With all the recent snow, how have you managed with your XLR?

Fantastic power numbers ... I'd be very thrilled!

binka - I was hoping you did all four tires ... Thatz a smart move. BTW- Did you purchase a second set of rims or did you use the originals?

Impressive work, Rob! :worship:

Couple suggestions for winter driving: 1) For starting off in the snow, I usually do the shifting from second gear (less wheel spin and more traction than in first gear). If you leave the trans in manual mode (like 5th), I believe it will automatically start off in 2nd (someone correct me if I'm...

Saying a prayer for you and your family ...

Soundz kool, Rob ... Looking forward to this addition!

Just wondering ... Did you get the regular tires or opt for the run-flats? And later on, please give us some feedback on the M3's.

As I was reading about your sad ordeal, I was wondering if there was consideration for a toe to thumb transplant ... I now see that is a possibility. I've seen good success with this operation ... Something to contemplate for the future. Wishing you a speedy recovery ... Get well soon!

I've seen only a few in New England ... Far less when I'm driving in the snow!

I have a 2006 XLR and I've driven it thru two New England winters so far ... I plan to put the snow tires (on stock rims) on shortly for this upcoming winter season. To me, the stock tires are crap ... Had them on a previous car (Acura RL) and disliked them on that vehicle too. That car was AWD...

mtrocket- Excellent piece of venting!!! When I was a kid, I had to learn to tie my own shoes ... There was no Velcro back then. And we watched MTV via candle light because there was no electricity in our house. :confused:

I guess I'm just a lucky guy. ;) Thanx for the response.

Thanx, Bruce. If only I could find some old whale oil ...

Bruce- Do you have any idea if this newer fluid is recommended in older (60's) Corvettes too?

YIKES ... Does anyone else hear "taps" playing in the background? :bawling:

The Volant is a good system ... Especially for your V. In my base XLR, I chose the K&N and have been very pleased. I'm sure it would work well in the V too.

Make that 5.5 to love ... Game, set & match.

I just hope he is a car guy ... Good luck, Gene!

It was very sad to hear about the passing of Elfi. Back in the early 90's, I surprised our local (Massachusetts) Corvette club by getting Zora & Elfi to accept an honorary membership (I thought it was a kool idea). Anywho- She returned the signed applications with a very nice note. The funny...
