Re: New Roadster Owner

Embarassing, isn't it? Your neighbors, friends, etc. are going to scratch their heads, but you won't care. I think we all did that! My hubby says I probably will never have to wax my car again in my lifetime. Maybe because these cars are small and easy to clean... Welcome to Crossfire ownership!

Next, people will accuse you of driving like a maniac because this car can handle corners and curves! It gets annoying when passengers assume the crash position and your XF doesn't even sway, lean, or tilt when it turns. I know I am not nearly as aggressive a driver as some of these guys. I always think I am not pushing the car as far as I could & how much fun THAT would be! Sigh.

Re: New Roadster Owner

Don't forget to clean/wax the inside of the exhaust pipe and pull the wheels so you can clean the inside of the rims. I won't mention the guys who Armorall their wheel wells.
