Default New Crossfire owner in Kalamazoo

We are picking up our 2005 convertible on Saturday. So excited!! We were Harley riders until an accident changed that. Then we drove a Miata (which I loved) for several years. Most recently, we have owned a Nissan 350Z, which I liked but never loved. I think the Crossfire will be my next love!! Would like to hear tips for packing for longer trips in the limited space available.

Congrats! There is luggage specifically made to fit the cargo area.. but there's a surprising amount of room back there regardless

First day no problem. Second day put your underwear on backwards (yellow spots in back and brown streak in front. Third day turn underwear inside out . . . Review and repeat procedures for first and second day. Try to be back home by the end of day four! Enjoy your new Crossfire and WELCOME!

Welcome to forum and Crossfire ownership. If you can't locate some "original" Crossfire luggage. Try packing smaller (stand alone) fabric bags that can be squeezed into small nooks and crannies of the trunk.
Some people have been known to "UPS" their larger parcels to their destination.

Surprisingly lots of room. We travelled from Vegas to Ontario with amenities including enough underwear for 2 weeks!


Pack light and use all the nooks and crannies and you will be fine!

Congratulations and welcome to the forum
There are several Crossfire owners in Michigan and I encourage you to come meet many of them by attending this annual event we attend every year in August

Take a look at this thread and send me a PM (private message) or post in the thread link below if you have any questions.
You will have an amazing time with us and it's not to far from home for you.
