Default About to buy Roadster

Yes, I am about to purchase one of these fine and unique German made American automobiles.

I have picked out what I think is an outstanding '05 manufactured in Nov '04 with 20k easy miles.
It is 500 miles away so my description is conditional. It is a bit of an impulsive purchase and I am just beginning to investigate what I may have gotten my self into. I am looking forward to reading this forum.

Learned my first lesson already. Can't edit title. So much for first impressions.

We learn buy our mistakes they say.
See what I did to the your thread title in this post.
You can change the title in any of your posts but not others in the thread.

AreJohn,

These folks don't have time to brush their cats' teeth. They are too busy removing the wheels to polish the backsides. I've wanted a Crossfire for a long time, but didn't realize the physical and mental hazards of owning one.

You'll end up spending time just sitting and looking at your car. People will think you are manic because of the grin even when it seems inappropriate to non-Crossfire owners. You'll look for lint-free cloth to cover the seats, and keep rugs at both doors so you can wipe your feet - when you don't have time to take your shoes off.

It's late and I'm a little giddy, but I have been since January, when I bought my 05 Roadster. Welcome - you'll love it! And you'll find tremendous help from the owners here.

Michael
black 05 Roadster Limited, 6spd

In southwest Florida, it's roadster for winter/spring, and coupe for summer. That brings up an idea...maybe we could set up an exchange network. If anyone up north has an SRT6 coupe and wants to swap for my Limited roadster for June through September, let me know (jk).
