Thought I'd...........well, here's our new ride. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire Roadster Convertible.....build for Chrysler by Karmann in Germany... shares 80% of it's components with a Mercedes SLK320 if you take away the skin. 6 speed manual tranny, 3.2 liter SOHC V6..........34,000 miles.
So, we got 33 mpg on last week's trip to N.Y. for my little sister's 60th.
I got it for Gypsy and she loves it. And of course there's the stereotype of the grey-haired couple in a sportscar. And there's always the "coooooooooool factor". :lol:
It's uncomfortable for me to say the least but when I'm not on my motorcycle I'll be in my truck......a gas guzzler that more than makes up for that 33 mpg.
Truthfully we really don't need either of these toys but we've already lived once in a "work-your-tail-off- world" where being practical was necessary to get here. The "now-we're-retired-world" is a whole new ballgame and we're still in the first inning. :wink:
Peace
