Regarding the parking situation, that ended up being a first come, first served sort of affair. I just happened to show up before most of the other drivers. And as it turned out, not all of the cars pictured participated in the drive, such as the Liberty or Maserati. But there were some very plain cars that did participate, such as a dodge caravan, nissan rogue, and a caddy DTS.

It was definitely something new and different. The show has been going on for the last 20 yrs, but this is the first time at Skytop and the weather wasn't all that good. The attendance wasn't as great as I thought, but hopefully as word gets around and if the weather is nicer, more cars might be in attendance in the coming years.
The crossfire didn't really receive much attention to be honest. But really, that's not terribly surprising when there were cars like the Superbird, the Horch, and even a 911 speedster. Since I was parked next to the Superbird, the owner did give me a compliment on the nice lines of the crossfire. Though when we all sat down together at lunch and someone asked what I drove, they didn't really say anything when I told them I had a crossfire. Because of the age of both the driver (no offense guys!) and the types and ages of cars that many people drove, I think most people thought that the crossfire was just another chrysler.
One guy at the table during lunch purchased a 997 carrera cabriolet after waiting his whole life to be to purchase one---well since he was 13. When I told him I had a crossfire, he told me about his wonderful Chrysler LeBaron. I didn't care all that much, but my gf for some reason took great offense to what she thought was the 997 owner likening the crossfire to a LeBaron. I didn't quite see it that way, but overall the car didn't have nearly the same effect on the people at the drive as it does on the typical clueless driver you see on the road.
