What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Prepping ole' blue for the Chicago 1/2 mile next week. Won't have the gear change as I had hoped, but we will see if we can beat our top speed of last year anyway. Only doing tree starts this year....no rolling starts... You want to race, we race the old fashion way.... Won't be the fastest car there, but will hold our own in the quarter mile.

Totally unbiased opinion I'm sure I love it as well
On a side note I had about 6 people stop tell me "nice car!" today. On was a redhead in a VW EOS with the top down. She turned all the way around in her seat to look at the car at a stop light. I'm assuming she couldn't tell what kind of car it was because later as I passed her she shouted "OH! Crossfire! Nice!" Good to see the XFs still get some looks!

Today while at work I got a phone call that my new key is at the dealer. I will go get it tomorrow morning (saturday) and program it myself :P
I ordered the key yesterday and it's here today. That's some stupid fast shipping and turnaround time they have at least!

Watched it sit on jackstands... again...
I cracked the back wheel on a rock sitting on the highway, Waited 3 weeks and paid 650 for a refurbished wheel shipped to northern Canada, then when the tireguys put it on they scratched all over the face of and gouged the sides of it. So now it sits for another week as they re-refurbish the wheel.
I'm starting to think my car is cursed or something

Awesome! Sounds like a stunt I pulled in my 944 years ago going from Columbia to Charlotte...
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I've only had the nerve to take it to 135 or so in the mountains in NC.... Feels great, but the thought of gettin pulled at that speed... :S Nope!
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
I just barrel through the empty twisties and such at unreasonable speeds :P

I've been pulled so many times for speeding in NC that I vowed never to do it again. They hide everywhere and give no leniency. Almost as bad as VA.
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Hmm... ~10 years in NC I think I got pulled once. 1 year in Indiana and I've been pulled 4 times. Bad luck for one of us I guess :\
