    Race Ramps

    I bought a pair of 12000 Rhino Ramps several years ago that raise the car up 7" for less than $50. I needed them to be able to get under my Vet for oil and filter changes.

    Custom Paint or not?

    I saw a 50's Chevy pickup the other day that had a black hood and fenders that ended in black flames and the rest of the truck was a fantastic Candy Apple Red. A REAL Candy Apple, deep, shiny red. If I had the bucks I would paint my "Arrest Me Bright Red" 88 Vet that color. Your XLR is red...

    Cadillac ATS-V to sport a Twin-Turbo Charged 500hp 3.2L V6?

    I believe they are both 500hp and I'm sure the Caddy will cost a whole lot less. I saw a GTR on the track during an Alpha club driving day a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't a whole lot faster than a couple of Vettes, C5's. My statement that the Caddy will give it a run was ment as a run for...

    Montana Rocket Run 2014

    We're all signed up at the Crown Plaza. All that's left to do is enjoy the ride(s). We've never been to Montana or Yellowstone. We're looking forward to this event and we'll be able to buy Sandy that beer that I owe her! :D

    Cadillac ATS-V to sport a Twin-Turbo Charged 500hp 3.2L V6?

    That will give Nissan's V6 a run for a much lower price.

    Custom Paint or not?

    These cars are selling for dirt cheap compared to the MSRP. If they are going to become a collector's car they are going to have to be very very low mileage and the lowest I've seen so far on this site is 7500 miles and the owner flip flops on should I sell, no, I'll keep it, no maybe I should...

    2004 XLR Floormats

    I bought a set years ago for my "other" plastic car, they are used everyday. I can't help stepping on the logo when I get into the car and they have lasted a ton of years. I have a set of factory mats. I cover these with a set of mats from Costco that will hold a ton of fir needles. Having...

    Oil Pressure

    My pressure jumps up to 60 and/or65 psig when I first start up. Tonight it was 61F in my garage when I started up and the pressure was at 65 or so. I've seen it at 60 on startup when it was 45F. My DIC reports 28% oil life left. FWIW my 88 Vette's oil pressure is almost exactly the same as the...

    Amazing 49 plane flyover...

    Thanks for posting. It was nice to hear the anthem sung correctly without all of the added hip hop or jazz or rap versions that you hear on TV from races ect. The flyover looked great!

    Site Update: Supporting Memberships are now available

    I for one like the logo. It's colorful and adds something extra and eye catching to draw your eye to the avatr. If a vote is taken I vote to keep it as it is. I pressed the button to add the $26. I pressed order and the only way I could pay was by pay pal. I don't use that company. Is there...

    Electrical Gremlins Appears dead

    I use that code at night pn long trips so my wife has something to look at. She isn't crazy about driving at night because she says she can't see anything. This satisfies her "fix"! I also put in the other feature that allows you to use all of the nav. features while the car is in geaqr and...

    Electrical Gremlins Appears dead

    It appears our XLRs do NOT like electrical items installed in it. The previous owner of mine had all kinds of top problems and a few other problems and most, the top, were caused by a breathalyzer that was installed that I would guess he had to blow into before the car would start. (and most...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    The pictures of the tires on the stand at the show do not have much rubber between the rim and the road or is it just the picture? Looks like there isn't much more than 4 inches. They don't ride rough? I don't have run flats, my XLR came with new non-run flat Mich Pilots installed by the...

    Warranty history and vehicle builds

    Bruce thanks a lot for the info on my XLR. I don't have a door sticker that shows the build date or one that shows the tire size and pressure. I have no idea where these stickers went. This is the first car or truck that I've had that doesn't have these stickers. The info you sent to me...
