Default 1st Drive Today!

The new-to-us Crossfire is finally on the road and today I drove it to work and back. It took two weeks plus to get the title from the previous owner, who had to wait for Daimler Finance to get it to him. But that's all behind us now.

The drive to work was a learning experience, getting comfortable in the seat and remembering my session with the owners manual for all the little how-to's we have to learn when driving a new car for the first time. Now, I'm adjusted to the throttle tip-in and the sight lines from the drivers seat.

It's a fun car to drive and I can't wait until top-down weather returns.

Hopefully, this week I'll get photos and post them in the gallery. Or not. I might be too busy going out for a cruise to stop and take pictures!

Today was my last drive of the year in my Crossfire. I did a few errands, filled it with gas, and put it in storage. We are due for some heavy snow in my area tonight, so it was time. I only put about a thousand or so miles on the Crossfire this year. The miles I did put on, I certainly enjoyed driving it. I'm up to 12,474 miles on the odometer.
