I purchased my 06 crossfire in December. I was actually able to drive it before winter hit here in Idahol. As luck would have it, We have had the worst winter on record. That has not stopped me from driving it whenever the streets are dry. My only real problem with the car is trying to keep it at a resonable speed. You notice I didn't say legal speed. That is impossible. I have had it up to 115 mph several times and know I will be going faster. I absolutely love the car and cannot believe how it handles at those fast speeds. I am looking forward to many years of incredible fun.
