Welcome and congrats on your new future! I have two kids in college and hope to be able to offer them the same "congrats" in a few years.
I am no expert as I've recently become a Crossfire owner as of two weeks ago. However, after many many car purchases that run the entire inventory of almost every type of car, make, and model, this is by far, the most fun to drive on wheels! It's responsive, handles like a dream, and looks great on and off the road.
Good luck with your research, and almost any thought or concern you might have about this car can be found under the "search" mode of this forum. I already have a lengthy list of add-on mods I want to do to my roadster...Lots to do and not enough time or "$$" to do it all right now! In time...in time...
