I know you've had "the talk". You think that since you're <insert age> you have the experience to back up whatever you tell your minor. Without protection, you can catch something. But no, they know everything and you're just stupid. Well, my car is 3 years old and I told it, keep the spark plug boots on. So it probably caught something from a Ford.

Best way to get rid of the XM wart... I can search but would rather make a joke first.. LOL

Well, no, you're off just a little. The 09 C6s are being built and delivered now, so an 05 C6 is 4 years old. If the car you have is truly 3 years old, then it's one of a kind - an 06 C6 with an external XM antenna. Better keep it, it might be valuable some day.

The best way is to trade your car for a new 09. No warts! I will admit it is also the most expensive but what the heck, it's only money.........

remove the headliner and un-do the stuff connecting the wart . . .then unbolt it and take the car to the body shop to fill and paint the two holes.

It'd be a great time to paint the halo black . . . .

or, to continue in the joking spirit, why not just take a grinder and grind it down?

then, as has been posted in the orange-peeled, powder-coat thread, just use progressively finer sanding discs to get that smoothhhhh, glasslike finish.....

fill in hte holes with silly putty, and no one will look up there!
