Default Hello everyone- new to the board.

Hello everyone - I am new to the board as well as a new owner of a Crossfire Roadster. I have to say - this car rides and drives like a champ. It was not my first choice - but I am extremely glad I made the one I did.

I have been on the waiting list for a new Pontiac Solstice and drove one Saturday. Needless to say after slamming my knee into the dash several times I realized very quickly that this car was not for me.

I am 6' 5" - 255 pounds and a avid body builder and started to worry that maybe there is not a roadster out there for me. Drove by and saw this one - and it fits like a glove.

I was really surprised when we got down to the price on this car. Sticker was $41,035.00- it was a program car and had 3,651 miles on it. I offered him $28,995.00 and he took it. Even went as far as to give me a 48 month 60,000 mile warranty with it. ONE WORD: SWEET!

Glad to be here and chat with fellow owners...

Thanks guys - been wondering around on your board and there is a ton of info on here... already found a new set of rims I like and what is going on with my low tire indicator - not to mention some very attractive members - (goodenough)... lol

I'm sure I will be bugging some you about something- so take it easy on the newbie.

Got the aero blue with grey leather int. Located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

Man I cranked on my radio and even the system in this car is sweet. I am planning however-on yanking the radio out and having my DVD player put in it. Nothing better than putting on a movie with the wife so I do not have to talk to her on long trips... lol

God should have given her a mute button... lol

Wow, I'm 6' 3" 160 lbs (obviously NOT and avid body builder...) and I thought it was tight... but if you get the seat positioned right, it does become amazingly comfortable.

Congrats on your car!

-And if you don't drink- than we'll replace them with cokes... lol
