Default Second Crossfire, First SRT6

Just purchased my second Crossfire about two weeks ago. Used to have a white Limited with red interior, sold it, and decided to come back to the fold.

Only two things to say about these cars. Damn they fast, and damn they small. The latter is partly my fault though, at 6'6" I'm probably in the running for one of the taller Crossfire owners here. Can't really help it though, like my cars like I like my women. Petite, beautiful, tight rear end, and although it takes a little work to get in, once you've made it you've got the ride of your life!

Location is Raleigh, NC. Not sure how many of you are out here, only seen about 3 other Crossfires on the road all driven by middle aged women. Beautiful cars, and grabs a ton of looks.

Still got some work to do on it, doesn't appear like the intercooler pump has been replaced, and really needs a new set of brakes and rotors. Other than that, more power than can ever be needed on the roads. Plan to keep it mostly stock aside from maybe some lower seats in the future. Challenge to keep the wheels from sliding out from under me.

Anyways, enough of the boring stuff, here's some pics:

congrats on the new ride!
if you don't need a front license plate in your state, get some PAINTABLE silicone, fill in the holes in the front bumper and hit them up with touch up paint once the silicone dries.
Let me know how I can help with maintenance items.

Good eye! Had to squint to see if it was even visible in the shots. Yeah, PO had an ugly front license holder that I removed. Will look into paintable silicone, figured I'd have to live with those holes but would be glad not to!

Might be hitting your website up in the near future for a few more repair items. Belts, pulleys, etc... Glad there's a site out there that provides specific parts for these (rather rare) cars!

Another Crossfire Owner took a couple of those trim plugs with the serrated fastener, painted them the color of the car and inserted then into the front license plate holes. Actually looked really nice. Might be an option.

Congrats on your recent acquisition. There are a couple of XFire Forum members that reside in the Triangle area. One in Raleigh that I recall; one in Apex.

I'm down near Smithfield NC. I know there are about 6 in this area and around Seymour Johnson AFB. I'd love to join a group event.
