    Help! 2004 XLR Ignition switch

    Fob I wish I had a picture of my key ring but here goes: skinny key ring that lets you put your fob & other keys on it along with a hook that closes and opens. This way you can clip this on your belt loop. Never has my car not opened except for hand car washes that throw your keys on the floor...

    tires I would agree with you on twenties front and rear and not run flats which are hard to find in twenties anyway. I have an extra matching tire that I put in the trunk just in case when going out of state, but doesn't leave much room for luggage. I've taken four trips from Southern Cal. to...

    End of an Era

    Condolences Knowing the area you live (Spring Hill) where the DWD (dead while driving) :(are on the road but don't know it, I'm not the least surprised. I know the turmoil you went through letting your first one go, buying the Vet, then returning to the V again so I offer my condolences.

    CUSTOM WHEEL GALLERY: XLR/XLRV

    Yep You're right on all accounts, plus that era is long gone but it did have it's run. My 69 Cobra Ram Air Mustang was one of the first one and that's 44 years ago.......damn, that's really a good run. The dingle dong balls across the top of windows, hula gal on the dash, fender feelers...

    XLR info...good stuff

    Thanks Thanks Cubby, sure wish that Denso hadn't decided to leave us in the cave with Cadillac after 09. I can still hear management (ringing in my ears) telling us in Bowling Green in 08 that "We have no designs to consider that we will be terminating the XLR any time soon". Six or eight...

    Help! starting this project

    Starting this project I for one would like to see pictures as this project continues and also the end result, but not this end result. Based on your posts, you two guys know more about tires and rims than Henry Ford or Goodyear and I mean that with all sincerity. I have been to the other side...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    That's good to know, moving to 20" rims makes the car look so much better. I ordered four new sticky Dunlop's today and will have them installed tomorrow for a total of $680, even though I have another years worth of tread, I notice the hardness of three year old tires, especially for grip come...

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    255/35/20" tires Way back in this thread I gave erroneous info on tire size and need to set the record straight so others will not be mislead. I reported that I had 275's on my V but in fact I meant 255/35/20" and any taller or wider would tear up the inside of the inner liners in the rear...

    Trouble filling my XLR with gas

    Fill tank fast You guys always get it right no matter how long it takes :laugh:I learned a long time ago to turn the handle to 12 O'clock, click it on fast and fills every time without spilling really quick. If I'm not adjacent to the pump and it wants to slip around, I just lean on...
