yea it ias quite a bit of shifting but nonetheless fun on the open road but a headache in traffic because the crossfire has quick takeoff and the car in front of you is rather slow most of the time i wanted an auto but i bargained for a stick

The Dealer was only scheduled for 2 and didn't have a clue on what the next one would be. I wasn't disapointed, but after driving it for a week decided I needed an automatic. Too much shifting for an old man. Had my "Thrills" many times in the past so I don't need to burn the tires anymore. No curves here in Florida either. So the automatic is the right car for me. Found a Deealer with two automatics who was willing to trade for my car and the list difference so I traded. Cost me $1100, + $500.00 to ship my car to the Dealer in Naples, Fl. When the SSB/6 Speed (#1600) came in the Dealer called me before it was off the Truck. He didn't even put it on the showroom floor. Came off the truck wednesday, they checked it out, cleaned it up and I picked it up on thursday morning. They would't let anyone near the car excpet the mechanic, detailer, and Salesman that delivered it to me. A few days latter I took my PT Crusier in for an oil change and drove the Crossfire to the Dealer when I picked the PT up, they still hadn't received another one so It got a lot of attention .
Have 2000 miles on my Alasbaster Automatic and stilll having fun and turning heads. I've seen a couple here in town (tourist), but haven't seen on "on the Road." Made two trips to Jacksonville and one to Orlando, the car gets a lot of attention.
