Hey-
I've had my white 2005 Crossfire for 14 years now. I live in Texas and have enjoyed driving it and look forward to keeping it running strong. I will be asking questions about some of the small issues I'm seeing and don't know where to turn.
Thanks for all the information and look forward to reading your posts.

"Texas" for a location is like saying you live in the USA. We STILL do not know where you are!
There are quite a few of us around Dallas/FW. I also see Austin and Houston in a lot of profiles.

Keep an eye on the event forum:
https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-events-meets/ The only close meets to Texas are the speedway thing (I still have not made it to that) and the Arkansas meet (which I would NEVER miss).






(I'm not really in Dallas, but close enough - I like to keep a somewhat vague online presence - you can't find my real birthday online, either.)

I'm a little Southeast of Big D-
I'm out in the open space among cows, coyotes, rabbits and right now a bunch of dusty hay rolls.
Why does everybody need so much hay?

To feed them meat critters so we can have T bone steaks and leather seats in our Crossfires.

Hi Pizzaguy, Administrator. I’ve read many of your posts and tips on keeping the Crossfire as the wonderful car that it is. When looking around for a 2 seater sports car I am so, so, glad I did not buy that restored Jensen-Healey, or that C4 Corvette jalopy.

Location: S’ville (short for Smithville) is my zip code, but S’ville is 13 miles away. Very cool Texas town. Kind of a best kept secret.

It’s in the Guiness Book of World Records for baking the tallest self standing ginger bread man. It’s also a hot spot for many movies, Hope Floats being just one. And I ran into Jimmy Vaughn of the Fabulous Thunderbirds at a little antique shop in town so I think he lives around here.

But as the crow flies I’m only 3 miles from Rosanky.

Two interesting things about Rosanky. It has a gas station, a church, and most importantly, a roadhouse, and the roadhouse’s biggest seller besides cold beer on tap are T-shirts that say “Where in the hell is Rosanky”.

The other interesting thing is as you approach the Rosanky Cattle Company Ranch there’s a sign on the edge of the hi way. “Keep Rosanky rural, don’t move here”.

Yeah, I like it.

Am planning on some Crossfire road trips out to the hill country to partake in a winery tasting tour, maybe more than once.

Cheers,
Mick

Welcome to the forum! I lived in Dallas for 18 months, but now am up in Arkansas - I came down to Austin maybe 18 months ago to visit a friend from high school, I liked your part of Texas better than Dallas!

I hope you might make one of our bigger meets: The Dragon in TN (Ocotober) or the OZarks in Arkansas (June) - both are long trips for you, but ya kinda owe it to yourself to make it to each at least once.
