Ok, I saw you today, my roadster twin on Page extension heading into St. Charles MO today. You went past me, I caught up, I passed you etc. You're either the nice lady I met at the Phillips filling up one day or the guy (or relative) driving Caulks Hill. Someday we have to stop and chat. Go see the St. Louis owners group.


While I'm at it, I also saw a blue roadster on 270.

Was in Cincinnati, Covington and Louisville today.

saw a black base coupe norhteast bound on I-71
saw an SSB coupe northbound in Florence and an Aeroblue parked on Pike stree, near Lee.

I was in my big ole red and black DODGE one ton, full of machinery.
Anybody?

I takes exactly six hours to reach Florence from my St Peter's MO house. Using I-64 thru Louisville or I-70 thru Indianapolis.
Both routes are exactly 381 miles. weird!?!

Wow, two on Easter. A blue roadster at the Universal Hilton in Studio City California and then a coupe on the 118 Freeway. The guy in the coupe gave me a thumbs up, so if he's on here he will know who waved at him.

Very Cool!

I had two Crossfire sightings today in Minnetonka Minnesota. My wife and I were coming back from my mother-in-law's 95 birthday celebration in my black base '07 coupe. On Excelsior Blvd, going west, we saw a limited blue coupe, then going north on cty rd 101 around Lake Minnetonka, we saw a yellow roadster with the top down. This was around 4:15, 4:30 or so on Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, and it's good to see the Crossfires!

I drove my daughter back to school yesterday to the University of Iowa in Iowa City. We had to make a stop at Target in Coralville around 2:30. There was a black SRT6 Roadster driving around the parking lot. Very nice and polished. Looked great.

Saw one today on the final leg back home today from dropping the last kid off to college; sadly it was a beautiful day and I wasn't in my XF.

I did roll down the window he seemed really excited about someone yet again talking to him about the car. I managed to tell him I have the same as him but not a limited and I did get out about the forum and told him to look me up. Hopefully he does and he joins both the wider community and the local group as well.

I took some photos from the National bus, but a I still can't post pictures to the forum you'll have to take my word for it. I never knew that the Roadster was available in Black...I thought that was a coupe and base color only.

I didn't ask what the daily rate was, but my VP says next time to travel we'll check out the Crossfire. At National they are kept in a row on after the Executive line...so I imagine they carry a daily premium.
This is exactly how we became familar with the xFire 3 years ago. We were on vacation in San Fran and had reserved a convertible rental. When we went down to pick up what we thought was going to be a Sebring, they were all out of service and the attendant said all they had left were PT Cruisers. I said no way in hell will I drive one of those, so as someone else pulled away in their PTC we noticed a 05 Graphite Roadster sitting in the back corner that we took as an exchange. What a trill we had that October cruising down the PCH to Big Sur. It was freakn cold but darn it, we had a convertible so we had the heater on full blast, our winter hats on, and seat warmers on.

When in Carmel and Moneray, all the fools with their high dollar exotics were wondering what we had. Priceless moments.

After waiting for some time until the time was right, we now own a brand new 08 Aero Blue. SWEET!

It's always a beautiful day when you've dropped the last kid off to college!
(even if it's raining)
Congratulations.

Saw a red roadster today parked in front of a little tavern on Main Street in Watertown WI. If I didn't have a bunch of frozen food in the back I'd have stopped in and asked who owned it. Are you out there?

I saw a silver roadster on Santa Anita in Arcadia California. I waved, they waved back. I also saw a black roadster on Columbia at Orange Grove, about a month ago, in Pasadena CA. Maybe it was on Bellefontaine.

WHOOPS! I didn't realize this was the Mid West Forum. Oh Well.

Black Roadster (maintained nicely) on HWY 94 St. Charles MO...followed him into the parking lot of a bank

His name is Ed and hopefully he gets in touch with me so we can bring another into the fold.

Two today.

Silver (I think) roadster westbound on North Ave in Elmhurst. In the lane next to me, then in front of me.

Black SRT6 roadster with yellow Wisconsin plates parked by Goodies on Belmont Ave in Elmwood Park/Chicago. I parked next to you.

I think I know the one you are talking about.

I see a SSB Limited running around the Dunlap area of N. Knoxville once in a while, think he might live in the lake of the woods area. Seems like I never see another Crossfire when I am in mine, it's always when I am in the family truckster.
