I think I speak for everyone here when I say 'huh?'

But, I'll tell you what, Dan. And I truly mean this as a fun activity and a chance to meet at least one Crossfire owner in my area to make a new friend with a fellow gear head.

I'd be willing to meet someone with a crossfire for lunch on a weekend, a nice day. We could put our heads together to find a restaurant with lots of foot traffic outside, good parking, and parking in sight of a booth or table in the restaurant. I can off the top of my head think of several dockside restaurants on the Bay that fit the bill.

We'll park our highly polished cars, my Lotus and the other player's Crossfire, equally detailed, side by side. We'll eat lunch talk...spouse's significant others welcome, of course, but we'll watch folks watch our cars. Should be pretty easy to see and obvious which gets the most attention from passers by.

The owner of the car that gets the lesser attention picks up the tab.

A competition between the two cars on the track would be biased unfairly in favor of the Lotus, as you know. But, if indeed the Crossfire is the best looking car in the last ten years, period as you say, then maybe it has a shot.

You're more than willing to make the drive out here for such a challenge, Danny Boy...I have no problem at all buying lunch and fessing up on this board is the Xfire wins. But I'm sure there are some Maryland/NOVA/DC folks that might risk a free lunch...Danny, maybe you know one of the local Xfire owners who would be willing to stand in for you...

Any takers?
