Smile Hello to Everyone

Hi there -- I have owned a Crossfire - '04 Blaze Red Coupe for almost 3 years now and just became aware of this site. What a great place for all of us to meet.

Live outside of Rochester, New York and travel extensively (sometimes in the Crossfire) over the Eastern Seaboard for business. I've come up through the ranks with Nissan (Datsun) z-cars a 240, 260, 280, 300. After the 300 rusted out I left the sportscar world.

I'm a big guy 6'3" with most of my height in my back. Most cars today are built for migits. The Crossfire fit. Plus it's got some trunk space for touring.

My wife bought the car for me as a "surprise" gift, she wanted me to have a car like that again. Little did I know that she would be gone to Cancer 6 months later, so this car is somthing very special to me.

Didn't mean to get heavy, but that's where I am. -- Thanks for being here.

It can become addicting though so be careful lol
Your wife gave you a very special gift and it is something to keep for many years.
Although she has passed she is surely still riding along beside you in spirit.
