    replacing roof tonneau cover actuator

    Astonishing You amaze me CC! I have been following you on both the Cadillac forum site and this one since I bought my car and am always amazed at your grasp of the technical intricacies of these incredible machines. Between you and Bruce we will all have the luxury of telling the dealers...

    Ride Captain Ride

    The operators were very kind in guiding me onto their craft. Never scraped but would not try to load onto it at low water. By the way CP, the Cherohala Skyway is a truly magnificent ride. In the motorcycle touring days we used it often for one very important reason to bikers. The terminus...

    Ride Captain Ride

    What a top down day in America's most beautiful state...Tennessee! (It was 83 with 38% humidity and crystal clear bluebird skies.) One of only two operating ferries in the state is less than 20 miles from our lake house so I dropped the top and went for a cruise. The first pic is staging at...

    Am I wrong Compadres?

    I have been thinking long and hard about why Cadillac quit building a car I love so much. Here's a quick analysis... Buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy of John Mccormick's book XLR and see why these cars will become very important in the future. Here is the real deal: 1. The XLR was designed...

    Update on different DIC service messages

    Something to Ponder Before you Squander Might I add my recent experience with code talking for what its worth. In response to a 'service engine soon' message recently from both Northstar and my DIC I took my car to my longtime friend who owns a very successful shop in my hometown. I told...

    Critical Situation Alert!

    This post may be redundant since I posted it on another thread earlier. The rather esoteric subject of that thread may not have caught your attention so I am resubmitting this warning to all owners. It could happen to you! Be aware that we now live in the 21st century where very little is as...

    programming universal home remote

    Critical Warning for All Owners! Be aware that we now live in the 21st century where very little is as it seems. Unbeknownst to me while driving through Clarksdale, Ms. Saturday getting my monthly blues fix I inadvertently had left Siri active on my Iphone. When I asked my car to locate a...

    Fuel gauge stuck at 2/3 full

    The 'unmitigated' disaster resulted from a stuck gauge level on the regular instrument panel. So I relied on my 'range' readout on the DIC which showed 83 miles until empty. I decided to push on to the next exit 7 miles away by incorrectly trusting the DIC reading. The car literally shut...

    Fuel gauge stuck at 2/3 full

    This very problem resulted in an unmitigated disaster for us last Christmas Eve outside of Nashville in 18 degree weather. If not for Onstar and the Williamson co sheriff's department it could have been very serious. I went back to the very beginning on every XLR site available and found that...

    New guy here just pulled the trigger!

    I bought my last vette in 1998. Traded it in 2000 for a 78 ferrari 308 that never gave me any real problems but was very hard to maintain. Tuneups ran almost $600 and i had to take it 275 miles to get it done. Traded it in 2003 for a Mercedes 500. Very nice but, like the Ferrari, was...

    She was driving a XLR!

    The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there were 3 finalists: Two men and a woman. For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your...

    Video: 2008 Cadillac XLR Godfather Roadster

    Holy Mostaciolli! That is stupendously stupid...morbidly misogynous...fantastically foul. Design was obviously by Meg Ryan's plastic surgeon. Just think how many starving children in China would like a Xenon Blue XLR and a box of Bit-O-Honeys. And BTW...as an avid Jeopardy viewer for almost...
