Born in a Crossfire Hurricane
Hello!
I probably should have checked to see if my title has appeared before but I thought: 'What the heck?' I did think of it on my own.
After a couple of years of searching I finally found the right Crossfire for my wife and I. It's a one-owner, low-mileage (33k kliks), 2005 Limited. We plan to use it on our many visits to upstate-NY and, of course, the neighbouring counties and cities of Ontario.
Wy a Crossfire? I was kinda smitten from the first time I saw one and after seeing the car perform in the TV Series The 4400 I had to know more. So, here I am.
The garage door is always open for those in the Kingston, Ontario area. While no mechanic I can probably help you figure things out or at the very least turn a wrench.

Re: Born in a Crossfire Hurricane
Welcome to the forum. What a very gracious offer. I'm sure those in your area will appreciate it very much. As you said ,just lending a hand can be the difference between a small project and a "O'crap" job. Enjoy your ride.

Congrats & Best Wishes! (from a long ago Winterpeger, Manitoba). Add some Pacific Coast Highway to the bucket list, the Blue Ridge Parkway is near the top of mine.
Gotta keep dreaming!

Re: Born in a Crossfire Hurricane
Thank you for the best wishes! Yes, the Blue Ridge Parkway is high on the list of must-do drives. I thought we'd make it there when the city of Richmond hosted the World Cycling Championships but it's still a bit hard to get the time off of work. All of that ends in March, however! 
I've spent lots of time in Winnipeg in a previous-life. Bicycle racing in the 70s and 80s meant lots of trips to the Belgium Club, Birds Hill Park and U of M, etc. Still kick myself for not seeing Bowie in '84 (?) Love the Blue Bombers still.

Re: Born in a Crossfire Hurricane
Thank you so much! And the ride is about to get better as I plan to remove the knee bolsters. First, however, it's two new front tires in order to get it past it's Safety Inspection and then it's to storage for the Winter.
