You have too many miles on that car.
I'll hit 28,000 miles in a week or so.
Gotta start looking for a lower mileage one soon.
You should be like bluecoupe, his never comes out of the garage.

I have to address the issue with the transmission leak
I have to fix the issue with the headlamp, I lost the plastic cap that help with condensation! If you have an idea about that please pm me! please
I bought the struts"' for the trunk, I believe it is time.

If you ask Dave (180) really nicely, he will probably post the part number to the headlight rebuild kit that includes all new plastic caps and ventiliation fittings It was something like $20 online.

Concerning condensation the tech bulletin # is 08-002-05 and the seal kit part number is
05174786AA. The seal kit is $25 at the Chrysler dealerships and have the caps you need. It will correct the problem for both headlights with just the one kit.

The entire new headlight assembly is also available now from the dealerships, but ebay have them for about $500. The new assemblies are corrected and have no open vents so they shouldn't have condensation problems.

Went head-to-head with a modded ZL1... My pride still hurts a lil'. Absolutely loved hearing both superchargers whining though.

Met my wife for lunch and then went home, clay barred, polished and waxed her. I then dusted the wheels, dressed the tires and vacuumed the interior. Just got done a little while ago and I am beat. I could use a cold one but, I would have to go buy some and it hardly seems worth the effort.

We bought our 2006 last Saturday and I drove it home. My wife had her first drive in her tonight since the temperature was sunny and 73 in S. Indiana! She loved it and learned how the location of all the gadgets and gizmos and how to put the top down and up!
It was a good evening!
Are there other of you out there in a close proximity of Jasper Indiana?

This is maybe too much personal info here, it does sound like fun though. Taking your wife out to lunch, taking her home, baring her and then polishing and waxing her. Does she scream when you wax the sensitive parts? There's no point in holding back now as you have told us way too much already.

Yesterday Steve helped me swap out the NW catless downpipes and Paramount Performance Stage II Valve Body while Nick hung out with us. Today I installed a stock supercharger pulley, removed the aftermarket stereo, and prepped the Crossfire for it's next owner. Also, I placed a letter in the owner's manual for the new owner mentioning the forum along with my username and contact info.

Tomorrow's the big day.

Holy Crap, that's exactly how that sounds. It's funny how you can proof read something without hearing it. In reality it was more of the other woman scenario and, yes she does scream when I get on her.

Ok Crossfire convertible owners who have replaces your tops!

Would you buy from the guy on eBay? And is the window issue not going to happen?

Mine is reglued with Gorilla glue and so far so good but I want a back up ready to put on!

Any suggestions?

Sure. Remove the whole top assembly and shave off some pounds in the process.

You're welcome
