There was a cruise in scheduled for last sat. But due to the downpour that happened here it is rescheduled for this sat. It'll be at a new church here in my area. So last Friday I spent a couple hrs spot cleaning all the waterspots off and dressing the tires and wheels. I even packed up the car for the event. So now I guess I have to do that again

I'm sharing a link that could bring back memories of our first car or cars we dreamed of owning when we were teenagers.

You might enjoy seeing your first car ad.

Find your first car or the one you drove while in high school or college; hopefully that particular car brochure is available.

Thanks for posting the link.

I'm fortunate to still own my first car, my 1966 GTO! (check out my garage)

While mom and I were at the neighborhood BBQ place, soon I see this super car show up. I said I think it's the new bmw I 8 but was only 75% sure. It had a gathering of onlookers but then shortly after the onlookers left the car split. Soon though it showed back up and I finished my meal and went over and snapped a pic or 2. It was head in so couldn't get the frontal pic. .

Nice pics. But Atlanta is like 6 hrs north of me.
Down in my area we have one called cars n coffee. I don't attend the larger one. But there are smaller groups that are closer to me. I'm attending the cruis n to the creek here in st Augustine fl on October 3rd. We have about 400 rides already pre registered or attending.
If you are free that sat. Then it'll be good to have you here with your Xlr. It'll b nice to have 2 cars representing the Xlr community. There are 4 cars here in my area. But I am really the only one (that I know of) that attends these events

That has got to be the most expensive parking lot in the country. Awesome

YES! It was pretty impressive. Army Al and I were "permitted" to park our cars in this very lot too!

There are actually two XLR-V's in the group. A black 09 and a red 0something. Some good pictures of both.

I was just watching car crazy on velocity ch. they had a ad for this nifty mini lift. It's a lift for the shade tree mechanics in all of us.

AND A NICE ONE IT IS TOO! BUT - - - I think I missed 4 of those "exotics" at Sundays' show!!

Have a problem here. The last 2 months I have been getting my Onstar diagnostic emails. Both last month and this months report said I have low tire pressure. The only thing is shouldn't the light on the dash show up? It hasn't now for the last couple times. Thank god for Onstar sending the diagnostic report to me

Hawkeyes,
You should just be able to scroll through the DIC and the pressure for each tire can be displayed. The DIC should also tell you if you get low tire pressure. I still double check men with a gauge, just to be sure.

Thanks nerkpowers I do that too. Cycle through the settings. But my tpm should display on my dash. I'll ask the dealership when I go to get the tires checked

You missed 6 since March Phil, but who's counting. Can't wait until next month. The Thunder Road Runs keeps my 66 year old juices flowing...

I'm not sure any problem you have is with the warning light (as opposed to your tire having a continual slow leak). In other Caddies I've had with a warning light for low air pressure, it doesn't come one until the pressure is critically low, like when there's 10 lbs of pressure left. Basically the light means it's at the point you need to take care of it NOW, not just that it's low. You might want to check the manual, it may say how low the pressure has to be to get the warning light.

Now, that's FUNNY, Phil.
