    2017 CTS Review

    I returned my XT5 loaner this afternoon and was given a base four-banger turbocharged CTS until the work is completed on my car next week. This section has been dead for two years, so it's time to add something! The first thing that comes to mind might shed some light as to why Cadillac's...

    Low-Cost, XLR-Compatible, Tech 2 Scanner

    Maybe you've asked questions and read the replies that often close out with, "You'll need a Tech 2 scan tool to find out for sure. . . . " I know I'm guilty of closing out with that phrase more than once. While the real-deal Tech 2's can cost an arm and a leg, clones can be a cheaper...

    Quick Fix for Intermittent and Dead Door Switch Pads

    Nothing in life is guaranteed, but this simple fix may make someone's life a little easier, which allows me to pay it forward for all the tricks many of you have taught me over the years we've enjoyed all things XLR together on this forum. Too many XLR repairs cost an arm and a leg; I think...

    CT6 Release Delay

    From all of the preliminary reviews, the new CT6 looks like a winner. It's priced low, ($54k for a base model) and can be optioned with many innovative features, topping out in the low 90's.

    DashCam Installation

    This thread is for anyone considering adding a dashcam to their cars. I did a lot of research beforehand, trying to get the most bang for the least buck. You can pay more, (or less) but the unit I chose is a good compromise between price and performance, and is considered a best buy at the...

    Average XLR Price Comparison for March 2015

    A month ago, I was curious how the XLR was holding up price-wise and needed an excuse to practice with Excel chart-making. I went to Autotrader and pulled nation-wide prices for each model year and averaged them. The majority of the vehicles were listed with dealers instead of private sellers...
