Greetings All!

I have been lurking around the board for about six months and have really enjoyed learning about the Crossfire! I have always had an attraction to this car dating back to the year they started production.

Up until recently I was unable to convince the wife this vehicle was more of a "need" than a "want", LOL! I found a beautifully maintained black limited roadster last July. The XF has the slate/red interor with a manual stick, purchased the car with 41K miles.

The last three months have been incredible! The car has been everything I expected and more. I travel for business and this car was purchased for that purpose. I do understand why some treat the vehicle with great care, it is a really fun car with a lot of personality. My XF will be a test of longevity and mileage, I have already added 10K to the odometer and that trend will continue.

This forum has already assisted me with oil changes, general maintenance, new tires, refurbishing the headlight covers, and replacement of the steering stabilizer. All very easy as a result of the kind advice freely given by the veterans of the board.

In the meantime, I look forward to hanging around the boards and chatting about our unique cars.

Welcome ALex - this board ADDS to your enjoyment of the car while saving you money as well!


I happened on a small car show today while shopping for clothing... met a guy with a white Roadster who had no idea we existed. I hope he joins the forum... I'm kinda watching out for him. He had no idea about the dreaded "sticky ignition key fix" or some of the other things about the car (throttle reset... etc.)


Post some pictures - yea, we've seen Black Limited Roadsters before, but somehow we still need pictures of yours! We are kinda odd that way.....

 

Welcome to the forum Alex. Sounds like you're doing what these cars were designed for....DRIVING!! I've had mine for 6.5 years now, and I still look forward to getting behind the wheel as often as I can.
You have found out what a joy owning a Crossfire can be, now double your pleasure and double your fun and attend the next GTG near you. I promis you won't regret it.
Oh, and by the way, you have the best interior.

 

Hello from Chi-town.
Glad you are enjoying the car and the forum.

Welcome to our community

 

Congrats and welcome to the family.
Be careful the wife doesen't drive the Crossfire, she'll want one of her own.
Mine did...

 

Welcome. At 3000+ miles per month, I think you'll be showing us just how long these cars can run with proper maintenance. I'm guessing a quarter million miles at least. I'll never know as you put on as many miles in a month as I do in a year!

 

Welcome Alex..

 

Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!
