Hi all! In 2006, I sat in an XLR at the GM track in Vegas and was in love. In April, CUBBY558's V popped up at a dealer five miles from my office. Drove it on Wednesday and tracked down CUBBY558 to chat. I was driving in on Thursday with my checkbook when the salesman called and said another salesman had just sold the car. I was not happy. That night, I found another, nearly identical car an hour away (MKehoe9999) I called and it was available. I called Mark K and chatted with him. They called the next morning and said "our mistake, it was already sold."
Something in my mind snapped. I was obsessed. I began tracking every V for sale I on any outlet I could find. By October, I'd logged 92 (!) that weren't right for me (color, price, miles) plus the right one.
Friday, I flew to Phoenix and took possession of my 2008 Crystal Red Metallic over Ebony XLR-V. I drove it 2,000 miles back to Michigan with only a few weeks until I'll have to put her away for the winter.
I've already spent hours (and hours) on the site and forum and look forward to contributing. There are several quirks in the car, so I'll be posting several questions to figure out what is normal vs something to look into.

PS You'll never figure out my moniker because I fat-fingered it when I registered. It should be MPRCTCL, the vanity plate on my other roadster.
