We had the pleasure of meeting up with First Robin yesterday evening as he came through Albuquerque on the way back to Colorado Springs. We got to get together and see Digby and then go to dinner. Hopefully Robert made it safely into Colorado Springs today. The afternoon winds here were terrible.

Verizon Onstar Program I don't know how many members did the Verizon/Onstar program which changed your Onstar Phone to a Verizon number and shared the minutes with your cell phone and you didn't have to pre-pay the expensive Onstar minutes. We did it on our 3 Cadillacs. Verizon has now...

My wife and I had 1954 and 1955 Cadillac Convertibles. Both were equipped with the dashboard mounted autronic eye which would sense oncoming headlights and dim the bright lights on our cars. That was quite a feature at that time.

You are correct Bruce. The early 2008 XLRs came with the leather wrapped wheel. When Jean got her 2008 at Bowling Green at the Rendezvous, it came with the leather wrapped wheel. We were told that there had been a problem with the wood cracking and they didn't offer the wood top part until...

Sorry I ended up selling my a year ago to a XLR owner in Canada who wanted a front grill. jamsto

Haven't done quite as many. We do #1 every May to attend a hot balloon rally and car show in Ridgeway. We have posted photos of the XLR's on that road. I have also done 2, 3, 4, 7, 9 & 10. Maybe someday will get them all done.

Congratulations. Good Luck on your closing and hope all goes well and you enjoy your new home. Now when we come through Phoenix and see Jetboy we can see another friendly face.

Jean should post them soon. He is actually about the size of a chipmunk at 8 weeks old.

We drove to Las Vegas today and went over the new fly over bridge which by-passes the dam. The new road is great, 4 lane all the way and it cuts 30 to 45 minutes off the drive from Kingman. The California rains were in Arizona, but were gone by noon in Las Vegas. Hope everyone has a great...

Lloyd floormats makes decent set of mats. We replaced the oem set with Lloyd mats in both our XLRs. You have a choice of Cadillac logo or embroidered XLR logo in a variety of colors. They tend to hold up well. I believe that I got them off ebay and they were about $80 a set.

We have that same offer from NY NY for New Years but haven't decided to go or not. We already will be there for Christmas. We go often enough to get comped rooms at MGM properties, but always stay at NY NY.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I did get to sleep in, but am working swing shift this evening. It is my first birthday with Medicare coverage, so I hope I don't need any medical services under Obamacare.

Since the other Blue Bunnies couldn't make it, we decided that we didn't need to bring the XLR. We needed the extra room anyway and drove the Escalade and Kent brought his STS.

We are in Las Vegas for a couple of days and are meeting up with Jetboy for lunch in about an hour. We didn't bring an XLR and neither did Kent. We were going to have a quick reunion of the 6 original Blue Bunnies, but only 1/2 of us could make it. Kent and us will do a little sightseeing...

Yesterday Jean and I took a trip over to Phoenix to pick up a cat. We had a chance to meet up with Jetboy and have lunch. He brought his XLR and it still looks new.

Verizon and Onstar no longer offer the change over of the Onstar phone to a Verizon number. We have our XLR's and Escalade on that plan. When we purchased a CTS last year, we contacted them about making the change and we were told that they don't offer that program anymore. :pat:

I took the weekend off from work and attended the Hooters Summer Series car show today. I took the 2009 XLR and got a first place in Contemporary Class. We will be out and about tomorrow since it will be Jean's birthday.

Our local dealer has a 2008 Alpine White (Platinum Edition) with about 100 miles on it in the showroom. It is new, not used. They have had the car since new. The sticker price was about $81,000. You can get it for about $59,000. If interested contact Gino Sanchez at Galles & Davis...

I took the 2009 XLR to the New Mexico Council of Car Clubs annual car show at the Albuqueruque Museum in Old Town. This is one on the major car shows here each spring. There is no judging, but particpants vote on their favorite vehicle in each of 26 classes. There were about 400 vehicles...

Balloons and Varooms We got home last night from Balloons and Varooms in Ridgway, Co. The trip was great and the weather was good. On Friday night the cars were parked in a city park and at dark they had a balloon glow. On Saturday morning the cars were parked and all the balloons inflated...
