Uh oh... looks like I'm in trouble. Early exit polls show "Daily Drivers" ahead by a large margin. Is there any way to rig this poll??? :twisted:

Very pampered pleasure cruiser only (Retired old far 'er friend). Just got a note from Chrysler reminding me to bring in my Crossfire for it's 3,750 mile check - haven't even broken 1000 miles yet. Very pampered indeed.

It's not REALLY an 'Autostick' in the Chrysler sense of the word... it's ACTUALLY a "Touch Shift". i.e...

You can choose to equip your Mercedes (err, Crossfire ) with the optional 5-speed driver-adaptive automatic transmission. This shifter's electronic brain adapts the shift points to your driving style, to match your mood of the moment. Also, with the automatic's Touch Shift feature, you can control downshifts and hold upshifts by tapping the lever sideways.

and it LOVES to be touched!!!

Mine is not totally a daily driver. I rotate the Crossfire with my Explorer. I have a 43 mile drive, one way, to work. So to help keep my mileage down I switch cars.

The other "Babied" does not apply to my car at all! I don't believe it was ever designed to be Babied... It was designed to be driven and driven quickly. :lol:

Sorry Euro - I just can't resist a comment .... got it in August - 450 miles on it - for dates - You either 1) don't go too far on your dates or 2) have had very few dates since August!!!! Maybe if you drove your Crossfire more, you'd have more dates!!! :lol: :lol:

Tell ya, we are in western Colorado and have had a long cold winter. Things have been snowed in since Thanksgiving. With the Mag Cloride they put on the roads, I wont even think about driving the CF until it stays clear and dry for a while. Since it snowed last night again, we may have a couple more weeks to wait. We will put miles on the car this year, and will be heading to Vegas soon I hope. We have other cars to drive in the bad weather...

Well - that makes a difference!!! I thought you only used it on dates and it sat in your garage most of the time 'cause you didn't have a date!! :wink:

Be sure to let us know when you are coming to Vegas!! Might be able to get a couple of us together to go somewhere (If anyone else from Vegas would ever join in). Bet we MIGHT be able to talk AZ into coming up for a get together! 8) :lol:

or ... you could try to join our May trip in CA - not that much further than Vegas! :wink:
