That was me up near Tuolumne, saw a beautiful red coupe today near copperopolis, he waived, I waived back. Also saw a lite blue convertible last week in Fontana Cali, at the McDonalds on valley.

 

Also I work with a gal, she has got a red convertible and it is beautiful, I see it every day. Quite a few crossfires for a small town now that I think about it.

 

Hey Mr Avanti, that was me in my burgundy base. I was returning home to Santa Rosa after visiting/ working with my brother at Sierra Auto Restorations over the last few days.
Thanks for the wave!!
John

 

Sierra auto restorations is right around the corner from my house. Small world.

 

Saw two today, I took mine for a drive today since it was sunny and 60 and on the way home (around 4 pm) while I was sitting at a red light a black limited coupe approached on the cross street and turned and headed the same direction I was. The closest I got to him was about a block away, not sure if he saw me. Then around 7:30 I was on I-471 about to cross the Ohio River into downtown Cincy I saw a Aero Blue Limited coupe heading out of town. I know they didn't see me because I was in my Jeep.

That makes 4 for the week tying my most in one week record from last September.

 

I'll give you a heads up the next time I'm there! Would love to meet up and kick tires, etc.

I just saw a Crossfire at 10:25PM on the TV Show, "The Mentalist".

 

John and Bob my name is Steve, John did you grow up in Sonora and go to school and go to mother lode Christian? Anyway I would be happy to meet with you guys.

 

I saw another yellow roadster this evening. I was eating dinner at the Chipotle Mexican Grill in Highland Heights Ky and I saw it drive through the parking lot. That makes five XF's in eight days.

 

I saw four on Saturday....two in bluecoupes new cave, one at 180's estate and mine. Its more than I've seen in the last 4 1/2 months. C'mon spring...................

 

I saw a SSB convertible in Texas City heading east on EF Lowry a few days ago. I know I saw another on or two recently, but can't remember what they were! Met a lady in Galveston that has had her roadster since '05.

 

Steve,
I'm not from Sonora, but my brother Mark married a local girl and lives in Tuolumne now.

John

 

I been working in Springfield TN for the past month and I have seen 4 different XFires besides mine driving around here

 

The sighting continue in my neck of the woods. I saw a red limited coupe yesterday that had chrome trim above the wheel wells. It also had an odd plate "42 CC" or "24 CC" not sure which, I should of written it down.

 

Just saw a Crossfire sighting I hated to see. News coverage this morning showed a 3-car pile-up in Anderson County along I-85 in Upstate SC. One of the cars involved was a SSB Crossfire Coupe. Looked like a serious wreck, reportedly caused by a dangerous lane-change manuver. Crossfire & the other 2 vehicles all left the road. One of the other vehicles ended upside down in a tree! Crossfire damage looked to be primarily on the front end. Didn't hear of any serious injuries, but the collision was significant especially at Interstate speeds.

Did learn later today that 2 people were taken to local hospitals with serious injuries. Hopefully, everyone will fully recover.
