    Snake Bite XLR-V

    There ia a wall separating the "house" from the garage. The house side of the wall is finished, while the garage side will be an aluminum diamond plate wall once I am satisfied I'm done with all the wiring. The bus interior is 7 1/2 foot wide. The house section is 16' from the windshield to...

    Snake Bite XLR-V

    We took our first real trip this weekend. I had a car show I signed up for months ago and the weather had a possibility of some rain. So we decided to load the car on the bus and take it that way. I also wanted to check out Big River State Park and overnight there. Of course, we had no idea...

    Help! Cam actuator behind the timing cover

    Hopefully, you do know that replacing the cam actuator doesn't have anything to do with the oil weeping from its covers.

    2005 XLR axle back exhaust or less expensive options

    Billy Boat also sells an axle-back for the XLR. On the C6 compatibility issue, Billy Boat said the hangers are also different.

    CUSTOM EXHAUST TIP

    The tip pictured is an SLP design for C5 vettes. The year SLP discontinued it, those tips only (the axleback was what was $600+) were selling for $100. I bought one and tried to mod it to realign the edges to match our bumper, but totally botched it up. Yes, I were an engineer, but not that...

    Girls Nite Out

    The other night she was invited out for a night with the “girls.” She told me that she would be home by midnight, “I promise!” Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, she headed for home. Just as she got in the door, the cuckoo clock in...

    Went for acfun drive this morning up the "River Road" from Alton to Pere Marquette State Park and then up the park's "scenic drive". So much fun, but oh so short. Saw two XLRs on the trip: a Crimson Pearl base and a Black Raven V. We all had out tops down but could only wave as we were headed...

    Greetings From Cape Cod, MA

    Probably need to start a new thread for this topic, but I'd love to know more about that 06 V. Where it is? Who owns it? Specs? History?

    Oh yeah, there were two cars trailered in, but they both looked to be non-running and both were for sale.

    Daily Chat

    Last weekend PJ and I were coming out of an antique store in Nashville and a guy walks up to the car and asks, "Is it fast?" I humbly replied yes. Then he surprised me with his next question, "Is it quick... you do know there's a difference?" Wow, this guy was a gearhead racer like me...

    Things just aren't what they used to be

    ABSOLUTE NOT! I vehemently disagree, my momma told me so, and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind. State all the facts you can spew from that filthy mouth and I will attack you personally until you yield to my position. You can't come in here and tell these folks you're not...

    My Bluetooth and Smartphone Solution

    I'm the one who introduces this group to Ray Kawal and his vast assortment of C6 mods that also work in the XLR. In your first example the switch is imbedded in the 3.5mm socket. Plugging anything in opens the circuit switching from the XM Radio as the source to whatevers plugged into the 3.5mm...

    I believe a more appropriate analogy would be Neiman Marcus and K-Mart. :reddevil

    Help! Cadillac XLR Headlights

    I have two of these destroyed in my basement. One I didn't heat enough in the oven and cracked the outer lens; the other, I dismantled OK, but the chrome-looking surface would never cleanup to its original luster after I got fingerprints on it and resealing the outer lens did not go well. I...

    Do you see XLRs??

    There were three of us cruising around Nashville last weekend: Elwood, a silver 04, and an IR 06. We had a car show Saturday at the Opryland Mall.

    Cadillac Allante/XLR Club Annual Grand National Event, Nashville, TN 14-18 Oct 2015

    PJ and I attended the event this weekend and these guys were a just slightly older version of the Midwest Marauders. We drank, joked, drank, talked cars and trivia, drank, repeat... Notice the similarities yet? Everybody was super friendly and loved talking cars. Members were there from...
