i can understand the fear of not driving it but i drive mine daily and i worry all the time.... i don't really worry about the car that much but i fear having to replace the aftermarket parts i got into the car. if one fateful day i do wreck my crossfire i will either buy an srt-6 or move on to another brand of cars. there is always something out there to peak your interests.

 

Agreed. If anything should ever happen to my Crossfire, God-forbid, I'll be hunting a used white CLK500 or CLK55, if the price is right (04-05 range).

There aren't any other coupes (in any make) that interest me in the price range that I need. And I know everyone says "get an SRT" but honestly my frustrations with our body-panel support have been enough to steer me away from repeating the purchase.

I like the Bimmer Z-cars, but in order to get one anywhere NEAR the price of Crossfires, it would be so desperately underpowered that I would never be happy.

 

I may be less concerned than many cause I got mine off ebay and intended to use it for autocrossing.

That having been stated, I also have insurance, have a great junkyard lawyer and that is ment in a good way, and a carry permit. Oh yeah, Iam also old and know that life is short..........
and its a car one of many...
WOODY Gotta enjoy life, cause no one else is going to do it for you.........

On the flip side:

God bless our military!







ALOHA, A GREAT DISCRIPTIVE INSIGHTFUL NARRATION OF BEING A JAR HEAD ON THE FRONT IN AFGANISTAN. INTERESTING HOW THE MARINE WATCHING THIS HAS BECOME LIKE THE TALIBAN. DE-HUMANIZING THEM SO HE CAN KILL THEM LIKE ANIMALS. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WARING WITH THE RUSSIANS AND US WELL OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS. ITS AMAZING THERE IS ANY ONE LEFT. THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION IS UNDER 15. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL PREVAIL IS TO OCCUPY THE COUNTRY LIKE WE HAVE JAPAN AND GERMANY. OTHERWISE IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A BULL-**** POLITICAL WAR.

Chiggers, Sand Fleas and Scorpions!


Froma Recon Marine in Afghanistan

From the Sand Pit it's freezing here. I'm sitting on hard, cold dirt between rocks and shrubs at the base of the Hindu Kush Mountains , along the Dar 'yoi Pomir River , watching a hole that leads to a tunnel that leads to a cave. Stake out, my friend, and no pizza delivery for thousands of miles.

I also glance at the area around my *** every ten to fifteen seconds to avoid another scorpion sting. I've actually given up battling the chiggers and sand fleas, but the scorpions give a jolt like a cattle prod. Hurts like a *******.. The antidote tastes like transmission fluid, but God bless the Marine Corps for the five vials of it in my pack.

The one truth the Taliban cannot escape is that, believe it or not, they are human beings, which means they have to eat food and drink water. That requires couriers and that's where an old bounty hunter like me comes in handy. I track the couriers, locate the tunnel entrances and storage facilities, type the info into the handheld, shoot the coordinates up to the satellite link that tells the air commanders where to drop the hardware. We bash some heads for a while, then I track and record the new movement.

It's all about intelligence. We haven't even brought in the snipers yet. These scurrying rats have no idea what they're in for. We are but days away from cutting off supply lines and allowing the eradication to begin.

I dream of bin Laden waking up to find me standing over him with my boot on his throat as I spit into his face and plunge my nickel-plated Bowie knife through his frontal lobe. But you know me, I'm a romantic. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This country blows, man. It's not even a country. There are no roads, there's no infrastructure, there's no government.This is an inhospitable, rock pit **** hole ruled by eleventh century warring tribes. There are no jobs here like we know jobs.

Afghanistan offers two ways for a man to support his family: join the opium trade or join the army. That's it. Those are your options. Oh, I forgot, you can also live in a refugee camp and eat plum-sweetened, crushed beetle paste and squirt mud like a goose with stomach flu, if that's your idea of a party. But the smell alone of those 'tent cities of the walking dead' is enough to hurl you into the poppy fields to cheerfully scrape bulbs for eighteen hours a day.

I've been living with these Tajiks and Uzbeks, and Turkmen and even a couple of Pushtuns, for over a month-and-a-half now, and this much I can say for sure: These guys, all of 'em, are Huns... actual, living Huns.. They LIVE to fight. It's what they do. It's ALL they do. They have no respect for anything, not for their families, nor for each other, nor for themselves. They claw at one another as a way of life. They play polo with dead calves and force their five-year-old sons into human cockfights to defend the family honor. Huns, roaming packs of savage, heartless beasts who feed on each other's barbarism. Cavemen with AK-47's. Then again, maybe I'm just cranky.

