- 2006 XLR V InfraRed/Shale 18.5K mi 11/28/14
One year ago today, my XLR V brought new life back into this 66 year old body. Yes, another Junior Senior Citizen that took the leap. In this case, a leap of faith that the XLR would not spend much time at the stealership. I only drove 1,543 miles over those 12 months. Mainly to enter car shows. My favorite, Caffeine & Exotics in Atlanta, of course. Click on below. In fact, Phil105 would agree, he's a participant as well, but he's not in this picture. I'm the dirty old man to the right next to the best color V, even though it's 3 years older than the other one.

Below is what was done over those 12 months of ownership.
1) So blinded on the day of purchase, I didn't notice one of the wheels had a little curb side rash. Minor believe me.
2) Found Liberty Mutual Auto Insurance was 46% less than USAA (member for 45 years)
3) Added the following for now:
Wind Restrictor, Cadillac Towel seat covers, Personalize license frame (2006 XLR V , An Old Man's Cadillac)
4) Add ons in the future:
New Tires after 24K miles, 20in. Chrome rims, & Yellow Calipers
5) Averaged 16.3 mpg & NO SPEEDING TICKETS. Avg 110mph on the Thunder Road Runs
6) Haven't had a need to visit the stealership for any maintenance repair issues. Still have my fingers crossed when hitting the starter button.
7) Time to take it for a ride on its Anniversary with the top down. 65 degrees in Atlanta today, Adios.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone and HAPPIER MOTORING in your XLRs !!!
