Re: Crossfire totaled

That is all I can think. But think good my crossfire did it's job. Everybody always gave me a hard time about such a small car, but wow it sure took a punch and protected me.

I watched that three times. Still can't believe you walked...

God and German engineering was on your side.

Re: Crossfire totaled

Does the video fool me? Because that LOOKS like a black roof, I mean, was your car a Roadster??

Yea, I can't believe you walked away from that.

Re: Crossfire totaled

you were really lucky nomore, you hit a more or less glancing blow off the front fender off the bus with your front, but I'm surprised the rear wasn't more damaged, and so glad you're ok.

Wow... Glad you were able to walk away. Nice to know that our Crossfires can take a hit like that and we can still walk away.

Re: Crossfire totaled

Wow, innocently sitting at a light and your Xfire is totaled! Your walking away is a testament to the strength of these little cars. Hope you'll get another one. How long ago did this happen?
