Default Re: An old Bronco sounds better.

I kind of semi-store my Crossfire during the winter and keep the full insurance year round. If it's cold and clear and no salt or salt dust, I take it out. Evey week I start it and let the engine oil get hot I put it in gear to circulate the tranny oil and move the car so it won't get flat spots on the tires.

I have a '02 Sierra 4WD to drive in the winter and it works out fine. It's a buyers market on any 4WD vehicle so you should be able to fine plenty.

One advantage to using your Crossfire very little in the winter is that it a real treat to get it out in the spring. It's like getting a new car again. Too bad you guy's in warmer climates can't say that.

I've got a real problem now. My assistant's car blew a head gasket and she can't afford to replace it and I have to take her home every night after work for about 4 weeks. That's OK with me in that I don't mind helping her out except this is my favorite time of year to take the Crossfire to work, and go home with the top down, 60 to 70 degrees. I can't take her in the Crossfire because she doesn't fit. She's about 6'1" and weighs about 325. She barely fits in my Sierra. I wonder what people think when they see us together. Skinny white guy with a very large black woman. We make quite a pair.

Looks like I'm going to robbed out of Fall in the Crossfire.
