Default Traded the Crossfire in on...

a new accord coupe. We put BC coilovers, lexani wheels, and a billet grill on right off the lot. Even doing that and a dding a sway bar, it is not nearly as nimble as the crossfire was. It's a v6, but a big car for a 2 door. Great car, tons of room and killer in the snow. The Crossfire is on a lot in Baltimore. I found it on cars.com lol.

Looks good, Ryan. Someone on the forum already posted a thread about your ride for sale, it was indeed a looker as well. I think they want $15K for it

I will always have my XF, but there are a few reasons I can see why he switched it up - parts availability, aftermarket support, back seat, dealer support (competency) and knowing that there is a company proud to make your car, not one parent that wants nothing to do with you, and another that has no idea how to deal with you because you have most of the other parents' DNA

I am thinking the same thing right now Johnny...with Chevy bringing out another beast of a Camaro, it is so tempting me to unload once the rearends are installed. I would take a beating on the price though....decisions...

Trading it was a no brained actuallly. I recently sold my 48 chevy pickup with custom frame and full air ride. No need to have two vehicles that are worthless in the pa snow. I also unloaded an older cherokee I needed for winter. Going from 3 vehicles to one
Made a lot of sense. Also for a while there was only one xf. In town, after I got mine for some reason they came out of the woodwork....several limited ssb coupes, so I shopped around. I wanted the 370z or g35, but for winter driving they are not good either.

I hear you, my mitsubishi endeavor sometimes says the same thing, but it is great in the snow (AWD all the time) and I use it all the time for projects around the house. The mitsu can fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in it no problems, I can not say the same for the GTR (and since there is no cluctch, it will never be in my garage, at any price)
