My story is similar to Valkryderguys'...

It was around July of 2004 when I saw my first Crossfire. I was stunned by the beautiful and unique car that I had only caught a brief glimpse of. But I saw enough of it's back end and the tell-tale Chrysler winged emblem as it pulled away to get home and hit Chrysler's website. After seeing that it wasn't anywhere near the 60K price tag that I anticipated. Now knowing the Mercedes heritage behind it and getting a better look at some pictures, my interest was piquing.

Then I saw another one on the road. This time I got a good look and immediately knew that one day I would have to have one. A year later, I did.

In a nutshell, I bought this car primarily for its look.
