Gives us pics of the wheels you'll put on it! Are you sure about sizes, specs and such? Check the site for information and make sure they're correct before you pay for them. What kind of tires are you getting?

Enjoy the new car.

PS: will your dad adopt me?

yes im sure about the specs which is why i didnt get the black rims with chrome lip like i wanted i would have had tp put spacers and new shocks and i just didnt want to fool with that. I decided on a crossfire beacuse in 04 the local dodge place had a stone white one dad brought home and mom wouldn't let him have it cause he had just had his mid life chrisis and bought two ford thunderbirds a yellow and a grey metallic one. I guess you could say we're a little car crazy at my house have about 22 old ford torino's and galaxy's also have a 1940 ford coupe and a 55 t bird conv. Finally got dad back in a mopar though he now rolls around in a 09 deep water blue dodge challenger r/t

By the looks of things, getting you the Crossfire was a ingenious way for your dad to add to his collection. The heck with mom ... Good for you!

Hey, young man, I see from other posts that you've had you new wheels up to 120 with your girlfriend on board. You be careful, now, we don't want to read about you in the papers.

BTW: any of those old Torino's rag tops?

A dead pedal is a place to rest you left foot when not braking or clutching (is that a word?). Crossfires have a flat spot in the left corner but many do not find it to be useful.
