greetings fellow Canadian! Hi Gord, It is Graytoad, not greytoad but my friends call me Sandy! I live in the Hamilton Ontario area and there is another local guy on this forum, also 'Gord' and goes by Bakertech on the forum. We winter in Port Charlotte Florida where my XLR currently sits -...

You bet we bought it! It is a 1963 Jetfire: which was the first North American production Turbo vehicle! (Hit the streets a few weeks before the Corvair turbo for anyone who thought different) 215 Aluminum V8 that produces 215 HP and 300 fp torque and is liquid injected like the WW2 fighter...

So how does it turn on and off?

I would love to know what my problem was with the Volant. I had so many codes thrown due to the Volant my hubby took it off without saying anything to me. I did not notice any 'obvious' performance change and a few weeks later I commented how the car had not 'thrown a code for a while' when he...

Greetings from Canada! If you ever wonder why so many people Read a thread and say nothing it is because WE DON'T KNOW either, so at the very least I though I would at least post this reply. However, after a bit of thought I would check the time zones and call Tophydraulics and talk to them...

Just drive your X! I have owned mine for 8 years and drive it weather permitting and don't hesitate to take it on long trips: have driven it back and forth to Florida from Canada a couple of times and it is problem free. Yes, I am very particular on how it is maintained - but I am with all my...

Wow, that turned out super cool.

Well said John. You bet these are awesome cars and hard to get parts - but if a car is well taken care of, problems are minimal. I have owned mine for 8 of it's 10+ years and intend to own it until I cant fit my big a$$ in an out of it any more or they pull my license for being to old and feeble.

I wouldn't worry about that, Just drive it and enjoy it! If you want to 'Invest' in something I suggest real estate!

Have you tried GMPartsDirect.com | GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts ? That is where I would start.

If it was Pepto Pink it would be ugly. Actually looked good: not good enough that I would want to seek out one to buy, but it did look good! If I was a Mary Kay rep and 'earned that car' I would LOVE that pink!

MARY KAY pink sighted I dont usually bother posting when I see XLR's as I often do both here in Ontario as well as in Port Charlotte FL: However today I saw a pink 2009 Mary Kay car. The view in the photo is exactly all I got to see as it was not very close, don't now if the Mary Kay banner...

That is a pretty big smile you have there Sophia! I know that feeling of 'How lucky am I to own this car!' Enjoy!

I laughed when I saw your post. I have owned my XLR for 9 years and the first 'flaw' I saw was the dent in that same trim panel. Kind of forgot it was there...… I am too busy smiling and looking forward as I 'Cruise on down the road'! It is annoying though, isn't it?! When a company puts...

Welcome to the forum Larry!

Love it or Hate it: at the very least we know it handles great!

Since I have been apparently 'snoozing', hardly on the forum and just noticed this post I figured I should add mine..... Photo taken in front of the West Montrose Covered Bridge in West Montrose, Ontario Canada this past summer. :burnout:

Trogdor......never heard of it....... learn something new every day

wow, good find on the engine!........ and good choice on the car - hope it is all you dreamed it would be!

Obviously I am partial to the 09's, there were only 892 of the built all together and with the styling differences they are holding a much stronger resale price over the '08's. Even with 91,000 miles I think that is a very good deal assuming all is well with the car as Pure Zen pointed out...
