New Member Saying Hello
Greetings fellow Crossfire owners. I just joined this site as a proud new owner of a Sapphire Silver 2005 Crossfire SRT-6 Coupe. According to the CarFax report It was a repo that was recently auctioned and has only 2,800 miles on it, so it was a complete steal.
I finally settled on it after driving a LOT of other cars including; Nissan Z, BMW Z4, Infiniti G35, Mercedes SLK, and a few more. I have to say, I literally shed a tear trading in my Red 2000 Trans Am that I had for the past 8 years and 99,000 miles. It was simply time to move into a more "adult" car before it started nickel and diming me. It's kind of crazy how emotionally attached I could get to a car.
Anyways, I think I made a wise decision as this thing is an absolute beast on the road and a beauty to look at. I'll get some pics up shortly.
So I look forward to chatting with all of you about Crossfires and driving in general. I've read some posts and everyone here seems very cool, laid-back, and willing to help one another out. I'm not a motorhead, per se, but I am a geek, so hopefully I can be of some use on technical matters, audio/video stuff, etc.
Talk to you soon.

Glad to hear there is another SRT6 owner in the western suburbs of Philly. Did you purchase the SRT6 @ Carsense in Eagle, PA? There was a similar one there for the past few months at that dealership.
I also have a SSB SRT6, since 4/06, originally with 104 miles, now with 6800 miles. I haven't seen to many SRT6's in the area. I'm located in the West Chester, PA area.
Another member, Emthusiast, ownes a Graphite Gray SRT6 in the Malvern area. Both of us were at Carlisle last year. Im planning on going this year if my work schedule permits. Congrats and welcome....

Re: New Member Saying Hello
Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone. I'm learning a lot about the SRT-6 here and it looks like there are a lot of helpful individuals.
Unfortunately, on day 3 of ownership my Crossfire was taken from my work on a flatbed for a check up. I'm writing a post about it on a minute because it was an interesting overall experience. You'll see what I mean...

Tom, Welcome to the forum.
I once owned a 1984 Trans Am and I know how you can get attached to a car. It was one of my favorites a long time back.
I think you will begin a new chapter with the SRT6.
You will become attached to this one even more most likely.
Have a great time with the new ride and watch out for those police.

Basically, the alarm went haywire and locked out the key fob commands and the engine. Detailed account can be read here.