I'm freezing my *** off on this stupid hill because my lap warmer is running out of juice, and I can't recharge it until the sun comes up in a few hours. Oh yeah! You like to write letters, right? Do me a favor, Bizarre. Write a letter to CNN and tell Wolf and Anderson and that awful, sneering, pompous Aaron Brown to stop calling the Taliban 'smart.' They are not smart. I suggest CNN invest in a dictionary because the word they are looking for is 'cunning.' The Taliban are cunning, like jackals and hyenas and wolverines. They are sneaky and ruthless, and when confronted, cowardly. They are hateful, malevolent parasites who create nothing and destroy everything else. Smart. Pfft. Yeah, they're real smart.

They've spent their entire lives reading only one book (and not a very good one, as books go) and consider hygiene and indoor plumbing to be products of the devil. They're still figuring out how to work a Bic lighter. Talking to a Taliban warrior about improving his quality of life is like trying to teach an ape how to hold a pen; eventually he just gets frustrated and sticks you in the eye with it.

OK, enough. Snuffle will be up soon, so I have to get back to my hole. Covering my tracks in the snow takes a lot of practice, but I'm good at it.

Please, I tell you and my fellow Americans to turn off the TV sets and move on with your lives. The story line you are getting from CNN and other news agencies is utter bullshit and designed not to deliver truth but rather to keep you glued to the screen through the commercials. We've got this one under control The worst thing you guys can do right now is sit around analyzing what we're doing over here, because you have no idea what we're doing, and really, you don't want to know. We are your military, and we are doing what you sent us here to do.

Send this to ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS sothat peoplehere will really know what is going on over there.-

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

 

I checked this in the morning and it looked ok, sorry for the descriptors and font garbage. Also when checking it, I some how double posted it. AAARGUE! Sorry. Woody

 

YES, I have always had it with any car to some degree. More so with my XFire. Here is what I do

I always drive around the parking lot to find the perfect parking spot without being too obvious, I never want to draw attention to some jealous down on their luck person who will ding it just to be mean.

At work, I don't always get the chance, but I'll choose to park next to a co-workers car rather than the cars that come and go all day. Also, if I find a parking place out near the back edge (its only about 150 ft away) I'll back the Xfire into the parking place. It is amazing how much of the car is protected from opening doors when parked that way.

Some say I'm paranoid, but sometimes... they really are out to get you! LOL

I drive mine every day, even in the snowy northeastern winters. I have some paint blemishes on my car that were out of my control. Still, I always park far away from everyone else. I definitely don't worry about accidents as I feel that they are avoidable 95% of the time. The best thing about the crossfire is its ability to effortlessly swallow up the miles.

 

Great story, only one thing wrong with it, it's not true.
You just have to love Snopes.

Always park away form others and when in doubt I use my door ding protector. Pics in my gallery.

 

Thanks for the post Woody. True or not, It was a good read and frankly improved my outlook immensely.

God bless those who stand on the wall so we can sleep.

180, thanks, I got it as a pass along. Woody

 

These things take on a life of their own. It goes from pillar to post for ages and then they become common knowledge and everyone believes them or wants to.
Snopes helps you see through the BS sometimes and sometimes you hate to see things disproved, ah well that's life.

 

Most car dealers have a vendor guy who specializes in door dents and dings for cars and trucks traded in. If the paints not broken or down to the bare metal they can be fixed quite easy, I had two on my GMC canyon driver's door and they both where bumped out from the inside by a guy here called "the dent wizard" You can't even tell they where even there since the paint wasn't broken I was amazed. Only took about 20 min and $75 nothing was removed or painted, just a small "ziebart" type plastic plug remains in the inside of the door jamb by the door latch.

 

He called him that because that's the name of the franchise.

 

Im lucky my dent wizard only charges $50 !!!!!!!!!!!! per ding !!!!

 

I baby my cars and drive them carefully. I've had my SRT-6 roadster for over three years and it's only got 1,795 miles on it. My Limited has a little over 21,000 on it but I bought it three years ago with 19,000. Living in Minnesota, I only drive them in the summer and never in the rain (if I can avoid it). I can do this because I ride the bus to work and my wife prefers her car with its greater cargo space for errands. That's fine by me because I want my cars to last a long, long time.
