Welcome to the forum, you'll love your car and all the great info you'll find here. As a pretty new member myself, I advise you to go through past threads and find out as much as you can about your new Xfire, especially the Technical Service Bulletins that apply to the '04 model. Our car has a great pedigree being based on the MB SLK 320, built in Germany by Karman Coachworks and wearing maybe the nicest skin on the road.
I'm wondering, since Binghamton gets winter like we do in Toronto, are you planning on driving in the snow?
