...

Weld it If you broke it by hitting a curb or parking barrier, you may be able to get it welded back together. This thing is aluminum, so be sure it's someone who knows what he's doing. Right after I got my 06, I broke mine. Took it the Caddy dealership. They ordered a new one and installed it...

Cadillac convention The wife & I will be at the National Cadillac/LaSalle convention in San Marcos, TX, next week. I'll be sure to mention our BG gathering to all the XLR people there.:thumbsup

Me too Me too, Chad. Let me know how much and how to send if you need it now. Doug

Headlight washer heads They put headlight washer heads on the front bumper. But there are no wipers! So it does NOT get the headlight lenses clean. What is does do is spray water all over the hood, leaving water spots. As a result, I don’t use the washer on the windshield even when it needs it...

Come on over. If it's drivable, come on over. I'll bet some of the XLR people can give you some ideas on where to get parts. Hope to see you soon.

Caddy Convention Yo, MBRUND! Do you know about the National Cadillac/LaSalle convention being help in San Marcos next month? It's June 5-9 at the Embassy Suites San Marcos right on I35. They will actually have tours going to Austin, San Antonio, AND Fredricksburg. Why don't you come join us...

Made Reservations Just made our reservations at the Courtyard Marriot. See you on the 26th. Keeping an eye out for the daily itinerary.

Red in the Big Bend Just got back from Big Bend. Driving thru the mountains with the top down - hard to beat.

Windshield Replaced I just had mine replaced. Safelite didn't act like it was a big deal. Apparently they had them in stock. Got it done in one day. So thankfully that's ONE thing we don't have to worry about right now. Cost was a little over $800.

Not an investment "My XLR is a personal item, not in my balance sheet! The rest isjust gravy.' Can't agree more. I bought my Red because I love it! Not because I had dollar signs dancing in front of my eyes. If it appreciates, so much gravy as you say. But in the meantime, I'll be appreciating...

Not bad I kinda like it. If your choice is between having a wrecked XLR lawn ornament/bird birth, or doing something like this, I'll take the interesting, drivable, Frankencar any day. Until something is done about parts availability for our babies, you're probably going to see more and more of...
