    2008 XLR-V, Black Raven/Ebony, 25K miles

    The car is bone stock, including the "Supercharged" lettering on the doors. Only "modifications" are that addition of a Parrot device which allows hands-free phone use and Bluetooth connectivity so you can stream music from your phone, and the remote controlled electrically operated front...

    IGL Kenzo Ceramic Coating

    I got lucky when I finally found my V. It had 23K miles, and a remarkably blemish-free body. When I picked the car up at a Cadillac dealer in Ohio in January it was zero degrees. The car was outside waiting for me, and I just paid and hit the road...too cold for a rigorous inspection. But...

    Weather strip...again

    No luck with Krytox, Gummi Pfledge, Back-to Black or Zaino tire dressing. The problem is the residual coating, apparently applied at the factory, that gave the weatherstrip a glossy appearance has come off in many places. I suppose, like some others, I'll have to just scrub the rest off...then...

    Tiny dents in the aluminum console bezel

    I have a fairly minor issue with the aluminum trim near the shift quadtrant. I have a handful of minor indentations, almost as if the PO had a nervous habit of tapping a pen or something on the aluminum trim. I looked at trying to get a replacement bezel, but can only find the whole console...

    Help! Retractable License Plate Kit

    Finally Got it Working... I bought this retractable license plate holder from West Coast Corvette. Its kind of rickety, and came with the cable cut, so I had to buy some fishing leader wire and re-do it. Also, the hardware pack was incomplet so I had to use my own mounting screws. But, in the...

    2007 XLR-V on Barrett-Jackson

    Actually $49,500.00 all in.....Very strong price, in my view. I've felt for a while that V's might have reached a floor and this price seems above what I would have thought retail for this car. But, its hard to take too much away from a single BJ auction price. I suppose the sale of the white...

    '08 XLR-V, 10K, $69,999.00

    Nice car, but maybe a bit optimistic on the asking price. Two will be auctioned this week at BJ in Scottsdale; an '07 Xenon Blue/Tan, and an '09 White/Black with very low miles...less than 10K, I think.

    Parrot Bluetooth Interface Device

    Howdy, When I picked up my car last week, I was pleasantly surprised to find a Parrot already installed. I didn't know much about the device, but have been investigating since arriving back home. I believe what I have is the MKi9000, but there is no small LCD display...at least not now. There...

    The Cadillac Northstar V8 - A History

    I ordered this book and read it in pretty much one go...very interesting. A lot of the historical info in the first few chapters will be familiar to Cadillac guys (and girls). The most interesting thing to me was the fact that the Northstar's grandaddy was the Corvette LT5, developed jointly...
