Hello all,
OK... was a classic car guy/builder forever, as well as motorcycles. Getting a little tired of crawling around at 57 years old. I just want to drive now. So a quick story.. My last classic (Falcon Sprint) was sold because my wife doesn't like cruzin and she doesn't like motorcycling too much either. She suggested getting a convertible so we, or she ,and my daughters could enjoy a sporty, safe, modern cruise. So I looked at Mustangs, Miatas, Solstice etc... And then I found a long lost ICON. The XLR. There are not many around here and quite honestly only know of one other. A friend I don't see much bought one at auction in Atlantic City. Kind of a rat though. Needs work. So I found one and fell in love. Bought it, drove home from two states away and here I am. A 2007 black XLR owner, 2 months in. BUT... here is my problem. I'm not letting my wife or daughters drive this...are you kidding!! So, I started out by being a potential hero but now a zero... but at least I got an XLR! Thanks for listening and all have a Happy Thanksgiving. Mark
