The first time I laid eyes on the crossfire I was at a traffic light, I pulled up behind a roadster and I thought to myself that is one badass looking convertible. I knew then I had to have one, I Googled it and one of the first things to pop up was the crossfire forum. After researching the history of this automobile from various sources other than the Forum I was almost convinced the car would be more trouble than it was worth, but then I spent a few days on the Forum getting to know the car and the people on the form a little better, not by interacting but just by reading the various comments and seeing how the members interacted with one another. The technical information available and the support by members for one another tipped the scale for me and I pulled the trigger on a 05 Alabaster Roadster. Thanks to the" members"_ owning this car has been affordable and pleasurable.
