It's been a blast
 

It saddens me to type this but my crossifre is totaled. I was leaving the neighborhood on July 13th, Friday of all days, when I drove through some water that was a lot higher than I thought. My neighborhood does not normally flood but it had been raining really hard for about a week. I could barely see the front of my hood. Long story short water was sucked up into my engine cracking it. I stood there wanting to cry as I watched mobile1 spill in to the water and down the sewer drain. It was totaled.

This has hands down been the best car I have every owned. I bought mine in Sep. 2008 as a gift to myself when my cancer went into remission. I stopped counting the number of times my car turned heads or had strangers coming up and asking questions. Well, you all know what I'm talking about. I think one of the funniest moments was when I was filling her up and was approached by a homeless person asking for money. I told him no and he said "Come on man you are driving a Porsche." I couldn't help but smile and give him a buck. The beauty of the crossfire does make it seem like an exotic sportscar. That is only one of many great memories I will have forever. I want to thank all the wonderful people I met at the GTGs and wish everyone good health and happiness.

*moment of silence*

Sorry to hear about your troubles... hopefully a new one is in your near future!

Re: It's been a blast
 

I can't imagine how you must feel! Hopefully, you can get back in the XF saddle. :(

Re: It's been a blast
 

Very sorry to hear about your xcrossfire...wishing you the best of luck.

Re: It's been a blast
 

Sorry to hear this, but if it's not too late, and it is only the engine, buy it back from the insurance company.
I see several engines on car-part.com at under $1000 .......
( you would have a savage title, but you would have your baby back )

I thought about replacing the engine but with almost 100k miles other problems were bound to happen. So I made a little money on the deal and got a mustang convertible. 305hp and 30mpg is hard to pass on. Plus I always wanted a SRT6 anyways.

I am sure you will enjoy the Mustang - I had a coupe and would have loved a convertible but I found the Crossfire by fluke and it has been a great thing for me. I bought it after I was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer (note my website name!) and I am sure that having a convertible is part of the reason I am still here. Enjoy the top down on your new car and all the best with your health. Ron
