    Tires

    Goodyear Eagle rs-a. Emt. P235/50zr18 Run flat OEM tires. I approached my Cadillac service manager about whether he would put tires that I got from Tire Rack on the car as the savings were significant compared to the dealership's price. He said they would match the price - just document the web...

    The Weather Channel

    Back in the Garage My 3rd winter here in Northern Ohio with the XLR and I never expected to be driving it as much as I have this year. The past 2 years the CTS with the winter tires got all the use and the XLR stayed warm in the garage except for brief drives when all conditions were good...

    Trunk Opens by Itself

    I've had the trunk open by itself several times on my 07 XLR over the past 20 months that I've had it. The first time was in Jan 2010 right after I got the car. I walked out of work and there was the trunk lid in the air. After 2 days the dealership couldn't find a problem. I believe it happened...

    State Farm Insurance and Onstar = 1 yr Free

    This is my perspective on it. The difference is 12x as much information about you. Now there is a single annual data point. Under this program you will be reporting monthly data points on your mileage. Insurance is a business that makes a profit by charging premiums that exceed the probable...

    Looking at a V, need advice.

    In January 2009 I started looking and asking about the XLR. I asked about a used XLR coming off lease. The sales rep I had purchased several cars from pulled up the recent GM auction results and I could see the year/price/mileage/color of what had been sold and what was up for auction. In late...

    make sure you check your trunk drain!!!

    My 2007 (Nov 2006 build) has just a hole. Adding my 2cents - wires and connectors were hanging down in the box. I added a cable tie to raise the wires up and taped the cable tie to the metal of the trunk. Please see the picture. The hole is at the top right, slightly under a 1/4" in diameter...
