Default Hello from WV

Hello all. First time poster on any forum.

A few weeks ago my daughter called and asked me to assist her in purchasing a 1973 Karmann Ghia drop top off E-Bay. I tried to disuade her by showing her some late model convertables available locally. One of the local cars we found was at one of the local Chrysler dealers. A beautiful yellow 2006 limited roadster with only 1900 miles on the clock. I have been personally aquainted with the salesman there for a number of years and knew I could broker a good deal on the car, however she was not interested in anything but the VW, so we walked away, but for the next couple of weeks I couldn't get the car out of my mind, Ahh driving top down around Bar Harbour in October, I could just see it...

Last week I returned to the dealership with my wife. THE car was still there, we took a ride with the top down and.....well I'm sure this is all too familiar to many of you on here, but Needless to say I bought the car. My wife even likes it, and I have not been so enamored with a vehicle since my 1967 Shelby GT 350. It's a shame though that I now have to sell my jeep Rubicon, my motorcycle, couple of cameras, a few guns, etc. I think that's why my wife like the Crossfire so much.

Welcome to the forum, congrats on the Crossfire- Good Luck!

Sell your guns? How does one do that legally? I'm just curious.

Welcome and great decision. You will just get more and more attached to your roadster. It's really a class act...

Congratulations on your yellow Crossfire. I have a 2005 yellow roadster and I love it.

As a former Fairmont resident for 16 years, and a Marshall and WVU graduate student, my suggest is to sell the other cars, boats, film cameras, and anything else to get the Crossfire, but never, never, never sell the guns.

Well, the gun quip was strictly tongue in cheek. I have sold the Rubicon however. Hated to see it go but not enough room in the driveway for four vehicles.

Welcome!

That seems to be how most stories end... with the purchase of a Crossfire
