Mine was a retirement gift to my self and while I have yet to get to a big GTG, I have made many new friends at the car shows I have attended, not to mention the mantle full of trophies. Saying that, I have one regret, I got divorced just before I purchased the Crossfire [It was not my desire to get divorced] and I can't help thinking how much fun we could have had together going to these events. Funny thing is, my ex now lives, for the time being, in apartment consisting of one bedroom and a living space over the garage. I envy those of you who share your joy with someone special, it makes it all the more enjoyable.
