How old are the XF drivers?
61. My first sports car was a 56 Triumph TR3. Latest was a 05 Nissan 350Z. In addition to my XF I still have a Nissan 300ZX that I can't part with. Mid life issues no longer apply. I consider my XF the best value of any sports car I have owned. (price, performance, styling, uniqueness)
I'm 16 and got it from my dad as a first car its a black 6spd coupe and I also have a Dodge Ram 3500 mega cab diesel that I got new 15 months ago for only $35000 (my friends dad owns a dealership) and i bought it so I could pull my Malibu VLX.
I paid for the truck and the boat with inheritance so dont post any "rich boy" comments.

Thanks Bill F. I confess, gonna be double digits in October....77. I kept my '64 Stude AVANTI R-2 for 28 years, gonna do the same with my Xfire, even if I have to replace the tires. Kept the same wife for 53 years now so guess when ya got a good deal, ain't no sense in changin'. Hope all you young studs and studdesses in your early years, 30s, 40s, 50s, get to see your very own Social Security checks and not just museum relics. I worked full time for 44 years and paid my dues, so don't blame me for drying up the cash cow.
I just have to learn to turn off the Auto Pilot when I get to the twisties.
Wife keeps telling me to slow down, HEQQ, I ain't even started the car yet. To everyone that talks about how they enjoy their 'fires, drive 'em if ya gottem, and remember, car nutz are special people, and my Crossfire friends are among the very best I have associated with.

Man I wish I could have had this SRT in high school.
Might have made alot of money with a V-6 against
all those "TRUE" Muscle Cars.
As a sophomore I had a near factory perfect 65' Mustang
that cost me a whopping $700.00.
My first car was a Turbo Charged 1965 Corvair Spider. A ton of fun excellent condition which my brother bought for me for $50.00!
Blew the turbo sold for $37.00, no Sh*t.
Those were the days
Enjoy the Ride...

Thank you for your years of service to our country.
And nice Stude!!!

I'm 30 in actuality, but feel 18 when I get behind the wheel of the SRT 
Don't fret on the insurance too hard, dtogic, the pricing takes a nose-dive once you hit 25.

Just turned 61, and have had my 6-speed XF for 1 yr, 1 mo, and 1 week. 22,000 miles through heat, rain, snow and ice. What a fantastic car! You're not spoiled if you are young and own a crossfire, just smart like the rest of us.
