Might be Parting with my XF
I've had a blast with my first Crossfire, and I will never forget it. I've made a deal with my wife that with my growing family (for now) I would switch to a 4 Door sport car. Origionally I was looking at an EVO or Subaru but I may be leaving my XF with a friend and picking up a Modded SRT-4. That is the plan atleast. The plan also is some sooner than later find a good SRT-6 to love and cheerish.
We will see what happens

Re: Might be Parting with my XF
There should be no deals with your wife. Don't sell it man. You will regret it and once you sell it will be real difficult to convinc your wife you want a sports car.
I have a 1 year old and my wife is a stay at home mother. She knew when we got married my car would never be sold. She knew when the baby was born my car will never be sold. And my crossfire is still sitting in the garage and will never be sold. I have an old jeep I use as a everyday car. My wife has a brand new car.... Everything is now paid off except my wife's car.
Don't give in and sell your crossfire. If I can do it and have 3 cars and the only person working... Then you can to. And i dont even make that much money... Not making 200k per year. Ain't no way in hell that crossfire title is changing hands unless I give it to my daughter.... Or future son. I could lose my job and my crossfire still won't be sold.
The truth is your wife will slowly try to change you. Don't let it happen and don't give in. I have been in a great marriage with my wife and I love her... But some things just won't happen and she knows that.

Re: Might be Parting with my XF
We love our Crossfire's but at the end of the day cars come and go. My XF will bring me great joy and then be passed off someday to someone else for some fun. I know some people here have settled on theirs for the long run and I respect that.
If you owned a XF and you were on this board you are probably passionate about cars. Try to get something you love if you can. I suggest a used BMW 330 if you can find a nice one ;-).

Re: Might be Parting with my XF
I bust my hump all week working and supporting my family. I give my wife and daughter everything they want. I even help my wife with the house chores. My crossfire is my stress relief. I am entitled to my toy in the garage. Every time my wife says "you should sell the car and get money for it". I tell her to forget it. Wanting to keep my stress reliever does not make me a bad guy.

Re: Might be Parting with my XF
I would be crushed... Totally crushed... I would not give up my car, it is one of my stress relievers. I can't go hopping around town with any class with my Ford Ranger Edge truck... Even here in the southeast, a man has to have a car that he can turn heads with. Sell the XF? NEVER! I have been thinking of a new detached garage and an SRT. Mrs knows this but then again I dream big!

As I said before... my crossfire is a stress relief for me. Just running through the gears is enough to make me feel better
I bought my car new in 2005. Took my wife out on our first date with it.

I'm crushed! For a limited coup with just a E/C tune, I think I stayed up pretty well. Just twice the wheels groaned (squealed) a little but I think I stayed up with you guys well.
