    finally found something I don't like about my XLR

    I have a (Craftsman) shop vac with a detachable motor that functions as a blower. I also use deionized water (Industrial setup, but surprisingly affordable), but that's a little extreme I guess. Anyhow, try using the blower. You can use something like this Metro Vac 'n Blo, but mine does the...

    CTS-V Wagon review

    Hah, she already told me I could sell the XLR to buy it. I don't know, I don't drive the XLR but once a month, but it is fun. Then again, so is the TBSS. It's been a while since I've driven the CTS-V, so we'll see. Thanks for the encouragement though. Bruce

    CTS-V Wagon review

    Reviving an old thread, the wife and I going to look at one this weekend. I've been nudging her for a while on this. Will probably sell her TBSS, but keep the XLR. We'll see. Bruce

    BEST CARD/CIGARETTE TRICK EVER!!!!!

    Well worth watching. It had been a while since I saw that. The wife sat down to see what I was watching too. Hilarious. Bruce

    FNG in the house! San Antonio

    Welcome. Hope you enjoy the hunt, mine took about 6 months to find, there are a depressing number of neglected examples out there. Test drive lots of examples. Also, check the left rear trunk under the floor where the computers are. If there are signs of water intrusion it could be problems down...

    Sounds like it will be a nice upgrade. Have fun looking for the right car. Bruce

    Top round 2: it's covered

    If the reason was for failure was because the drain tube was clogged and it got saturated I would just toss it. Not easy bringing those electronics back to life. Bruce

    whats the part number for the service ride control module and the ftc...and where would be a good place to purchace it

    Correct, 04 & 05 use different components than 06 & up. Do some internet shopping, but watch the shipping prices.

    my 04 xlr is not turning on.... would the suspension control module have something to do with it or ftc module

    Correct, the connectors complete a circuit. You either need to jumper some pins, I forget which, or plug the bad module in. You are not out of the woods yet. Bruce

    Best poliish and leather cleaner/conditioner

    Last year at Carlisle Adam's Polishes were named the official car care products for Corvette and Camaro. I'm really happy with the results. Harder to find, but worth the effort. Bruce

    How a wife can calm down her husband.

    I should always read the punch line to myself before I start reading jokes to my wife. At least my couch is comfortable. :reddevil Bruce

    Bored at Wally World.........

    I sent this to my wife, asking her to take me shopping this weekend. I think I'm safe from shopping for a while. Bruce

    2004

    Lots here run larger wheels, I just lowered my suspension on stock bolts. That works really well also. Congrats on your new car. Lots of great experience here to learn from. Bruce

    Interior Swap Help

    That seems like a hard and potentially costly way to get there. Have you looked at custom interior shops, or just buying new seat covers and foam direct from Cadillac? Bruce

    trunk and top not opening and relays in the back are cover with sand and corrosion

    If you read all the threads I'm sure you saw my saga. Good grief, hopefully parts are in stock now. Power top module, suspension control module and Power top pump. I could tell you retail prices, but I'll let the dealer surprise you. Plus wiring and connector issues... A reminder, 04 & 05 use...

    LA Wheel & Tire

    I dealt with them also, but they are in my backyard. I would suggest sending a picture of the offending area and try and get their reading on it. They seem up & up though. Bruce

    can i drive my 04xlr with the driver door open after a hit and run

    I back mine into my parking spot with the door open all the time. The door being open is your problem. How hard was it hit? Bruce
