    05 exhaust question

    I added the Corsa to my '05 and it is AWESOME!! Great sound - no drone on highways. I liked it so much, I added a Corsa exhaust to my '07 SRX (w/ V8). :cool: You won't regret getting a Corsa exhaust. Some members have had luck finding a V exhaust and adding it to their base with success too...

    Oil leak survey

    Amy - I have had many Cadillacs over the years and unfortunately, most of what you read on the Northstar engine is the oil leak problem. My '94 Concours had a leak at 60K, my 2000 DTX had a leak at 90K (still under warranty, dealer replaced all piston rings and pistons)... no more leaks until...

    Great old-time gas station pics - the way it used to be...

    Multiple XLRs

    So you and Amy have a little "car show" in your driveway all the time, huh? VERY COOL! If I ever get to upgrading to a V, I hope to sell Devin my Base XLR... knowing Devin probably isn't moving out of the house anytime soon - maybe I'll have two XLR's in my garage too. :laugh:

    Mirror question

    Steve, I cannot find anything in the XLR Owners Manual that indicates this feature you describe. If yours does this, could it be an "aftermarket" feature installed? Just curious.

    SRX owners

    I picked up a 2007 White Diamond SRX in the early October... looks just like your's, George - except mine has the 20" wheels. Did you get the Northstar in yours, George? Mine has the Northstar. Its filthy right now, but when I get it cleaned up, I will take some pictures and post. :wave:

    Mirror question

    I'm not sure if other years differ or not - but I believe most Cadillacs ONLY lower the passenger mirror. I have 3 Cadillacs and a GMC Denali - all with "curb assist" and only the SRX actually has the option to lower BOTH mirrors - the others only lower the Right mirror (Denali, DTX and XLR).

    2012 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals; Nov 17th & 18th

    Hmm, a red one, a white one... And there are at least a couple of blue ones not more than a few hours from Chicago (actually one IN Chicagoland). How cool would it be to have a red, white & blue XLR exhibit at next year's show? :cool:

    2012 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals; Nov 17th & 18th

    Thanks, Dave... It was a really great show - a lot of awesome muscle cars and Corvettes. My location was very nice, right next to MAM's display. It was a bit boring because I did not have Devin to hang around with (he was working in the CarArtWorks booth)... but I had plenty of people to talk...

    2012 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals; Nov 17th & 18th

    Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals show this weekend in Chicagoland - Nov 17th & 18th I'm getting my XLR ready for the big Muscle Car/Corvette Nationals this Sat & Sun. Sure would be nice to see a couple of other XLR owners show up and say hi. I'm kind of nervous entering my XLR in such a huge...

    Key fob problem

    You know, that could be the case - when they extended the range for the REMOTE START in the '08 and beyond, they may have taken away the ability to close the rear hatch from the remote fob. :dunno:

    Key fob problem

    I just bought an '07 SRX this fall - my key fob opens AND closes the rear hatch... maybe they updated it later? :dunno:

    Dead XLR

    I bought my '05 about 3 1/2 years ago with 130K - it now has almost 180K on it... I couldn't imagine NOT having an XLR. As a matter of fact, my XLR is at the dealer today - running rough, loss of power; especially at acceleration. I had a bank of COILS replaced over the summer (same symptons)...
