Thank you for the welcome!! I am excited about owning my car. It's my dream car!


Congrats and welcome Jaime.
We need a few more ladies here on our forum.
Lots of fun you will have with a Roadster in Florida.
And we have a lot of other members in Florida here to.

Some even make the trip to a very cool Crossfire meet in the Spring and Fall.
Have a look and give it some thought.

I drive through Ocala all the time... I live in St. Petersburg when I actually live in Florida, lol. I am in Illinois for school right now. I saw an Alabaster crossfire last time I drove through, some woman was driving it, I think it was between Ocala and Tampa... I tried to flash here, but it was too late ;S

And again, good choice on the black... definitely the funnest/fastest of the colors!

One more thing, it is good you have a dark color, not only the speed... but if you drive around Wild Wood area, I heard they have some kind of officer scandal thing going on. they are pulling over A LOT of light colored cars in suspicion of illegal aliens or for no reason at all... on my way back to Illinois, an officer pulled a guy over right infront of me, and his car was light colored. I heard a lot of stories from credible people being pulled over and ticketed for doing absolutely nothing... :S

Sorry I missed your intro yesterday. Welcome.

I have several suggestions for you.

First, forget about your Sebring and your Pacifica. Nice cars but no comparison. Trust me, no regrets.

Secondly, watch out for these guys. They go nuts over a new pretty face. You can't believe 'em for sure.

Proof?
One of them will tell you Black is the fastest color and everyone knows it's SSB. Another will tell you only a roadster is a sports car, well that might be true.

And then there is the guy who will insist that a stick shift is the only true way to drive a roadster. Don't believe him either.


roadster with a stick

"the way it should be"

 

Thanks for the tips!

Welcome Jaime.......enjoy the new ride.

BTW....don't let the boyfriend / husband (you're too new for us to know that yet!) drive the car, you'll be sorry!


Who..........us??!!?! Come on Franc.....we wouldn't do that!


Both true statements!

Again.....we all know that you're absolutely right!

 

Steve, in a little less than sixty days I will present you with a three year chip. MM

 

Welcome toots! (Donald Duck always called Daisy that so I think it's ok) You're gonna love your car and this forum. Sports cars in Florida or Southern California are really the best. How would you like to be in snowsville right now? Black is the fastest color but only if you wash it every day because the dirt builds up wind resistance. Have a blast and log in often.

 

Welcome to the forum and the XF community....I wish I was in FLA at this time of year...

 

Welcome Jamie. I also live in Florida. The Toy usually sets a a Sping meet in Central florida somewhere. Hope you can make it sometime.

 

you know u can drive your Xfire year around here well any way in South Florida,,, welcome. jim

 

This from the guy who posts a story about his eyeballing a young lady in a Mercedes and then racing with her....

 

Congrats Jaime !!! I'm a fellow 05 Roadster Black on gray as well......Enjoy the ride !!! There's other posting somewhere in all these threads where other porch owner have made the switch and won't go back to porch. You'll come across them if you read some of the treads. Good luck and enjoy the car........from a Alabama driver..........

PS. My wife drives a Sebring Convertible hardtop !!!
