BRADLOCK,
I bet we all sound like a linch mob, and I know that the people on this forum for the most part are really nice people. I guess it's because you registered and posted such a negative sounding post(your only 1 thus far, I might add) all in 1 day, it put me on the defensive! Hopefully you'll get over most of those things that you deem failing in the design and come to appreciate all the good things about the car!
I wouldn't mind hearing about some of your good adventures with your Crossfire! Where are you from?
