My new Crossfire! PICS!

I know, I know... It's a Chrysler, but I actually kinda like it! This is the first car that I legitimately own and paid for with my own money. I snapped up this 2004 Crossfire for $9988 with 49K miles and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. The only downside is that I had to shell out $1200 for new all season tires today so I can drive it in the snow. It had some burnt up summer tires on it and was a nightmare to drive in the fluffy white stuff.

Now, on to the pics!













My initial driving impressions are that it's not exactly fast, but it's pretty quick and much, much smoother compared to my old Ford Ranger. I'm also in love with the exterior styling although the interior leaves something to be desired. Either way, this ought to tide me over pretty well for the next 2-3 years until I can afford something a little faster...

As long as you like it that's all that matters! Enjoy the car and post some nice interior shots.

Congrats Alex. Even though it's a Chrysler, it is an MB mechanically so it's good to know.

Alex, I say this with concern for your safety. Don't go the all-season route. Especially with the climate you're in, please, please, please buy a proper set of snows. Put them on steelies, and forget about potholes etc.

You owe it to yourself. Everyone does.

I appreciate the concern Craigger. I got a really nice set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires and after driving around in some light snow today, I was really impressed. I know my limitations in the snow and will exercise extreme caution while learning the limitations of the car in the heavy stuff. I still have my truck so if the weather really takes a turn for the worse, I can use that.

That being said, I do have a return policy on the tires so I can bring 'em back if I don't like them.
