Hey Tom,
Welcome aboard to you and your wife. I hope your passion for the Crossfire is at least half of what most members here have for the car!
At 71 you'll still fit right in with us.. Some here helped invent the wheel I think!

Welcome Tom. I know you both will enjoy the car and the forum. A bunch of mixed nuts here and a lot of great help. As to age, I think I heard of someone being older than the man who invented the wheel...they say he babysat God.... So, you are still in the average range here.
I myself should have bought a red- midlife-roadster since I am a young..49
Any way again Welcome!!

Welcome Tom and Leota, You came to the right place, and bought the right color.
And remember, you're only as old as you drive.

Welcome. The best thing about the white ones is that you don't have to primer them before you paint them black.

I thought it was ' you're only as old as the woman you feel', guess not.

At the spring dragon, it was obvious the average age of a Crossfire owner was about 20 years older than a Genesis Coupe owner.

But even then, on the GenCoupe Facebook page, one of their people posted the following about us: "Good bunch ... and more rowdy than we were!". We are older, but we are not BORING.





Or, maybe, they were just talking about Nick.
