Way too funny, rod... I had trouble getting it out, telling my wife & son. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I had a bad squealing problem for a while - finally replaced my pads this summer while Cadillac Tech replaced my shocks (OK, Bruce replaced the pads). No squealing problems now. :) thanks Bruce.

XLR Brick is in place! Thank you to all who made this brick a reality! :party:party

Glad you all had a great time. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it this fall. Thanks for posting pictures... It's kind of like being there with you. :wave:

XLR spotted in the new TV series - NASHVILLE Watching the new series, Nashville, last night and saw that one of the main characters drives a silver XLR (Record Producer/agent). Sweet! :blinzel:

I bought my XLR in PA - no front plate. Plate is required in Illinois, but I do not like the look of the plate on the front bumper cover. I purchased one of those "hiding" front plates - it flips down, out of view, when not needed. They are very popular with Corvettes. Here is where I got...

Glad to hear the surgery went well and that Kathy is on her way to a speedy recovery. She has a good "nurse" there at home. :chuckle ... OHHH, just had a horrible "vision" of Bruce in a nurses outfit. :laugh::laugh: Well - get well soon, rest and take it easy; as long as you need to... don't...

I may have to consider changing my forum name from ChicagoDave to IndianaDave :chuckle I have been down to Indy several times in the last few weeks, enjoying watching/helping Bruce work on each of my cars. Bruce found SEVERAL problems with my wife's Envoy; many of them safety concerns. THANK...

I would be good with a trip back down to Madison, IN... always love the drive down from Indy. Asheville is a little too far for me for a weekend (I am traveling to NJ for work the week before and the week after). But do whatever the group agrees on... I'm in if Madison; can't make it if it's...

I replaced shocks on my car - they are not cheap. I was quoted about $2,800 to replace all 4 shocks (by a Goodyear dealer when replacing tires). I bought the shocks myself and Bruce (Cadillac Tech) installed them. The shocks list for about $1,100 each (full retail) - I bought mine for about...

I'm confused - how does a car with 8 cylinders/spark plugs, have 9 coils? Where does the 9th coil go? :dunno:

As stated before - it really all depends on what you can afford. I could no way, afford a "V" model at the time - so I looked for an affordable BASE XLR. I love my XLR and yes, I will someday, upgrade to a V. Do I regret getting the BASE XLR? Absolutely now - it has plenty of enough power...

Early July would not work for me (end of June is 2nd busiest month of the year for my company). But I will keep an eye on this thread in case the June dates become an option again. Would love to see Montana scenery.

Made it home yesterday afternoon - in plenty of time to go to Jared's football game. Nice drive home. Followed our newest member (Ted) up I-57 for a ways. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to our best host, Bob and Paula. :blinzel: You two just go way beyond any normal hospitality and "do it...

Looks like I am able to catch an earlier flight tomorrow, so I should be able to be down in plenty of time for dinner. Things are looking good, Bob. :wave:

Count me in!! Sounds like an awesome trip. By June/July - I'm going to need a break from work. Just keep me posted on the dates. June is usually pretty hectic for me at work - July works better... but I will just work whatever fits the majority of the group.

AWESOME article, Bob!!! Love it! :blinzel: Well - my XLR is all packed and ready to go. I head to New Jersey tonight for a day and a half of meetings, Fly home Friday afternoon and get into Chicago Friday evening. As soon as I land in Chicago - I'm heading down to Mattoon. Not sure I will...

I have an '08 fob programmed for my '05... yes. Having the key inside the fob is a bit more of a challenge. I bought a couple of "08/09" fobs from ebay and was able to program to my '05 XLR. But both fobs were used and therefore, the key part does not work. I am still trying to figure that...

If you cannot get into the glove compartment - it may be locked. It is not electronically locked - it has a key. The key is built into the keyfob - its the silver metal top of the fob (release button right below). Once you unlock the glove compartment - there is a slot that you can stick your...

I am SO sorry to hear of Marion's gramma passing away. :( It has been such a rough year for her. We will keep you two in our prayers - you will surely be missed! ... I was just called out to New Jersey this week - I am flying home Friday afternoon. I'm not sure if I will be able to make it...
