...excited to see the sun??? I washed and waxed my girl an hour after it stopped raining yesterday!

 

Dude I hear yah.... this weekend my wife and I will clean up both cars. But there's talk of more wet weather next Mon/Tues... let's hope there's no more for several months! It needs time to dry up and stop all these mud slides!

 

Yeah, I know about the alleged rain on Mon/Tues...but there's no way I was passing up a sunny weekend with a dirty car! Figured if I washed it yesterday I had a couple of extra days to enjoy it in addition to the weekend.
I can't believe the messes...this state was not built for that much rain ...then again neither was the Crossfire!

 

My Xf doesn't leave the garage if it rains.

 

is that what that big ball in the sky was?
yes, i am so enjoying the weather, unfortunately i had to drive in the rain, but my car kept me safe.

 

Must be nice.....

 

It is and isn't because I hate driving my raincar but like keeping my XF from the rain grime !And lousey drivers.

 

Yeah, it must be nice!!!
I had no choice but to drive it...and it was pretty scary driving it in some of the downpours. I almost got taken out a couple of times, luckily I expect it at all times and was ready for it. Although it was a bit harder to stop on a dime when the roads were so saturated .

Anyways, the second I was off of work yesterday around noon (I'm a part-timer) that top went down and it was one of the most heavenly drives home I'd had in weeks! I'm counting down until I can do it again today! The sun is out, the car is clean, the top is down, and we closed on our first house yesterday, life doesn't get much better!

 

DDDDAAAAANNNNN !!! You gotta be kidding me... I spin mine around when it's raining... WHOOO HOOOO !!!!

I'm seriously going to take you out to the track... Start preparing... Snell 2000 approved helmet, and a barf bag... Then you can come out and play with us...

 

Yeah the Crossfire is my only car so whatever the weather I drive it. Growing up in CT provided me with many years of winter and foul weather driving experience. The secret to staying alive while driving in rainy SoCal is quite simple, two steps:

1. slow down and leave plenty of room for people to cut you off, oops wait, I mean leave plenty of room to stop without running into the car in front of you.
2. move away from the ******** that don't abide by #1
========
Or I guess I could take a bus and use Dan's one rule:
1. Don't drive in inclement weather

 

I gave up at magic Mountain.

 

I bought the crossfire for driving in the rain. It doesnt leak like my other cars LOL. I must admit that its just as scary driving the crossfire in the rain as my mini, both cars are so low to the ground the spray from the cars can be blinding. but the crossfire has air bags.

 

I'm in socal Anaheim. I'm looking for a crossfire group to cuiz or hang with.

 

Lets put together a hook up maybe coastal to Santa Barbara or south .

 

If your'e interested in track days I'll keep you posted...

 

Anybody go to the D1 event yesterday? Chrysler should really consider drifting the Crossfire this year instead of the Viper. It would look great competing with all of the 350Z's and such!

 

Thay have. Sema show in the moper performance booth thay unvaled an 05 srt6 convetible.
460hp lowered, chopped wind screen all set up for driffing. Just sick looking in mopar paint. I'm sure if you surf the web enough i'm sure you could find a pic. in a booth for a local shop (LA) thay
had there version of what the SRT8 crossfire "6.1 liter " enough said...

 

I know all about it....I was there! That wasn't the actual car though...just something they threw together for SEMA. They won't be racing a Roadster for obvious safety issues...so we'll see what turns up. Samuel Hubinette was not at D1 last weekend due to not having a car to race as of yet...

 

As we both know, rag-tops or open tops don't play well with the sactioning bodies of any racing org. (EXCEPT FOR THE HISTORICS) They won't even let rag-tops take parade laps during our lunch breaks at any of the road courses anymore.

 

I still can't figure out the drifting thing... But then again, I couldn't figure out MTV either, and I was probably one of their first cameramen in 1982... Gimme a good road course with lots of twisties and a couple of kids on bikes to dodge... LOL
