Congrats on the purchase of your Crossfire. Sounds like you got a great deal. Funny story about the friend that won't learn to drive a manual t. Reminds me of when I bought an older 5 speed 325I as my daughters first car. When we were looking she said she absolutly could not learn to drive the stick. When it appeared in the driveway she cried. A day and a half later she was shifting like a champ.After driving to school for two days the gas gauge had not moved off full. She proudly told me her car had not used any gas yet.LOL
