Hi All, I have a Black Chevy SSR and I love the hardtop retractable top. I’ve been looking for a Black XLR for a year now. I've been lurking around your website trying to find out as much as I can about them, so I can make an informed decision before I purchased. Okay, so I finally did it! Here are some pics of my new toy! I purchased it from the original owner. 66K miles, Magna Flow Exhaust, V-hood, 18" Chrome wheels, new tires, new grill, new headlights, perfect paint, always garaged, complete service history by Cadillac dealership, runs and drives perfect. I love it!








See Ya!
Randy

Think about it... it should be a GREAT time...

Welcome!!! Beautiful car! I usually prefer OEM wheels but I really like yours.

More power to you for wanting black - tough to keep nice. Getting ready to tackle polishing our black V (should have named it "Demon V" for the paint), could only hope to get it looking like yours.

CONGRATULATIONS on your new acquisition!


I like a shiny black car (as long as it belongs to someone else)!


Thanks for posting your great pictures. Be sure to set up a "Garage" and enter pictures of your other vehicles.

Welcome! Great color, maybe one day mine'll shine that good.

Congrats on your new ride! Very nice looking and I'll bet you'll love your investment for a long time. Black is a difficult color to keep, but, in MY opinion, no other color comes close to embracing and enhancing the design of this car. Have fun!!

Hey All,</SPAN>

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, it’s hard to believe its 10 years old. In person the car looks brand new. It was the original owner's pride and joy, he kept it in perfect condition. The more I drive the XLR the more I like it. Its smooth fast and comfortable. It fits me like a glove. Black was the only color for me, you will see why, here are a couple of pics. First my commuter car is a 08 Chevy HHR Panel, second is my 04 Chevy SSR.

See Ya!
Randy

Welcome, beautiful XLR, looks like you found a gem! So you have named a few other rides... I am into old cars too but mostly muscle car era, but I don't know the era that your thumb nail car is. What make and model is that?

 

[randingo8]

The car in my Avatar is my 1938 Dodge Business Coupe. I have a small car collection and this is my Custom Car. It's been chopped 5", 1937 La Salle grill, hydraulic suspension front and back and much more.

See Ya!
Randy

Welcome I would think all those black cars would require so much time to keep them shining you couldn't find time to enjoy the ride. That new ride sure looks good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy my XLR. If you need help understanding anything about the XLR this is the right place to be.

Nice collection, and congrats on the XLR. That Dodge is unusual, and cool.
Bruce

edit: Just saw the Packard and the Auburn also, wow, very cool stuff.

 

[Texas Shriner]

Sweet rides! Please do tell me how you keep 3 black cars prepped - I can't even keep up with one!

 

[randingo8]

Hi All,

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone! You guys are a friendly bunch:. I'm glad everyone likes my cars.

Yes, the three black cars are a handful to keep up. The XLR and the SSR aren't driven that much, just weekends. The HHR Panel gets the worst of it, it's my daily driver/ commuter car. I end up washing it at least once a week to keep it shinny.

See Ya!
Randy
