just to say hello to you all
and thank you for the interest and concern though i wasnt a member at the time
yes , i am the one who "lost" her crossfire in hinsdale il to the burlington express train in february
i did have all season tires and sand, and yes was driving in w
hinsdale slacked on their snow removal at the crossing,car was mechanically fine had crossed those tracks m-f for the last 10 years 3 of them in the crossfire
loved my car but alas had to watch its destruction
happy to report found a fraternal twin and am now back to driving a crossfire(although a bit more in debt uggggh)

glad to know there is so much knowledge on the forum to help us out mechanically as it made the decision to repurchase possible

 

Welcome to the forum. I was sorry to hear of the accident, but I am also glad that it resulted in you finding out about our wonderful community. I love my crossfire, but it is this forum that completes the experience for me. I hope that you will find that it does the same for you.

 

Welcome and sorry for you accident but glad you found "us". Enjoy your new ride!

 

Glad you made it off the tracks.
Cars are replaceable, People.. Not so much.
And now you have found the Forum,
Welcome home.

 

Glad you are

1) Here to enjoy your new XF
2) You found a XF to keep you in the XF family
3) Made your way to the forum

Regards,
Ty

 

double up on what GDC and Ty said, most of all you are ok. I can only imagine the look on your face the moment before the now demised Cross was impacted by the train. You can always get another car, and pay off any debt. Glad you're back with us.

 

Welcome to the forums. I'm glad that you were able to find a replacement.

 

Glad; 1) you found us 2) found its fraternal twin, and most of all 3) you're OK

 

Oh I just can't pass up on the opportunity

Welcome Back!

 

Well it certainly was one of the most horrific, and tragic end of a Crossfire I remember reading about on this forum. Thankfully you made it out safe and sound, but I can't even imagine what you felt seeing your car demolished right before your eyes. (I know it's only a car, and replaceable, but most of us are really attached to our personal rides just the same).
Good Luck with your new one, be safe, and welcome to the forum.

 

Glad you were OK and welcome back!!!!!!

 

Sorry about you losing the car! good to see you have a replacement and found a great web site to boot.

 

My ex wife was!! thank god! LOL

Welcome to the forum and glad your here to tell the story!!!!

 

LMFAO!!!! Man, I can sooooo relate!

 

It came at the highest expense though, about £250K in total, but hey I got a newer model with bigger hooters and she runs just fine!! Ticking over nicely providing I hide this thread from her LOL
