After five years, 75K miles and four accidents it was time to wave good-by to my Silver-Blue 04 Coupe, #01145. Everyone of the people that ran into it said, "I didn't see you." Well I got one now that they can't miss; it's a bright red 08 Coupe, #75601. Found it at a Chrysler dealer in Lompoc California, California Dodge/Chrysler. They had 25 Xfires in stock! Six
The new one is cool, I can now read the radio dial and it doesn't pop out of 1st gear. The one drawback though, is that its an auto, never had anything but sticks in 48-years behind the wheel. I guess I can learn how to use it?
Most unfortunately, I picked "Red" up on Aug. 1 and the dealer went out of business on Aug. 5; guess all those Xfires were to much of a drag on his flooring account. Anyway I got a killer deal along with the forever power-train warranty.
Only change I shall make is to paint the windshield trim, the silver looks way off with the red body color!
Wish me luck.
