OK, more like roaring in... Today I finally gave in, and stopped at the Chrysler dealer. I drove out with a beautiful, black Crossfire. I know I'm only on day one here, but I love it already.

First thing I did once I could manage to drag myself out of the drivers' seat was to find this place. It's been great reading what everyone's had to say about the car -- I'm feeling even more sure now that I did the right thing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need to head out and drive to, well, I dunno. But I'm sure I'll figure it out once I'm on the road.

 

Oh, one question -- seen some talk about VIN numbers. Mine ends in 10112. If I was to put my VIN in a sig, would it be #112?

I feel like such a noob.

[Edited to add: Never mind. I got it figured out. Shoulda been born blonde.]

 

enjoy....and welcome to the board! :wink:

 

Welcome to the forum, post often. My Vin is 9941 so our cars are very close. I haven't had a moments trouble with mine, so you should rest assured you have many trouble free miles ahead.

 

welcome, welcome. it just get's better.

on "where to drive?", a local newspaper columnist advises starting with a full tank and then resolving to get lost. thoroughly lost is even better.

few people really become permanently lost. some just change their mind about where they're going and become deckhands on tramp steamers but most people will find their way, like a good dog, back home. meanwhile, it's cheap adventure.

Congrats on chosing black. Takes a little more effort to keep it looking slick, but it's worth it! 8) 8) 8) 8)

I have my key back and guess my boy will have to lust after my baby again till next year when he is a senior lmao hey he has his youth and girl friend but i have a CROSSFIRE lmao

 

Man, I should have done this a long time ago. I'm getting no work done today... People keep trickling in late... I've already heard three people come in talking about the Crossfire in the parking lot, and had two make two trips out to show the team my new baby.

They definitely didn't react like this to the ol' Wrangler.

 

Welcome to the clan Trick. Where do you live by the way? Cause we have all sorts of interesting trips/get togethers just for us special crossfire owners.

 

I'm an L.A. native recently transplanted a few hundred miles north -- I'm up in the Bay Area now.

I know there are at least a couple other Crossfire owners out here. I'd managed to hold off on buying mine until I got passed on the freeway by an alabaster one day, and followed a graphite halfway to work the next.

Until I got mine, I'm not sure I'd ever seen the front of one.

 

:lol: Be sure to read the thread on "Left Coast Hook-Up May 15th". We would love to have you join us. :lol:

 

We have a tendency to do that 8) ... don't worry, it's nothing personal, we're just havin' fun

 

I just picked up my Crossfire today from Hilltop Chrysler in Pinole, CA.
It is also a black one.
Although, I only drove it 2 miles to my body shop to have all the silver painted out black.
I am painting the front grill, door handles, windshield frame and louvres.
When it is done I will post pictures.

 

Cool. Mine came from Walnut Creek. They're practically cousins.

See ya on the road, Magnum... I do a run from Concord to Hercules every day, and often hit Pinole for lunch.

 

i hope the body shop removes all of these pieces to paint them...scary...tape lines and overspray are the kiss of death on any car...let alone black.

can't wait to see the pics of the grill.
