My drinving habits actually changed when I had the TT Supra, you talk about having cops follow you for no reason try owning a TT Supra...it was very annoying. I had mine back when the fast and furrious had just come out so all the ricers were like "OMG!! It's that car out the Fast & The furious" it was VERY funny.

The Crossfire turns heads almost like the Supra did this makes me happy considering the price difference !!
I'm afriad of people (stupid people) pushing the wing down when I leave it open. haha

The biggest change in my driving habits is that I now enjoy it.
Driving aroung in a Ford Ranger is a task; driving my XF is pure entertainment !!

Also, I now spend most of my drive time on curvy back roads without traffic or stop lights.

Hey Valk - maybe you should add a "Crossfire Dance" competition to the TofD schedule. The few others staying at the lodge will really wonder about us.

Mine has really changed in that I now have to slow WAY down when going over speed bumps, railroad tracks, etc. It's sometimes strange because it often feels like if I go over the railroad tracks a little faster, it feels smoother. Any risk of tearing something up underneath?

Also, the looks are endless. Just tonight was on my way home from eating with some friends, and after I passed a guy in a Tahoe and we both came to the light, he made an effort to stop next to me and I could see him lean down to see who was in that beautiful car. Also, competitiveness from others seems to go way up.

I have to say my Driving habits have changed drasticly.
With all the modifications on my SRT and the Rev limiter removed (NO MORE GOVERNOR)
It should run 185mph and though I have only had it to 162mph I have had it at 145 twice this week. I have a track event this Sat and Sun will see if I can run at 185...

With the crossfire, surely it gives me the ability to drive more aggressively. However, 90% of the time, I actually drive more conservative in the crossfire. Maybe poor visibility, maybe attractive to cops, But surely because I love it so much, over baby sitting it.
