Default Crossfire at 10000 Feet?

Okay, okay let me explain. While I know this part of the forum is exclusively for Crossfire ques--I will get back around to that in this story as you read on...

So first things first, today I flew SOLO for the first time!! I've been working on my private pilots license for the past 2 months (in between work travel and other things) so that I could fly myself to places when I wanted to go (plus the wife loves it, and we are looking already at a plane for purchase)...but I digress. So that was the HIGHLIGHT of my year (SEE pic gallery for some pictures).

But, here somes the loop to Xfire. So, the place where I fly out of has a bunch of exec's and celebrities that come in and out on their Gulfstream's and other jets--basically every kind of high end car sits in the parking lot. But the only one that ALWAYS get's the looks and comments (and I mean I'm flying out of there on lessons 2-3 times a week) is the Crossfire. So after my first solo today, I pulled the car around to the front (there is a lobby area that everyone waits before their flight, etc...) to run back in for a quick picture with my instuctor. As I was coming back to the Crossfire a gentleman in the lobby asked how I liked the car--I said fine, blah, blah, blah (same stuff I always say). Then he tells me the works for DCX, and so that peaked my attention--I asked doing what he said marketing. So I really started to talk and tell him pro's/cons. Well, as it turns out, I came home and looked up the guy on the DCX site, and sure enough--SVP of Marketing for DCX George Murphy. Very cool...
