Default Top down, 1st. time

Hi everyone, well, today was the first time I had the top down on my 2005 roadster since I purchased it last Nov. Wow! It has been a Long winter. I can't believe how great the Crossfire looks with the top down. I washed it and spiffed up the interior, played a little Sirus radio and had a great time. I guess that is why we have these great cars. The week looks good weather wise here in the Northeast, so I guess the top will be down again. Hope all of you roadster owners enjoy your car as much as I do. Happy driving! Patty

Me too Patty. Purchased roadster last November also. Topp down today first time. About 60 degrees here in Sylvania. Ran the heater to keep warm. Took a ride out to Catawba Island Lake Erie. Ran the odometer all the way to 6,300 miles. Check out my users gallery, I put the Mercedes emblem same place as you.

Are you playing your iPod through an FM transmitter? If so, which one and how does it sound?

Great to see all the topps down I know how you love it. Check out Olmar's gallery, we made a 200 mile run on Sunday in the Colorado Rockies what a blast.

Just goes to show, once you're driven around topless, you'll never want to go back!

Ours has been under the cover in the garage for way too long ... And yes, the prettiest a Crossfire ever looks is when the top is down! Very nice.

1st time top down this year. It was a long time between rides. It got tp 66 deg. here in Pike county Pa today. Road through the D.W.G. National Park it was heaven. But there is still some snow in the deep forest area. Enjoy the xfire.

My top goes down every day as long as the weather is decent. My description of decent is over 45 degrees, no precipitation, and partly cloudy is fine with me. I'm thrilled to have a convertible again. My last one was a '65 Impala.

Hey patty.. Nice to hear you went topless....it was 73 degrees here in the North west (Kelowna BC, Canada) I had the top down all day.
Did you install a wind restrictor?
One thing I noticed is that the back draft changes (less) when the spoiler raises.
It is such a gorgeous car.... I must have purchased my 2005 about the same time as you.

I just got the valve cover leaks fixed and I'm feeling more and more confident in regards to the dependability.... I'm always listening for any abnormalities...A fibration I detected was actually the speakers against my leg..LOL

Be patient Ann forecasts indicates you can go topless later in the week. I agree the weathers really bad this spring.

8:30 am in NW Ohio and it's snowing. But no hurricanes, mosquitoes, drought, it just doesn't get better than this.

Here in Jersey, I've had the top down a couple times this past week. We hit 77 yesterday. Today its cloudy, cold, 48, and chance of rain. What a crazy weather pattern. At least I had a chance to wash and clean, both, after the Dragon run.
