New Tires $1.400,-
Gas $5.000,-
Mods $800,-
Repairs $0,-
Having a driver of a Lamboghini turning his head to look at my car... having a driver in a corvette giving me the thumbs up... seeing their angry, jelous faces in those Nissan 350Z... people still (after almost 6 years) coming to my car looking and asking questions about it... being the "cool" dad when picking up my daughter from school... having 28.95 miles of pure joy each day with a big grin in my face... meeting new friends at GTGs.... PRICELESS!
Being on the motor speedway with 14 other crossfires going 100 and above...

Only 650 dollars in oil changes? Everytime I get it done it costs me 120. With 50K miles I would think you would have done more changes.
By the way, congrats! I am almost at 54K and I had the car 4 years. I drive it everyday. I have yet to meet someone that doesn't like my car (other than my fiance because she feels cramped inside... but that is her problem

Both the Coupe (61K) & the SRT (54K) STILL have not had one darn thing go bad that needed a repair.
Phenomenal cars.

Nah, I'm not worried; besides, I'll just throw some salt over my shoulder !

I always get a chuckle when they apologize how expensive this oil change is because of the amount of oil it uses . And I get the car vaccumed, all fluids checked and refilled. Service does still exist - rare, but it does

Later that day, driving my folks XF roadster down to MIA to see a buddy and a plane radared me and I got a ticket 10 miles later by a state cop who told me they used planes to catch speeders, bull$hit
Re: reached 50.000 miles today
Dealer was passing out 'Lifetime Free" oil change cards with any new car purchase. It was supposed to be the loss leader that got everyone to come back for service. He stopped doing that once he found out about the synthetic oil. I was told that I was the last Crossfire to get one. Dealership changed hands. The new guy came in and said he would honor these cards. Was PO'd to find out that I had one but he did honor it. The free oil change is cool but the look of consternation that I get from the service writer every time I present the card is priceless. It also gets a lot of laughs from the mechanics when they hear the story.
