The Story of Roxy

2005 CADILLAC XLR ROADSTER RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE

By Daniel Gouker "Caddy Man Dan"

Silver Cadillac XLR

"It all started early spring of 2011. I had a 2 seated roadster convertible in mind. So we went out looking at some, but then a light went off in the brain thinking how awesome it would be to have that hardtop coupe look… that in 30 seconds turns into an awesome 2 seated roadster convertible. So then burning sensation started a search for something like that. Long and behold I landed my Roxy baby about 100 miles away down in Maryland. After checking the Kelly Blue Book price and finding that this XLR was 7k less then the book price, I gave them a call and told the dealer I wanted to come down and look at it that Saturday. He ask where I was from I told him I was about 100 miles straight up the map from them in Pennsylvania. Come to find out there was a dealership attach with them here in Pennsylvania about a half hour away. I told them that when I arrive that Friday evening after, if she is everything I expect her to be she going home with me, and she did.

It only took me to May to find King Penn Industries and order an awesome WindRestrictor for her, then a few months later a cop pulls me over for installing blue LED bulbs in my license plate (BTW that’s a NO NO here in PA.) to match my cool blue WindRestrictor he then mentioned about the WindRestrictor being blue, but the policeman didn’t say it was illegal, but I just decided to purchase the 7 multi color anyway so I can RED as my third brake lite……….GLAD I DID! WE LOVE OUR KING PENN WINDRESTRICTOR AND ALSO DOOR SILLS!"
