    wreck near buffalo, for parts ?

    What happened here? I've been trying to figure what happened to that car. Rear doesn't indicate a rollover. Front end damage and collapsed roof says end over end. Did it run under the rear of a stopped truck? Did the driver survive this event? What are your thoughts?

    navigations system

    Nav I use my handheld Garmin for Geocaching. For navigation in the car I am very pleased with my iphone 6, Siri and Google Maps. They have never let me down.

    2008 Alpine White Edition

    An Erie Question I just sent you a PM Chip but I don't know if it arrived. Welcome to the very private and exclusive club of XLR fanatics. I have a Xenon Blue 05 that I dearly love. Off topic but here goes - I went to college in the mid 60s with a guy from Erie named Dick Schau. He was a...

    Paint blisters around rear window 05 ravens black

    Amazing! I had exactly the same problem on my Xenon Blue 05. Cost me a little over $400 at the body shop to get it fixed. I have no idea what caused it. It's time for cc clarke to check in and run this deal down for us. Cadillac Tech may have treated this illness too. Help experts. That's why...

    'Rides'

    Unfortunately it seems to be a primer for 'how to make a XLR a pimpmobile.' Surely GM didn't buy it for their collection. I'm a Foose fan but he missed that one a mile and more.

    'Rides'

    Velocity replayed the 2004 'Rides' episode involving the redo of the XLR by Chip Foose for the SEMA show today. I assume the show is on Netflix or the Rides website but I haven't checked. I had no interest in an XLR at the time and I don't believe 'Rides' was in full distribution 10 years...

    Important! Run Flat tires

    I just replaced my Pirellis with a set of the new Bridgestone run flats. They carry a 50,000 mile warranty which is 20,000 miles more than competing brands including Michelin. I have run them hard from the beginning and I can assure you these bad boys are very smooth and extremely sticky...

    Baby's Got a New Pair of Shoes!

    My bad BM. I jumped in the car and quick posted on the iphone. They are 'Drive Guards.' I drove a little over a hundred miles today to the lake house. I could not believe the change between these tires and the Pirellis. Smooth and sticky.

    Vet Bills and they're not the car kind!

    A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed...

    I Sure Miss Abby

    Dear Abby, A couple of women moved in next door. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid-twenties. The two women go everywhere together, and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think both could be Lebanese ? Dear Abby...

    Baby's Got a New Pair of Shoes!

    Got 'er done today with new tires for my unit. Shopped til I dropped and settled on a set of Bridgestone Dura Guards. Read all of the reviews on every run flat brand out there and settled on the Stones for both price and comfort. Paid $190 per tire with lifetime rotation and alignment in the...

    Help Finding a Coolant Leak - Pics

    Maybe I'm being too Simplistic. I live in a climate similar to yours where humidity rules. I have found wet spots in exactly the same place as you several times this season. Consider this...the fact that you may have to remove the ac condenser to fix it may just mean that your ac unit is...

    Time has come today!

    Time has few advantages given enough of it. But it can help you put things in perspective. Nine things to ponder Number 9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world. Number 8 - Life is sexually transmitted. Number 7- Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at...

    Top up? Top down?

    Last weekend as I approached the Tn river bridge into Alabama something wicked my way came. Convinced that my XLR could outrun even the fastest raindrop I forged on. Three miles later I was sure glad the top only took 29 seconds to raise.

    In my case it was simply loose intake bolts. Took five minutes to tighten and the light has never come on again. I check them now at least once a month. Hope you r as lucky.
