Well I just bought my Crossfire and am loving every minute of it. I traded in a 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT 5-speed with a decent little bit of work done and loved every minute of that car until I lost 2nd gear in the Getrag 5-speed and every quote for repair was between $3,000 to $4500. The Crossfire is like showroom new.
I first saw the Crossfire at the Atlanta auto show in 2004 and fell in love with it. It is something I didn't think I'd be able to afford for quite a long time but that proved to be wrong.
Mine is a:
-2006 Coupe, Limited - Inferno Red
-6 speed
-21,000 miles
I think my PT GT was nearly, if not as fast as the Crossfire up to about 70mph but after that the Crossfire just stomps it. Also the Crossfire is overall MUCH more fun to drive. Of course the Crossfire isn't nearly as utilitarian, but I can live with it!
Here are some obligatory pics: (Edit: the 1957 Chevrolet is mine also)

Here is what I traded in. I will miss it a bit.
