No i did not get rid of my xB!!!
have been wanting one of these for quite a while. My wife finally convinced me that i work hard enough that i deserve to treat myself to a fun toy. Since my youngest is at Pitt, i sure as hell don't need to do the minivan thing anymore. I thought about getting a Vette, but the whole 'gold chain midlife crisis old farts drive Vettes' thing bugged me. Besides, i wanted somthing a little different...something Euro...but not boring..
So after a lot of searching, here she is
2004 Chrysler Crossfire(M-B SLK) 3.2 V6, 215HP, 229 lb/ft, 5 speed autostick, and a ____load of attitude. 255/35/19 rears, and every toy you can imagine. Picked her up in Duncansville, with under 5500 miles on the odo. Original owner was a woman. Spotless inside and out, and the price was about 1/2 of what the origianl sticker was. Still has about 6 months of warranty on it, plus i can get a Chrysler service contract for not a lot of $$.
This is one FUN car to drive!! Not the fastest in a straight line(high 14's), but this car handles!! I considered the SRT6, but between the higher upfront cost, plus insurance and other factors, i went with the N/A. Still has plenty of *****.

 

Yeah--the wife really had to twist your arm!!! Is that an old Volvo or SAAB in the garage?

 

I agree about the whole gold chains, mid life crisis Vette thing. That combo is as common as dirt around here.

Good choice on the Crossfire. Definitely a handsome, unique vehicle that seems more of a mature car than the Vette......ummm, I mean more mature "looking" that is.....not mature as in "older"......oh you know what I mean.

 

Hahaha...yep, i know exactly what you mean.
OldYeller thats a 1969 SAAB 96 with a V4 and 4 speed column shift.

 

very hot lookin car, i sat in on at the auto show few years ago and it has tons of head room!!!

 

for some reason every time i see a crossfire all i can think of is the ambigously ___ duo from snl :?

 

Never liked the Odd looking rear end w/ the Itty Bitty fold-out wing thing...Looks weird!...

 

The rear is the best part of the car IMHO...

 

Did you have muddy feet? I would never let my door sill get that dirty if I had that car.

 

u own 5 cars???!! wow...
drive a different car everyday
insurance and all must be a PITA...

crossfire looks hot. even if its auto
