Maybe we "Chrysler owners" just like to acknowledge the fact that we are enjoying an automotive secret many people are clueless about. We know that under the concept car body lies a sophisticated, German-built, performance car with an American car company name on it. It's quite unique don't you think?

Hmmm, that reminds me of another car, that just so happened to become a legend. Oh, and it was "just a Ford". Ever heard of the Ford "Shelby" Cobra? That was an English built AC sports car with a small displacement engine that Carol Shelby talked Ford into (so he could go race at Le Mans) letting him take some Ford 289 V8s and later, monstrous 427 V8s, and stuffing them under the bonnets, thereby creating one of the (still) fastest production cars ever made. Obviously the Xfire didn't get that popular, but I like to think of the standard Xfire as a modern interpretation of the 289 car and the SRT6 as a modern interpretation of the 427 car. They are European sports cars that an American car company took and replaced the so-so bodies with some fascinating sheet metal. Yes, I think they deserve a wave now and then!

Obviously at 17, you wouldn't understand, you're still just getting used to what it's like to drive by yourself. Maybe one day when you've had as many cars as I have, and experienced all the little quirks, joys, and heart aches different cars can bring you, you'll understand why some cars deserve a wave from another of the same car's owner now and then.

Oh, and a reply stating that "My dad has had Porsches, Bently's, and Lambos, so I know about different cars, bla, bla, bla..." doesn't apply to you as the owner.

Cheers!
