Smile Retirement crossfire

Hi Everyone

This my first post. Last month I bought an Alabaster '04 ltd coupe auto.
with only 11,500 miles. The underside is so clean I don't think it has ever
been in the rain. I have added a few items from Chrometec to the interior
chrome emergency brake handle and chrome door lock pins and surrounds
I am 68 years old and have had many cars over the years. Hands down this
is the most fun to drive of any of them. I just sold a 1967 mustang gta
convert. that always drew alot of attention but I think the xfire draws just as
much and I can use it everyday. This forum had helped me already. One of
the posts was about a rattling hatch. I followed the advise and checked my
bumpers and found one to be completly loose. I just slid it all the way down
tightened the screw and the rattle is gone.
Thanks for a great forum.

Andrew, you sure they didn't change the odometer and give this guy your XF instead of that lady in Kentucky?

Welcome to the club. I have some good friends who live in The Villages and speak very highly of your community. And now it's even better since you've added your Crossfire. Enjoy your car and your retirement.
