Just thought I'd post some pics. I live in st Augustine but not in the old historic Part. I'm not in a evacuation zone I'm in the area of white. Everything outside has been either packed Inside or in garage

times like this I wish my mom and I had a 2 car garage instead of the single car garage

Wow how fast things change. 5 days ago I thought your side on Fl was going to get beat up and our side (North Port/Port Charlotte) side was just going to to get a good blowing. Now it has all changed and our side is going to get a whooping. Our home is built to withstand Florida storms and has full hurricane shutters and doors and not officially on the flood zone...... but who knows? I am safe in Ontario Canada and what will be, will be. No one in Florida is going to be spared part of the storm so hunker down and hope for the best Hawkeye.

I think the only part that MIGHT be safe is the fl/bama line
But I'll help by sending prayers to your home.

Jose is gone & Maria isn't here yet, so had a chance to enjoy a gorgeous, perfect temperature fall day with the top down. Enjoyed getting to listen to my iPod for the first time in the XLR. Those old speakers manage to sound pretty good! Plus had children running out of buildings to tell me "nice car," guy at a stop light asking me what model year, & a convertible Camaro giving an easy going chase (I even get some of that with my CTS coupe, wondering if anything close to that happens with current gen Caddies ...)

The other day I took mom to get a procedure done. So when I went to get the car and drive it around to the pick up point. Security officer came up and was surprised at how clean I kept mine. He said must be garage kept. I said yeper

Finally! After 2 solid weeks of constant rain/mist (thought maybe I'd been teleported to London), we have crystal clear blue skies, 75 degrees, & 0% rain forecast. Hitting the streets with the top down & working out my new stereo! Life is GOOD!

Had mine out all week/month. Top down driving mid 80’s but temps this week are dropping to mid 70’s cool evening with lows in the mid 50’s. We have lost our humidity here in northeast Florida

Today was a picture perfect day. Upper 60’s-low 70’s. Low humidity so I went to the bank and then got hungry. So I went down to tropical smoothie just down from the bank. Had lunch there and drove home. Great day for top down driving before

the only bad thing was the guy decided to go smoke right next to my car.

Well sorry if I’m rubbing it in but here in north Florida it turned out to be near to mid 80’s. So I moved the xlr out and was going to put away some things that were on the floor and table areas. Decided to take advantage of the nice weather and drive the car around topdown. Then decided I would add some (non drivable) decorations to the car.

. By the time I finished driving around,got everything put away and the car back in the garage. It just started to lightly ️. Boy can I time this weather or what.

Hawkeye,
Looks awesome and great timing. My Blue Baby is still at the spa The weather has been nice here in central Texas... so i have been missing running her with the top down. But i think the spa time will be worth it.

Happy driving,
Dave

Well I was watching the news last night and looks like I’m getting out of town at the right time. My mom and I leave for a 2 wk cruise [emoji568] on dec 8th. We return just before Christmas [emoji319]. So looks like topdown driving will be coming to a end for awhile. I don’t know how cold it’ll get here. Hopefully the seas will be not so rough. I’m meeting friends from another ship on a island. ships have to use their tender boats to transport people back and forth from the island. Praying I’ll be able to meet up with them.

Well here in Florida (atleast north Florida) we are expecting a cold front to come in next week. So since I’m leaving for a 2 week cruise next week. So today I took advantage of the nice weather. Here are some pics of my outings

. Before I leave next week I’ll make sure to quench her thirst and put the tender on her.

Yesterday it was nice not to warm and not to cool. I had to go run and top up the gas tank so I dropped the top and ran to the station. The next thing I know is I’m 30 miles north enjoying the weather and the ride. Happened to run into another Xlr guy but was driving a srx. Read post in daily chat.
Today’s weather was total opposite. Cooler and gusty windy

 

[XLRATING]

Hope all our friends out in the Midwest flood region are safe and dry. Chad & Rogene are two I can think of - hope you are ok & nothing has floated away! The flooding out there sounds bad for all!

 

[XLRATING]

Our weather here has been swinging back & forth between 40 & 70. Today happens to be 70 & actually dry (usually in the winter warm = wet), so the V could get a run in despite summer tires. I took it for a long run with a few WOT’s, then Mike took it for a shorter run with more WOT’s. Might have hit triple digits. So it got a balanced work out today!

I’ve driven a fair number of cars, including different V’s, & the XLR-V still has the smoothest acceleration of all, whether you get on the throttle hard or easy. Fun!

 

[hawkeye372]

Even though I was feeling a little under the weather these last couple weeks. I did however manage to take the X out. No top down though because it’s been really windy. This whole week is looking like nice weather

. But kinda bummed since I’m not really up to any top down driving. Being that I’m not 100 percent well.
