Default I join your ranks!

Hi everyone. I wanted to post and say that I am now a proud owner of a Crossfire. I picked it up today and I've been having fun driving it around and giving my family rides. It's an '04 Black Coupe with 35,000 miles, and it is definatly one dead sexy car.

Two weeks ago, I never would have guess I'd end up with a Crossfire, especially since I was looking for something like a Volvo sedan. But when I tagged along with my family while they for a car for my brother, I happened upon this Crossfire in the same lot as they were taking another car out for a drive, and here I am. I didn't get an awesome deal on it, but I feel that both me and the dealer walked away happy. I must say, it is a huge difference from driving a 2000 Durango (especially the blind spots, those are pretty scarey actually), but I do welcome not having to deal with 13mpg (my dad gets that pleasure now).

So, here's hoping I learn a lot about this car from you all and that it will serve me as well as it did my Durango.

I'm in central Florida. I know black isn't the smartest of colors to have in this heat, but I guess having it look so darn awesome is worth it. (plus the nearest other Crossfire was over an hour away in Orlando)

I paid about $13k out the door. I know I could have probably gotten it for less, but I am satisfied with the price. Plus, they threw in a new battery, brand new Nitto's, and are going to repaint the hood and roof for me (the last owner apparantly thought the hood/roof were also tables) .

My God, There is actually someone on this forum that stays up as late as I do? Or are you just a very early riser?

Looks like FP is also a night rider or an early riser.

Welcome and Congrats. I know it's a long way from Florida, but maybe you can join us at the "TMS Laps For Charity". Where else can you legally drive @ 100MPH+.
Later, Smfrycruzr

Thanks guys. I'll post up some pics later (just got it washed today). And I'll probably be joining the club (CICCI).

Hmmm...100mph... that'd be fuuuun.
