HE?....

As Jim Carey once said "It was meee!"

Here's a link to some of the other misc. preliminary photos I take... http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s125/squidrider/

It's just a hobby more than anything... Seems almost impossible to get into the photography market here in Canada so it will stay a hobby... As will the bike since racing and stunting are virtually non-existent here...

I struggle every day to not let myself go and buy a second Crossfire……specifically in white. Those beautiful photos are not helping! That car is stunning, I only wished the SRT6 came in white. I have been drooling over Andrew’s lowered white Crossfire for the 4 years I have been on this forum and a Crossfire owner. I was sad to see him sell it, but yours has taken its spot as my favorite Crossfire!

I am embarrassed to have mentioned anything to you now, but the light in the top right of the original pic draws my eye to it and away from the car, yet the 'shopped version seems as if its missing something. Maybe there should be more lights behind the car than in front?
I guess I am wrong - again. I know that both are pictures I would be proud to say I took. You have a great talent keep it up.

I need a back seat and an actual trunk unfortunately. That and I don't have room for any more vehicles, so one has to go... The bikes I refuse to sell, so the car has to find a new home...

That being said, I don't know what vehicle to get to replace the Crossfire... Everything looks bland in comparison...

My list of considerations so far is: '08 G37s, '07 IS350, '06-'07 GS430, C55, '04 S4 or avant... Can't decide as they're all bland but will suit my needs and let me enjoy driving them to a point...

If anyone has any insight, please let me know...
How many miles are on it? I guess that comes out to $16,387.00 US?

Andrew, I cut my rear bumpstops about a third, but didn't cut the front ones... Did you cut yours in order to keep the stockish ride quality... I have to confess, I lowered around 2 years ago and am now starting to hate the ride....lol





Get some Koni shocks and set them to full soft. The ride quality will be superb!

I test drove just about every one of those cars as well as an 09 335I. By far, my wife and I were most impressed with the Infiniti G37S! I used to have an 05 G35 coupe 6MT which was a nice car, but the G37S sedan is a far superior car. I was most disappointed in the 335I. Maybe my expectations were ballooned, but it just didn't do it for us.

I recommend a white G37S 6MT, then get yourself some G37 19" wheels. They fit perfect and look amazing on the sedan!!

How many miles onit?... There are 75,000 km's with oil changes every 5,000 km roughly.

If anyone wants the full-res version, please send me a PM or post up your email address please.

Every vehicle I have had has been standard with the exception of my 4Runner and my LHS.... That being said, I hated the auto in 4Runner, but it actually worked great in the LHS... I guess it's sitting in traffic what does me in most of the time...

A white SRT would be nice, but I still want a back seat..lol...

The G37s coupe is what I'm leaning towards with the 19" wheels... Just can't decide on auto or stick... Every vehicle I have had has been standard with the exception of my 4Runner and my Touareg.... That being said, I hated the auto in 4Runner, but it actually worked great in the Touareg... I guess it's sitting in traffic what does me in most of the time...

Ah, the coupe is very nice, but after driving the coupe and sedan, the sedan was obviously far more comfortable due to more elbow room. The back seat was a bit torturous and the 0-60 times are about the same for the G37S sedan and coupe. The coupe is heavier than the sedan!

my wife and i have an '06 4-runner w/ lo miles. love it and its automatic. wanting to add another car, we test drove a g37. nice car. the 350 is a nice car, too. so's the bimmer. but the only car we could envision owning with a car seat in the back with the panache of a crossfire is the gt-r. haven't driven that supercharged audi yet, though. at the end of the day, we just decided to get another new old stock srt-6.

peter_k - GREAT photo!! I also have a boom setup, but haven't used it yet. I haven't even thought of putting the cups on the hood, thanks for the excellent idea!

As for a replacement car, if you want a backseat, I would say buy a Porsche 997 or 996
