Default Broke 300,000 Miles today

I love my car and my 2004 will be 15 years old on July 3, 2018. I have two Crossfires and the car that broke 300K is my winter car. My convertible only has 120K so one day when the coup reaches its limit the convertible is my go to car.

I intend to drive this car till it literally falls apart which it hasn't shown any signs of doing.

I do still own both my 2004 Coup (350,000 miles) and 2005 Convertible (190,000 miles) Crossfires.

That is fantastic !!!
I remember when member "FP" posted here in 2008 after meeting you at a car wash in Crystal Lake >> Welcome new member
I figured you might see my recent post and reply here.
I'm glad to hear that you still own both Crossfires and have enjoyed so many miles over the many years.
I surprised we have never met one another over all these years as I live in Aurora and you at the time lived in the North Suburbs.
Are you still near Crystal Lake ??
Hope to meet you one day

Gary

Gary,
One day, we will meet. I thought this group dissolved, so I went silent on it. How do I get on a list to know what is happening in my area (Northern Illinois - Crystal Lake). I am also the director of the Illinois Region Model A club, where I drove my Model A over 3,000 miles this year - she's a beaut!

That is a sweet looking car !!
No real list to get on other than my Chicago Area Facebook Page
Most meets and events are more organized on several of the regional groups on Facebook
This forum mostly only shows the main annual events held each year and as far as our area there are few left with Crossfires to attend events.
If you do use Facebook send a request to join the group I linked above
