KC finally got liveable.....the cherry trees are blooming & the Crossfires are out in full force! I started harvesting my asparagus patch & planted tomatoes. I still can't get over the deal you got on your Xfire Itsky.

Lol, Well, I'm with the rest of you. I was driving one of our company shuttles yesterday so that I didnt have to mine to work. There were two vans yesterday, and on the first pass that we go over coming to work, there are semi trucks all over the road sliding and stuck, cars from one ditch to the other ditch and just a mess. We ended up leaving one van on the side of the road because we couldn't get it unstuck, everyone jumped into my van, with studded snows, and then had to chain up because we couldn't get up the pass either. Was so happy I wasn't in my crossfire. Make it go away, its snowing today as well.

I took mine to work in the morning, I thought my girlfriend and I would stop for breakfast after our morning runs. There were just a few flakes in the air, by the time we were done with breakfast the crossfire was covered in snow. It needed a good washing anyway, it has been mostly dust and touch up wax this winter. I guess I'll have something to keep me busy this weekend. Maybe I'll clean the rims and exhaust pipe before the crossfire police see my ride. Get the dog food out. lol

Dont let the crossfire police see mine. I'll be shot on site. She needs a bath bad after the snow, and I need to find the neighbors cat and kill it, a few times over. I came home and it looks like the cat tried to climb up the side of my car, and managed to "slide" off. So from the rubber seal on the top of the window, to almost 3/4 way down the car it decided to keep its claws out and try to achieve a better coefficent of friction. Forgive my spelling if you would. So now I get to try and buff out the claw marks, but some of it looks like it went through the black. Can I electrify my car body and just kill it on impact? Dang. Sorry for the vent, but i know you guys would understand.

That's too bad, cats will do anything to sit inside a crossfire. Let me know what you used if the scratches come out. That kind of buffing makes me a little nervous.

And I was complaining about the dirt on my car. That cat scratch fever for the Crossey must really suck...

spray a citrus cleaner around where you park your car, cats find it sickening smell and will run from it .....give it a try

Thank you for the tip, I will have to try it. If not, I might just sit in the yard all day with the water hose. lol
