The vast majority of drivers - no matter what car - are just out their driving and enjoying the machine that captured their imagination and wallet, going to the dealer doing the maintenance - everyday life for Pete's sake - sorry Pete wherever you are.
Stormbird,
I beg to differ with you. I have been driving and owning cars since 1966. Never once have I experienced all the problems I did with #2815 within the first few weeks of ownership.. "All" cars do not have the problems some of us have experienced.
Yes, I found this board because I was having a problem with my transmission and yes this type of forum does tend to enlarge a problem. I have made my share of complaints and gave my share of praise. That is what this forum is for... talking and sharing info on our Crossfires, good or bad, but mostly good. Others who are researching the car can come here and find out the good and bad points of the car and make up their minds.
Still, with all the problems a lot of us had we wouldn't trade our Crossfire... me included. :wink: :wink: :wink:
