definitly FAST.

Many people will tell you they are underpowered but they have very high expectations for a $35k car.

I'm not sure the real hp, think it's around 240/250, which doesn't sound impressive but when you can pass around 3 cars without doubt or fear, that is a great fealing.

This is by far the fastest vehicle I have ever driven and it is very smooth. Unlike the Riv forcing you back in your seat at launch, the Crossfire is more like the Millenium Falcon. You are smooth until you high the lightspeed and it feels like your streaming forward. Unreal.

Drawback to the Crossfire is having it be such a unique vehicle that you have to park all the way in the lot and watch it from the inside of the store. These are rare around here.

And even though the kid down the street has one and used it during the winter, I can't forsee myself digging it out to go to work. But it's do-able.

Whoever it was who posted about the Mercury Capris, wow that seems to be the case every time! I just saw this:

Three Capris for $2300. Seems like they come in bunches!

It makes me sick to post these pictures of the life I use to live compared to where I'm at now. Every vehicle I've ever owned was paid for in cash. Now I'm down to a Riviera. Not knocking the Riviera by any means, but it goes to show how quickly ones lifestyle can change





I also had another bronzemist STS with those same wheels but cant get back far enough on my cadillacforum history to retrieve the pictures.

Also had a velocity red RX-8 for about a month, traded it + cash for the Escalade.

Manofmany, what were you doing at the age of 24 to be able to pay cash for those Cadillacs?

I know how you feel with the 'new baby' deal, my son is 2 and he sure takes up alot of my time. It's worth it though. Yeah, sorry but I got the same impression that the police did aparently. I was going to go to school for graphic design but the school I wanted to go to was way too expensive. I'm just going to go get an ASE certification while my wife is in med school.

She's going to be a Cardiologist, so when we get all her loans paid off we will definatly be set as long as she can find a job. Which shouldn't be hard, we live in the fastest growing part of Ohio. We've had 2 brand new hospitals open up this year and downtown there's 5 or 6 well established ones. I'm going to take the 2 year course at a local tech school. I can't go through 4 years, I'm not patient enough for that much school. That Jeep should last you quite awhile, my mom has a '96 GC Laredo that's still like new and my Riv is a '97 with 253k miles on it and it's still running like new as well. What part of IN is Greencastle? Considering I'm in Cincinnati, I'm close enough to Indiana.

i'm glad you guys like jeeps, myself, i cant stand mopar! i put them in the same categorey as ford!

The only Mopar product I would EVER own is the '71 Baracuda. The Jeep GC has had a reliable track record for everyone I know who has one. I'm still a GM man. I'd own a Ford before a Mopar, and never anything asian ever again. The only reason I ever did drive a Honda is because my mom got me a '91 Accord when I was 16. The entire cat-back of the exhaust fell off withing 2 months of me driving it, the spark plug igniter went out and finally it started leaking oil so bad that I would go through 2 quarts in 5 miles, all that happened within 3 months of driving. Working on asian cars is too frustrating anyway, everythings all crammed up all ass-backwards under there. If I were a smaller man (I'm about average sized) I MIGHT consider it.

Manofmany, I grew up 10 min. down the road from King's Island. I'm glad Cedar Parks bought it, they might actually get some better roller coasters. Many people around here are predicting that Cedar Parks is going to tear down alot of the Cedar Point roller coasters and ship them down to KI so they can build bigger and better ones up there. I think you and the Columbus guys are the closest ones to me.

Well, I dont have any pics of all of my previous rides. But, I do have plenty of pics of my ride before the Riv came along. So, here it is, She was a 97 Pontiac Bonneville. She was totaled in a rear end collision soon before the Riv came along.
