I recall the same phenomenon with the PT Cruiser. When you couldn't get one everyone that did have them kept em really clean and shined up then everybody got one and it became just another car. While the Crossfire not the same league as the PT it still bugs me when I see one that's dirty. No excuse for it! My wife is constantly hounding me, why do you have top wash that car every weekend, its not dirty? Well I can see the dirt. Why do you have to wash the back of the wheels? I haven't figured out a good answer to that one other than "because the manual says you have to."
By the way woody nice job! Dave there is a silver/blue Crossfire running around here that's always filthy was that the one you guys saw?
