An open letter from a Crossfire. Thank You.
It's not often that we cars gets to express gratitude to our owners, and sadly for many of us, gratitude is one of the last things we feel. Not all cars get the Crossfire treatment. In fact, many are highly neglected. But not us Crossfires.
Being born a Crossfire was a gift of fate. How fortunate we are.
Our owners lavish praise upon us daily. They talk about us to friends, acquaintances, and sometimes strangers, without end.
They treat us with the greatest care and love, buying us gifts regularly.
They maintain us the way we are supposed to be maintained, changing our oil well within the time/distance parameters and feeding us properly.
They take extra time to understand us and all of our nuances. Sometimes I think there isn't a part of me my owner hasn't inspected or a feature my owner hasn't learned about.
Our owners go out of their way to park us out of harm's way. They walk those extra steps just to keep us in showroom form.
They worry about us when we show the slightest sign of illness and find speedy remedy when needed.
Many of my northern "brothers" never even set a tire outside during the winter's harsher weeks, staying safe and secure indoors.
We are pampered with frequent baths and waxings. No nook or cranny is left untouched. Once in a while, many of us even get to go to the Clay Bar Spa.
We love it when you take us for a long drive, testing our abilities to smoothly glide with speed and grace, while exhilarating you with our sure-footed ability to handle the curves.
Our owners formed a collective group on the internet to share resources, information, and fun stories about us. Talk about feeling special, we sure do!!
Even after months and years owning us, our owners still look at us with a gleam in their eye. When they get behind our steering wheel, a smile still comes to their faces.
It was love at first sight for both of us, and the feeling hasn't faded a bit for either of us.
We may not be perfect, but we try to be everything our owner desires. And we couldn't ask for better owners.
To all of our owners, let this Crossfire speak for all of us... Thank you!!!

Re: An open letter from a Crossfire. Thank You.
Thank you for that wonderful write-up! What creativity to have put that much thought into something that well, right on the money!
And for the one asking about naming the car - that was actually done by an elderly gentleman I see whenever I get coffee at DD... he calls it Yellow Bird. I asked him why that name and he said "yellow because she's yellow" and bird because, quote unquote, "it flies down the road, doesn't it?" I took him for a spin the next morning so now whenever he refers to me/her with that name, I feel special. (ok, he is a step grandpa, what can I say?)
