    Radar Detector

    Depending on where you are, detectors may not do you much good. I utilize the new Lidar (laser radar) system, so when I lock my laser radar on you, it registers about the time the driver gets a beep telling them they have just been caught. Since it doesn't send out a constant signal, the radar...

    Western caravans to Colorado

    That would be great to see everyone. Hope you can make it through. From here it is a straight shot up I-25 to Colorado Springs.

    XLR Gathering in Colorado 2010

    We will have to wait and see. May and June are a busy time at the Police Dept as we have several events going on with a lot of overtime required. We have a regional soccer tournament and a lot of movie and tv filming going in which require additional police resourses, so it is hard to get...

    2009 vs 2004-2008

    By 2009 most problems had been identified and corrected. The 2009 has the latest in the upgrades that Cadillac did for the XLR. We have owned two 2004's, a 2005, two 2006's and currently have a 2008 and a 2009. The last two have been the most trouble free. In 2009 the base model is the...

    Chrome grille

    We have the stock brushed chrome grill which came off an 08 XLR. The bottom strip is painted Electra Blue and would need to be painted to match your car. I don't have any idea what Cadillac sells the part for, but I was thinking about asking $75 (obo) for it. If interested, contact me and we...

    Please forgive my ignorance

    In 2004 models, the dealer needed to mount the antenna on the trunk of the car. You would not have to replace the radio unit. The dealer would need to mount the antenna and make the connection for the XM radio service and you would need to contact and subscribe to the service. The car will...

    The New WC - AKA Wives Club

    I was there at the field and saw this happen. Fortunately no life threatening injuires. At the same time there was a similar accident at Santa Ana Pueblo when a balloon came in hard and the pilot and passenger were ejected. The empty balloon then went on and crashed in the parking lot of the...

    The New WC - AKA Wives Club

    Yes. I have a commercial hot air balloon pilot's license. At one time we had 3 balloons. We travelled all over the US flying in hot air balloon fiestas and rallies. We sold the balloons and got into cars thinking that it would be cheaper and we wouldn't have to get up so early. We were...

    The New WC - AKA Wives Club

    Its Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta here for 9 days. I am either at the field participating or at the police department handling calls on balloons landing , balloon crashes or etc. Traffic with chase crew vehicles and visitors is terrible with thousands of people in Albuquerque for the...

    Antique and Collectable Tires

    We had purchased several sets of Coker tires for our older Cadillacs. Many other classic car owners purchase Coker tires in order to get the wide white walls.

    Parking

    Owners of older corvette Stingrays learned to back into parking spaces to protect the nose.

    Bowling Green trip?

    There was no Bowling Green planned for this year. With the end of XLR production and the financial assistance from Cadillac, it would not make much sense to plan a trip there. We had two good visits to Bowling Green and with the assistance of the plant and Cadillac, the trips were fun and...

    Balloons and Varooms

    Ridgway is about 80 miles north of Durango on Hwy 550. According to Expedia, it is about 292 miles from Denver. It was about a 285 mile trip for us from Albuquerque. This year it was good because the daytime temps were about 70. We have seen past years when the road north of Durango...

    Ebay code for sale

    I believe the code only worked on 2004 and early 2005 models and then Cadillac changed it. The code does not work in later models.
