Hi Phil, ... I wonder if it was my former yellow roadster you saw. It only had 12700 or so miles on it when I traded it in for my Hemi Orange Challenger SRT8. My roadster was so clean they didn't even have to vacuum it. They took my plates off and put it on the front line.

I thoroughly enjoyed my Crossfire for the two years I had her. It was a great car and so much fun to drive with the 6-speed.

The new Challenger is going great. This car is truly a "retro-rocket". The biggest surprise is the gas mileage. I got 24 mpg driving a combo of city & highway. That even includes a few "circus stunts" utilizing the Interstate on-ramps as launching pads. Sixth gear (manual trans) at 75-80 is only 1700-1800 rpms. I love the roar of the 425 horses when you hit the gas. I had thought of modifying the exhaust but I'm going to wait to see how it sounds once it's broken in.

I will always treasure my Crossfire memories of that unique and wonderful car. I do miss having a convertible but I'm not willing to pay an additional $16000-$18000 to have my roof cut off and the conversion made on my new car.

My best to all from the Crossfire group.

Bob M.
