    Lowering the top

    Been there done that. I didn't want to give the allante away either, but after a while I got to where it was a chore to drive it after driving the xlr. The X is so superior in so many ways it is all I want to drive. 20000 miles in the first year. Now that's what a cool car is all about.

    water pump. I think

    Thanks for all the info bruce. I dont know if it is the pump but it is coming from that basic area and you can't see anything in there. I guess I will start pulling things off till I see the leak. Any idea how much time it takes to change the pump? the whole job that is.

    water pump. I think

    Every once in a while I see antifreeze in the floor. It may go 6 days and nothing and then on the 7 th a little puddle. It is coming from the front of the engine. Not the radiator, Thats new. It is either the water pump or something around that. Any ideas? And if it is the water pump how hard is...

    Not Able to Shift out of Park

    I had the same problem with trixie. If you pop the console cover off there is a solinoid next to the shifter you can watch work. Mine had a wire that fell down on top of it and sometime's restricted it. I just moved and secured the wire and havn't had a problem since.

    The problem with owning an XLR

    I put 311000 on the Allante before I sold it and it was still a great car.

    The problem with owning an XLR

    I was looking at my maintenance records yesterday and I realized I've put 20000 miles on the x in one year, 1700 on my truck and 9000 on the BMW. This car is so much fun to drive I always choose it unless the weather is bad. We'll just see how many miles you can get out of one of these babies.

    Nav dvd

    I got the new disk's today. They worked fine in the 06. I put then in mine and nothing. It just says please insert nav disk. I put my version 3 disk and it works fine. What gives. Bruce, Any input. How could they work in an 06 and not in an 04. Any thought's?

    Nav dvd

    I acquired a Version 8 nav disk set from an 06 v today. I know it worked in the 06 but when I put it in my 04 it just says insert nav disk. When I put my old disk back in it works fine. Is there a difference the nav disk's on an 04 and an 06v?

    Fall Drive 2009

    It still amazes me that everybody drove from Indy and Windi and drove 175 miles and when we pulled up to a stop sign in Madison, there came the caravan and we pulled in the middle of it. Timing is everything.

    Fall Drive 2009

    Devin and his dad sure impressed me. Putting the top down Sunday morning was great. I always put it down if it's sunny but the trunk was so full I had no chance. I drove into work one morning and when I got in to the office and put it up I noticed it was 27 degrees. Still great with the heated...

    Map DVD

    That was the problem. It was set for major roads. I never thought of that. I usally keep it set on that. Windi and I had a blast. As much as I like Boating, It's great to visit new places and meet new people. We'll definatlly join you guys more often.

    Map DVD

    I just checked and my car has the version 3 map DVD in it. It seems to work fairly well except this weekend in the middle of nowhere on the fall drive when it couldn't find a good way to Osgood less than 63 miles. I know they have newer versions out and I wonder if it is worth the money to get...

    Please forgive my ignorance

    The 04 came out with analogue cell phone for the Onstar. It will not work anymore since everybody's system is digital so you have to put the digital module in the system. Like I said Onstar will pay for the module if you sign up for a year of service. As for the xm I really dont know about Ebay...
