Another newbie
Hi,
I joined a few days ago and never introduced myself.
Hello, I'm Dan. Originally from NYC and the Jersey Shore, moved to FLA last year and just bought my wife an '04 last week.
Modifed muscle cars (Camaro, GTX, Malibu SS454) and raced them back in the 60's and early 70's, then went thru a long love affair with Italian sports cars, Fiats, Alfas and Lancias. Came close to buying a Ferrari once but 'cooler heads' prevailed.
In the 90's I started in with MB's, mostly used and one new. A 560SEL was the biggest and fastest one of the lot, a great car.
But this Crossfire is the first real 'machine' we've had in the garage in a while.
I'm in awe of the knowledge and imagination of the guys on this Forum. i plan on mostly keeping my mouth shut and absorbing data.
Can't do much to the '04, it's hers.
But I could always get another one, couldn't I?

But really there isnt much that we need to do tot these cars because they are great right out of the box!
Now on that getting your own, you may just may get pulled in that direction soon!
Either way welcome and while Stogey may feel that the reds are the fastest, we folk in the SSB color are the best looking cuz these cars are made for Cruzin!
LOL!Either way they all really look good and you cant go wrong with an xfire!
Welcome,
