Just a quick hello ...

I'm new to the forum, though I've had my Crossfire for almost 3 years ...

The first time I saw that TV ad for Cadilac in which the attractive brunette woman says 'it's not about the features like pop-up maps, wood accents or (etc, etc) ... the real question is, when you turn your car on, does it return the favor?" ...

I immediately said YES ... mine does

LOL ... I've grown tired of it myself ...

but, I find I don't tire of driving my Crossfire ... it's a never-ending driving pleasure ... but I don't need to tell you or anyone else in this forum about that, do I?

Welcome Steve. Glad you found the forum. Funny you should mention the Cadi commercial. There was a thread about it click here.

I suppose I might've guessed that all of the others here share all my sentiments about these cars and that many of them made the same connection to that ad as I did ...

Thanks for the link to that thread ... I enjoyed reading it.

Welcome.

I think you'll find this website just as addictive as driving your car is!

Welcome to the forum! Almost all you need to know is right here on the forum. "See" you around!

Yesterday a couple of fellows outside the Circle K (7-11) told me "Nice Cadillac" when I got out of my SRT. I just said, "Yeah, thanks".

not long after I got mine, a woman at work commented on the 'hot new car' in the company garage ... she began to describe it and I told her it was mine ... we went down to the garage so she could see it better and even after being up close inside and out, she asked "is it a Mercedes"??

no ... knock on wood ...

although replacing a burned out headlamp turned out to be a lot closer to 'major' than I could ever have imagined ...

hey, Brian

good to see you ... I've noticed what you mean about there being a lot of good, knowledgeable people here ... so far, it's been a pleasure reading all the threads ... i saw the one about a possible Crossfire meet in the area and was glad it wasn't going to be on 11/1 as was suggested ... it's MrsS' birthday and we've got plans ... looking forward to a gathering some other time ...
