Cool story, but my story is the other way around, my son who drives a '98 Mustang and was thinking of getting an '04 - '05 Mustang next spring is now thinking of getting a Crossfire after driving my car.
What's funny is that we usually don't agree on much, so how cool is it that we agree that the Crossfire is a hot car and fun to drive.
I'm sure you're dad is as exited and proud as you are that he has something in common with his son.
