Talking Picking up my Crossfire tomorrow! Woohoo!

I found this great forum a few weeks back and have spent a lot of time reading almost every thread on here since then. Finally decided to purchase my new '06 Aero Blue Limited Coupe based on the wealth of information I found here--and the sexy lines of the car itself. Tomorrow is my birthday and this is the best present I've ever bought for myself. Thanks to all of you for helping me make this decision. I'm looking forward to meeting up with you and your Crossfires soon. If any of you ever find yourself on I-91 or I-84 in CT, give me a honk and a wave!

A Crossfire for your birthday is a terrific gift.
You will have one little thing you can't get rid of though.
It's been called "Perma-Grin"
You get it every time you look at or drive your new Crossfire.
Welcome to the forum and enjoy the new car !! Gary

You're in for a treat! My b-day was last month and I also bought a xfire, I've put a thousand miles my first week, it's that much fun to drive. I live in Wesport, CT I'll make sure to give you a if I ever see you on I-91.

I will probably never drive the 91 or the 84, but I still want to welcome you! Enjoy your new Crossfire!

Hey everybody! Thanks for the welcome--I have to admit to being a lurker here for the last couple weeks. Now that I have the "perma-grin" attached to my face from just driving the blue beast home from the dealer, I don't plan on lurking any longer.

I appreciate all the well-wishes you've sent me since last night. Thank you very much; it's been a great day!

I'm not sure how this picture posting thing works here but I'm going to give it a shot.

Welcome! And, congrats on your b-day and new ride. Ours were both b-day presents although she would say more like mid-life crises.
Enjoy your xfire!

A little off topic, but you can put the hood straight up vertically also, there's a button on the hood strut you push in. Since i discovered that I kinda have this OCD attack when I see a pic of one with the hood up halfway.
