Default Old Timers

I wonder how many of us original "OLD TIMERS" are still on the Forum and still have their original Crossfires? I bought my 2005 Roadster in June of 2006 (one owner) and joined this Forum, after discovering it, on 11-02-2006. As far as I'm concerned these fine automobiles are TIMELESS and it is hard to believe I have enjoyed mine for over 6 years. The love affair goes on!

I'm still here but the original car has been replaced by an SRT.

Original car was a new '04 purchased in October'05 and as you can see I joined the forum in April '06
.

As you say time flies when your having fun.

I bought mine in April 2006. Still enjoy the ride and glued to road feel on roads with plenty of curves. I live in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies. No major repairs, no accidents and believe it or not, no speeding tickets.

I'm an "original" as defined by this thread, though by the timeline of the Crossfire itself I came to the party a bit late. I bought my 2005 Roadster brand spanking new in July of '07 and joined the forum at the same time. I still have it, still love it, and still love this forum. Win-win-win!

Who are you calling an "OLD TIMER" ? I bought mine new May 31, 2006 and my daughters in December of 2006. And I joined in june of 2006 and still lurking. Every day I still smile when I get in and drive to work. SRT's are the best and Black SRT's are even better. LOL

I bought my SSB SRT6 in April 2006 with 104 miles on the odo. I joined the forum in the same month and continue to own the car. It's a great car with a Chrysler name tag. I will continue to own it for the forseeable future....

Once I saw that Iamfink2 was a forum member, I immediately joined in Dec 2004.

Had an '05 Alabaster roadster which was replaced by my current '07.

Think I put together one of the first Michigan GTGs in June 2006.

I'm Still around but I don't get to spend much time on here these days. I still have my SRT w just over 29,000 miles. I might have put 10 miles on it in the past year and not much more the year before that. I've had some health issues that have kept me on the side lines and it looks like I'll be in the observer roll for awhile instead of the lets go do it roll. I sure do miss all of those great GTG's we had over in Daytona, Orlando, and New Smyrna speedway. Maybe one day again. I'd really like to attend the the next spring Dragon run. We'll see how it goes. Till then take care everyone, Life is short and do not take your health for granted. See your DR and get those regular check ups.

I bought my brand new 2004 XF on April Fools Day 2005. I didn't find this great place until 5 months later. It's been the best new car I've ever owned, Made me completely forget my other 3 very nice sports cars for the last 8 years
Damn, I was only 54 years old when I bought it,. Wow how time flys when you're having fun.

It is good to see some of the owners that have been around for awhile. Some others that used to post regularly seem to have moved on. There is so much knowledge and experience on the Forum, it is great that it is archived for present and future owners. The Crossfire will be an Icon.

Got the Coupe 11/10/07 one owner 04.
Didn't find the forum till 9/08.
Don't have any plans to get rid of the Roadster but thinking of selling the Coupe.
The last Roadster I had for 26 years. Let's see if I can break my record.

Bought my 04 brand new in March 2004. Traded it for a BMW 325 vert in 2007. At that point I vowed I would be back. (check my old posts for proof)
Just picked up a pristine 2005 Roadster in July 2012 (still have the BMW too). Sold my Porsche and my Harley to make it happen. Totally worth it.
These are the most unique cars out there. I like that the most.
