As Always! Your consistency in elevating all of our appreciation for these remarkable cars continues CC. Add the quality of your writing and the circle is complete. Beautifully explained my man. And to all of the rest of us we must understand that CC moved on and still graces us with his...

I'm in as well.

I asked about that and was told they can produce clear items. If they can't do it efficiently they will use the lens enclosure to print a perfect mold that can be cast with anything I want.

Like everyone else I have a concern about parts availability. That's why I have begun a project that MAY build your confidence. I have made an agreement with a significant institution to bypass Cadillac patents. Not illegally mind you. We are researching one-off solutions. If it all goes as...

Thanks Tim! I have never talked to you Tim. I have never come to you for service. I only know you from these posts. Rest assured if I ever need your expertise for my XLR I will pay whatever it takes to transport my 05 XLR to your shop based entirely on your frankness and honesty. I live in...

On the dash in the DIC control panel there is a light symbol between the options button and the information button. It can be easily pushed by mistake trying to make changes especially at night. Check it before you go through the dealer process. If that's the case problem solved. No expense. If...

MERRY CHRISTMAS Everybody Twas the week before Christmas When all through our land, Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand. Why the PC Police had taken away The reason for Christmas - no one could say. The children were told by their schools not to sing About Shepherds and...

Beautifully explained my man. Now if only someone would explain the 'climate change/global warming' thing as simply the whole world would sit down and shutup. Kudos with a capital K.

For all who bought your XLRs because of their remarkable design aesthetically, may I offer a design consideration you probably have never considered. Thanksgiving afternoon I was on my way back home from our Turkey Day event at the lake. The temp was 73 with no wind so I dropped the top and...

CC you still and always have astonished me. Your depth of knowledge and writing ability in light of the fact that you no longer own your XLR is amazing. If you ever leave, I'm leaving CC. As these cars age you are most valuable resource any of us have.

Maybe Wasn't the extremely rare Neiman Marcus Edition a Blue/Purple tint? I just searched for a N/M in the L.A. Times and it definitely is blue/purple. Very rare and sold originally for $85,000 list when normal models were $76,000 sticker price.

Finally... Saturday afternoon 10/17, after almost three years, I saw my first XLR on the road other than the two in my hometown. It was eastbound on Hwy 70 a few miles east of Camden, Tennessee near the bridge over Kentucky Lake. Naturally, I didn't have time to shoot a pic. It was Infrared...

After enjoying my 2005 Base for almost three years now I am continually astonished by the effusive comments made by newer buyers of the ultimate Cadillac halo car. It seems we all have the same fascination with these remarkable vehicles. That phenomenon got me to thinking. What is it about...

Two of my cars ( 2013 Hellcat and 2002 Viper SR 10) have engines with HP rating above 421 HP so a V was outside of my performance wheelhouse. I drove a V and a base before buying my 2005 Xenon Blue Base model in late 2013. The decision was based on one thing...adaptive cruise control! The...

It gives you a warning! When I experienced this problem, as posted recently, I was completely surprised. I won't be again. Since the replacement process, which included the complete system, there is a profound difference. Before it broke there was a slight bit of play in the shift lever...

Thanks Al... When I read your response on my radiator late last night I went ballistic Al. Called my longtime friend this morning to question the price for radiator replacement. Here's where the truly stupid kicks in. His tech said the radiator replacement would cost about $800. I took that...

Simple fix Liz. Mine did that once and it was a loose intake manifold bolt. Have any mechanic take off the engine cover. Two turns and its fixed. My guy didn't charge me a dime. He did in three minutes.

Kudos Cubby! Update on the trans with a loud thanks to Cubby. The broken cable is exactly what happened. I took it to my longtime genius who maintains all of my cars from street rods to a classic 70 coupe deville. In the process they discovered a leak in the radiator which I am going to...

I have never had a problem with my car until today and it's serious I'm afraid. Got home last night from a great weekend. Parked the car as usual and went inside. This morning I went out to move it into the garage. It started perfectly. But when i went to shift it in gear it didn't go. I...

As always your responses are clear, concise and very helpful CC. But this one qualifies you for another major award...great writer! Adding those final five words...'in the rain. At night.' shows cinematic prowess far above average.
