Bladecutter and I are in the Big Apple this week. We road tripped in the Altima this time as we had a dirt bike to trailer in with us and many other motorcycle parts to haul back home again. But that doesn't stop me for looking for Crossfires and fellow enthusiasts.

I was feeling a little down as for the entire 30 hour or so drive, the only Crossfire I saw was a black coupe in a salvage yard in Pennsylvania. Very sad site, that was.

Then, yesterday, on Long Island at the beach, my (car) spirits were greatly revived. We were driving down a little beach community back road and lo and behold - a white coupe in the distance and the owner was getting her mail. Of course we zoomed up and I told her I have an '08 Roadster and a great conversation ensued. Turns out her lil coupe was a first year, early VIN that she drove right off the showroom floor and hasn't stopped driving since (over 100K miles later). Awesome lady and very much still in love with her car. Really made me smile.

Today we had a red coupe fly by us on the Grand Central Parkway this morning. Obviously didn't get a chance to talk but what a beautiful sight. Later on, we were up in the Bear Mountain area (btw, that's a "foothill" not a mountain you crazy Easterners, lol) and I was really wishing I had my lil beauty. Some great and gorgeous roads that-a-way.

I'll be looking for more of "us" the rest of the week. Happy motoring!
