Welcome to the Cadillac XLR Forums!

Do you see XLRs??

Nice to see he/she left plenty of room between them, so you wouldn't have a door ding!:)
I actually saw one today! I got Scarlett-V out of storage today and took her for a 10 mile spin. Didn't want to chance any longer, had to put a current license plate sticker on it, it was expired!

Funny I did the same thing. I drove around sat. And when I got to my first destination I happened to look at my license plate and ugh oh! I left the new sticker on the fridge along with my updated insurance card. Then I was driving looking in my rear view mirror the whole time for the revenue makers to come up behind me. But made it home! Whooh!
 
Yesterday car show
Over 200 vehicles and only 1 XLR
Yes as usual just 1 Silver Platinum Roxy! Her some pictures! Enjoy!

Today, I was in Fresno, Ca and while I was on my way to a popular restaurant I saw a XLR that flew pass me. I was on the corner of Clovis and Kings Canyon waiting for the turning light to turn green. As I was in the process of turning all I could see was that it was black XLR and boy did it have a nice stance! I don't believe the driver saw me, but I sure wish he/she did. I got a chance to view the side and the rear bumper so it wasn't a 2009. Anyway, seeing another XLR made my week.:D
 
Well today the only one I saw was my red beauty. Today was a great day to be out. It was so nice that I didn't want to return home. But I had to run to chickfila so I could use my free sandwich and cookie coupon.

I also stopped at big lots where I found a collapsible chair with a top. This way I can sit in the chair furring car shows. At 1st I was going to get a sturdier chair with table. But granddaddy 05 told me that the ones in the bag fit in the area of the trunk when the top is down. This way I can drive to the shows and cruise ins topless.
Btw it was 74*F here in northern Florida. Great topdown weather.
Got home and now she's in garage. So I dusted her off and hopefully she'll be ready for sat car show in fruit cove Florida

I stop by the retired dealership today and discovered that the XLR V has now been sold. It was sold approximately five days ago or maybe two.

The reason for the "not for sale" sign was because they are no longer a registered dealership (DMV tax rules). The brother and sister who owns the retired dealership had the black XLR since 2007. Often times I would stop by and just look at the car and would keep on going but this week I found out that some gentleman who lives back east but also lives there in Los Banos frequented the dealership and finally purchase the car. Initially they wanted 60 K for the car. The sister asked me about aftermarket insurance to which I told her Costco and other companies do sell them. The 2004 XLR Silver is still there and too is for sale. It has 24,000 miles on the odometer.
 
G/F saw another sliver/gray XLR in Fresno, Ca last Wednesday with the xop down. She getting better at spotting them now and she noticed that the car wasn't a XLRV because she didn't see the "V" logo on the car.:D For me this is my second week driving the XLR, but only seen one so far. As the weather starts warming up things will change.:cool:
 
I went on a lengthy top down drive today and drove up on a red XLR. We were both heading west on I-4 toward Orlando.
The couple in the red XLR jumped off in downtown Orlando at the Colonial Drive exit.

While cruising along we exchanged "thumbs ups." No doubt we had the best looking cars on the Florida roads today!

XLR people are the best!

This afternoon

On my way home on a stretch of road with very little traffic, I saw a car coming up from behind and sure enough was a XLR. I noticed his right headlight was out, so when we came to a stop I got out and went back to tell him about his light. I asked him what year and he said 2006, was a Star Black with Shale interior. He said they never get to talk to any other owners of XLRs so I told him to check out xlr-net.com Don't know if he will find it, but I didn't have time to talk so had to make it short. Looked nice with the chrome wheels and makes me want to either get mine chromed or trade for some chrome.
 
Two XLR sightings in one day? Yes it does happen.

Yes, you heard me correctly I saw two XLR's while driving today and both of them with the same color as mine.:) It all started as I was leaving the ATM at my local bank and as I approached the highway I saw an XLR passed by going north headed into town. I figured I wouldn't be able to catch up with him because he had 15 to 20 seconds lead on me but to my surprise he caught the red light as he was about to make a left turn.

Okay, so far so good and this is where gets better or shall I say not so good? Normally I would take every opportunity to take a picture because the cars are usually passing by and I never have an opportunity to get this close but today I decided to drive up next to him side-by-side. This is where it gets interesting. So I pull up next to him and we're side-by-side. I look over to my left and he is concentrating on something or his mind is somewhere else. So, I honk my horn once, twice, and still no response.

i'm sure the lady to my right in the Lexus obviously saw two spectacular cars sitting side-by-side had to notice that plus me honking the horn. By the time I was about to make my third honk the turn signal light turned green and he proceeded to make a left turn going down the road. I sat there for second or two in total disbelief.:dunno:

I thought for moment that I should go down the block and turn around and say hello to the guy but it was close to 1030 and I wanted my McDonald's breakfast before they close so after getting my breakfast I went down the street he went down on and was looking for his car but I couldn't find so I said forget it.

However, around noon I decided to go back to the bank to make another deposit and on my way leaving the bank I saw the other driver of the same colored XLR headed in the opposite direction I was going. This time I believe it was the other XLR owner for both drivers had gray hair but this other driver was a little bit younger plus his not have the front 2009 fender. This was very odd day for me today but it did happen and I did capture one not so good-looking picture of the first encounter but like I said earlier I was hoping that the two of us could pull over and talk a bit but that didn't happen.;)


Edit: next time I think it would have been better for me to pull up behind him instead of being next to him.

Looks like you could use some of the card a few of us had made up!
I did mine at Staples I think it was like $20 for 250 I think 2 side was $40 but they was running a double special ended up with 500 for $40
