Default It was a great run!

... but it's over. Traded my '05 Base Roadster in for a 2016 Ford Mustang GT. The Crossfire was the best car I've ever known, but after over ten years and 114,000 miles it was time for something new. Here's my new baby!

If you squint your eyes ( after a 6 pack ), it almost looks like a Crossfire !

Nice car !

So you went over to the dark side with Ford. That is an interesting color, and it must be great to drive. That new 5.0 runs very well.

It was a difficult decision - not because of the Mustang (I had two before I got the Chrysler), but I never keep a car as long as I did the Crossfire - I really loved that car, but nearly 11 years of staring at the same dashboard finally convinced me. A couple of the folks that worked at the dealership are actually considering buying it... Meanwhile, I thought I'd be sacrificing handling by leaving the Crossfire, but with the independent suspension, the Ford takes corners pretty darn good. I love having 435 HP, too!
