Another tale in your response...

When I first bought my crossfire new in 2005 most people didn't know what it was. My neighbor came out and started staring.... saying the words "DAAMMMM". Everywhere I went I had people throwing thumbs up in the air and yelling "nice car". Most people thought I even had a hemi! The car really stood out. Even a worker at a gas station came out and wanted a tour. You should have seen his face when I said they are no longer making them.

Now 5 years later I don't get as much attention because I think more people know what it is. The mechanics at Chrysler still ask me if I have the car. I brought it in to Jiffy Lube once for an inspection and they still ask me if I have the car. It still gets attention but not like it used to.

But my prediction is that 5 years from now you will see even less on the road. And time will prove how "classic" this car really is. 90% of the people still won't know what it is. They will again start to ask and wonder what kind of car it is. Our cars existed for a short period in history but they have their own tale! They came from a time when the auto industry was on fire. They also represent the Mercedes merger and have a very special story behind them. They will become timeless classics!
