Congrats Gary on your 1 year Anniversary. I celebrated my 3 year Anniversary on April 1st. with my car in the shop, AND IT'S STILL THERE!!
Now that the weather is turning nice, I'm glad some people have theirs to enjoy.

 

Gary, that just sounds so awesome! Have a great lunch and trip with your mom.. Oh yeah, your CF looks great..

 

Hey Mike,

At least you still have a Crossfire (or is it a 'New' AMX)! 3 down & at least one to go (I hope!)

Bill

 

Bill,

Is it true that you are getting an 06' SRT

 

I have lost both my parents, Mom when I was 29, and dad when i was 42, My Mom was my best friend...and both are missed, I have a crystal star hanging from my mirror, the song by Janet jackson together again makes me cry, when I die, my son willhave the star on his car.....means that much.....crap i am crying

 

Well actually I did a lot of driving last summer and then I discovered this awesome forum while doing a goggle search for mods and accessories.
Since then 2311 posts and several new friends from Crossfire meets.
I love it here as much as I love my car. I log on everyday as most of you probably already know.
Don't get me wrong ....I do have a wife of 12 years and a life but I don't miss a day on the forum.
Well except while away a few weeks ago at the Tail of the Dragon.
As I said to the people there I was living the forum in LIVE form.
I chose to leave my laptop at home.

 

Actually that was a car that is owned by the club I belong to. www.exoticarshare.com
Drove it but never owned it. I am a friend of the club owner..... http://www.curvyroad.com/Portfolio/L...iGallardo.html

 

Thanks for the kind words Patty.
My mom is terrific. She is 78 and still pretty active.
I talk to her daily and see her at least once a week.
Everyone should cherish all the moments they have with their parents.
Once they are gone they will be able to hold on to the good memories of time spent together.
My dad passed away in 2002 at age 76 peacefully at home and my mom has moved on fine with the love of our family.

 

Thanks to all who have posted here with the kind words.
Mom and I had a great day.
Took her for a nice 180 mile drive and we had lunch at our favorite place in Rockford "Cliffbreakers"
Here are a couple of pics from out last trip up there......

My mom and my Crossfire at my dad's resting place.

 

Gary, Mom is still looking pretty good & I'd be willing to bet she gets in & out of the Xfire w/o any help.
Congrats on the year & your car STILL looks purty!

 

Great to have you here Gary! My mom turns 80 next week. I told her about how a good friend of mine recently gave his mom a mini cooper for her birthday but I was NOT going to buy her one of those. She said "that's OK, you can buy me a Crossfire". WAY TO GO MOM!

 

Yup,
A '06 SSB SRT6 Rdstr # 6X064172.
I'll be picking it up outside Detroit on Sat April 26th, if all goes well.

Thank you!
Bill

PS This is Gary's thread about his CF & Mom, let's Not Hi Jack it.

 

Yup , I offer a hand and she says "no ,that's OK just give me a minute".
It's either lean down low and crawl into the Crossfire or step up and climb into the Ford Explorer (my other vehicle).

 

Gary sounds like you had great Day with mom , My mom and dad area 86 yrs old and still going strong . I may live in Kentucky but i was born in ILL Have sister that lives in Rockford and Borther in Byron ,Kind makes me home sick . Gary you are a good son ! RAy & Susan

 

Gary, your mom is ADORABLE! Patty

 

Went out for a drive today and took some new pics.
Looking good for 30,000 miles.

 

Nice! I like where you put the Karmann emblem. Did you decide against the slasher stripes?

 

Man I will tell ya...
I just can't decide. What do you think ??

 

Gary, It is Looking Great at 30,000 miles!

You don't need to change another thing on the Exterior. (IMO)
SF

 

Looking good Gary. We had a beautiful day today to go for a drive.
