1. I still have that rattle on the drivers door when I hit ruff spots on secondary roads (top up or down, windows up or down) I need to consult a mechanic who is familiar with the Xfire to see if it might be locking mechanism wear...that one is still up in the air.

2. I notice that the a/c puts out a very pleasant smell. It smells like some kind of cologne and I like it. Any other car I've had after 10,000 miles usually puts out a musty nasty smell until the a/c cools down and drys out those pipes. But this one starts out by putting out a very pleasant smell. I am wondering if this high dollar Mercedes based bat-mobile has a feature for the owner to apply a scent of his choice somewhere in the a/c system so those upper crust folk don't have to smell unpleasant smells while the a/c is coming up to speed...anyone know about that?

My crossfire is a piece of art. Makes me nuts...cannot imagine why it is being discontinued...
