Well it was a long and conflicted process, but I finally made the decision to sell my 92 Renegade and get something different.

I've been shopping and test driving for weeks and ended up on either a Z3 or and SLK but I could only afford older models and so very many of them seems to have been in accidents for whatever reason.

Finally, the Crossfire appeared on my radar. It was considerably newer, so pretty and shiney, and I learned... It was a rebranded SLK! (Kinda.) Perfect!

I skimmed your forums a bit, and stared at the pictures, and tossed and turned late at night thinking about it. On Saturday I finally went to go take a test drive and instantly fell in love. Unfortunately a bit of an impulse purchase. Too late for the prepurchase inspection but I'm definitely scheduling one first thing Tuesday to get a better picture of what I've gotten into, and start a relationship with a good shop.

So now I'm the very proud owner of another unique vehicle. I'm so excited to get a chance to take it out to the Cascades for a little driving.

Very happy to get to join you all in your enthusiasm for my new toy!
