Default I did it

After 2 years with my baby I let her go today. She had 60,000 miles on her and ran so smoothly. I upgraded to a 05 EVO VIII. I enjoyed my time with you guys on here and I wish everyone the best.

Give up Crossfire for an Evo? Ouch. I wouldn't do that in a million years. I don't care how fast the thing is. But that is just my grumpy opinion.

Congrats and good luck

Im in the army ruptured disc dont magically heal themselves. Its just something I have to live with. A price I must pay to help ensure my crossfire boys can ride the road freely.

Been there, done that....(herniated disc that is) when I was twice your age. Get a "Specialist" to look at it. Chances are good they can fix you up with just an overnight stay in the hospital.
I was walking around with such a bad limp, I looked like I was 90 years old before the surgery.
If you wait too long to get it taken care of, the disc can calcify and it's harder for the surgeon to remove.
No sence in living with pain and discomfort if you don't have to.
Then ya can always find another Crossfire. (not that there's anything wrong with an EVO).
Good Luck

Maybe if I can get surgery I'll consider getting another just to keep in the garage and never drive.

nice choice with the evo but i still wouldn't give up my crossfire. i have always wanted an evo but i can't afford one new and i hear you shouldn't buy one of these used cause it will most likely be beat

You will regret selling the crossfire. I can't imagine trading in the crossfire for a 4 door Japanese car that looks like everything else on the road. I don't care how many horses it has! I am sure I have seen Evos on the road but I can't remember. To me they all look alike. But when I see a Crossfire it is a whole different story.

Actually I dont. I went back to the dealership to talk to the finance manager and the dealer had a pissed look on his face. He told me that the window fell out of the back. I was like well its been 100+ for over 2 weeks so I can imagine the glue probably gave way due to the heat and then he was like the transmission went out in while one of our guys was taking it to another dealership. I knew something was wrong with her because I replaced the lil plug on the bottom right of the transmission and it still acted funny. I miss the uniqueness of the car but my back doesnt miss hurting now that I've got the Evo. I toy around with the crossfire's from time to time but when I see the SRT6 I always give them the respect they deserve LOL that is til I put on a GT45R Turbo Kit and rebuild my bottom end after my 6 month deployment I have coming up.
