Default Moving on and I moved to a Crossfire

Just bought a pristine red 2004. It just turned 38k miles. Automatic with a ridiculous cup holder running on Michelin Pilot Sport run flats, for better or worse.

First action is going to be to change the front brake pads and get rid of the dust.

My last few cars were a red '90 Miata, then an '02 Vivid Yellow Miata (over the last 10 years) which changed into an '00 Corvette. The Corvette, for me, was not a good bonding moment.

Looking forward to some fun miles ahead.

And hope all my fellow veterans out there have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Welcome to the forum--the source for all information concerning Crossfires. I, too, owned a 1990 Miata before moving up to a 2005 Crossfire coupe. USAF, 1963-1969, pilot of EC-121s mostly.

Looking forward to getting to 83k trouble free miles boobles.

shaag78749 Loved my Miata's but it was finally time to move on. At least I have, sort of, kinda, maybe a little more luggage space now

Thanks Ken. Love the red

hehe .... We fly into Nashville every so often for work and my coworker is from outside Nashville.

My wife and I took a vacation back there a couple of years ago. Visited a Vietnam vet friend and drove through Nashville to Memphis to Chattanooga and had a great time.

Did the drive in a rented a Honda and drove the Dragon as well Not the same with a Honda thingy, but what the heck.
