It was a sad day yesterday as I waved goodbye to my Crossfire.
I've had it for 2.5 years and loved every day of ownership. I had a choice of keeping my XF or retiring one year earlier, and I chose retirement.

This week the new owner will be driving it back to California from Maryland. Lucky him.

Without a doubt this is the best forum I have ever participated in and I have loved interacting with all of you.

Goodbye and know that I will always miss my Crossfire.

 

Sorry to hear of the passing! Nice to have had the chance to know you from this. It's just a car. And when it serves you to do something else, then it's time to move on. The new owner will be really happy and hopefully take care of her. Win win all the way around. Good luck in retirement and I'm really envious!

 

That is sad.....that's like dumping your pet cat in the woods cause you're tired of feeding it , changing the liter box & giving it insulin shots twice a day......



Congrats on the retirement.....

 

Three weeks ago I had to have my dog put to sleep. Kidney failure and she was failing fast. She was only 8 years old, which is young for a 10 pound Shitzu/Poodle.

That was far more traumatic than losing my XF.

In my long life I have owned 7 Porsche's and one XF. Loved my XF more than my Porsches, which says a lot about our beloved autos.

 

LOL! And you would have experienced this feeling why? I'd guess it's the same reason as having a dog that rips up yopur house and jumps out of screened windows because of his high level of seperation anxiety. of course I'm only speculating on this.

 

Sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved dog. I have two small dogs, a poodle-Bischeon, and a full Bischeon, the Poodle mix is also 8 so I can imagine how you feel loosing her at such a young age.

On a more happy note, for me anyway, I have been retired over ten years, and, last summer was able to pay cash for my '05 black limited coupe.
I guess I have the best of both worlds, just hope my health remains good.

Good luck with retirement, and maybe soon you will be able to buy another Crossfire.

 

Good luck on the retirement, welcome to the club. keep busy and do not sit around. If you do not have a hobby get one fast or you will not be around too long.
My wife said I needed a Crossfire when I retired. I think she thought it would keep me out of her hair.

 

Of course you informed the new owner about us. Right?

 

Good luck in your retirement, and don't be a stranger.

 

I talked about our forum in my Ebay ad and the new owner checked out the forum before he bid. He was impressed and learned lots about the XF before he purchased my care.

Hopefully he will become a regular.

 

What he said ^^^^

Best wishes to you

 

Sorry you had to part with the Crossfire, and don't be a stranger at Burtonsville. Still going strong every Sunday morning just on the other side of Rt. 29.

 

Happy retirement....I have a "Boston Frise"....half boston terrior/bichon frise...she's a hoot, I'd hate to lose her....get another pet to keep you company in retirement....

 

Happy Retirement, I would have been retired now, but my company went bankrupt, PBGC took over our pension plan. Now I have to wait until I'm 60, 7 more years to go. I know what you went through with the dog. We had to have our 5 year old Shih-Tzu put to sleep on February 25th because of a herniated disc, there was nothing they could do for him. That was the toughest thing I have ever had to do in my whole life. Just like losing a family member. Anyway, don't be a stranger and maybe you can pick up another Crossfire later on.
