Default New Crossfire Owner

Hello from a new and excited Crossfire owner in Maitland, Fl. I remember the introduction of the Crossfire concept car in 2001 and loved them and wanted one when they came out, but life got in the way. Now I have finally bought my ‘05 SRT6 roadster in Metallic Blue. It is almost the same color as my favorite car I ever owned, a ‘67 Jaguar XKE, and now when I drive the Crossfire it takes me back to those days of my youth.
My car has 48,000 miles and is in great shape except for some things for me to be able to work on. The biggest thing is the non-functioning top, and the technical thread from Pizzaguy has already helped better understand how this thing works.
We hope to be able to attend some meets in our new baby and look forward to meeting other Crossfire addicts!

.......your heightened trouble shooting skills, having maintained the most “lusted after” body ever created............can take a rest.

In comparison, Crossfires are just looking for a good time

Jaystar - There is another Crossfire Roadster down my way in Greenville SC that has been repainted wrapped Bright Yellow after originally being a Black car. Only 23k on the ODO! I keep looking at it since I'm only 15 miles from this dealer. Here's a picture:



Corrected my original post above.

Those cars are the YELLOW that the car should have came in from Germany.
The factory yellow is too pale for my taste....

$15,450 - It's too high, but everything is that way right now.

The bright yellow is somewhat striking. Looks similar to the paint color Chrysler used/uses on Jeep Wranglers.

I love it. Do you know what single parenting is? Single parenting is a major issue that affects many families. I too did not have much knowledge about it but one day I got to write an essay on single parenting. But I didn't know anything about it. Then I found a post on Google and in it, free Essay examples were given on every topic. That post is this https://writinguniverse.com/free-ess...gle-parenting/ With the help of this post, I completed my task on single parenting. I will also recommend this post to you, you can complete any of your projects very easily with its help.

Cool Re: New Crossfire Owner

Some of these posts here might suggest this is a seniors group. I'm going for the record. Yesterday I bought an 04 white coupe with a 6 speed. I'm 79, and the car has 196k miles. Who's older? Go ahead beat that!

PS My wife thinks I'm crazy but she said it looks nice.

PPS I might have to pry the gas lid open with a screwdriver. Both doors are unlocked and pushing the lid didn't help... it won't open. Anyone have any suggestions?
