Default Wow! Two in one day...

Well, at least in 24 hours. I was at a conference yesterday and parked next to a black Limited coupe and today I saw another one on the way to work. That's it!!! The car is just way-y-y to trendy now - what to get next???

Come live in Michigan. You will see so many you will get sick of them.

I am in Philadelphia (northeast) I see them around here from time to time, a couple a week.
What I can't believe is how many Hyundai and KIA I have been seeing lately, they are everywhere!

Funny you say that...

I am at Pepperdine University, and there are exactly 2 other crossfires. One of them happens to have a Michigan License plate.

Drove from Central Florida to Knoxville TN and back last weekend and saw not a one. The funny thing is that my wife remarked about it, I never thought about it.

I live in a not so rich city of Michigan (but it's not poor or run-down, just no $400,000 houses) and I can think of at least 4 crossfires that LIVE in my city. That's just ones that I know and see in driveways. I sometimes see other ones all the time that don't live in my city but are just driving.

On my way to work (I work a half hour away in a city that is very wealthy) I see tons and tons and tons. I could see up to 10 in one day, but usually they're all Roadsters and barely any SRT-6's which is weird. Kind of makes me sad.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, I haven't taken my car in to get serviced yet. I wonder if the dealers here would be more familiar with my car? Maybe I won't have any dealer nightmares like you guys.

(Okay I did lied, when I first got my car I didn't know how to take my radio out and took it to the person who sold me it, and he tried to take my dash apart with a screwdriver and pulling it =( I got scared he almost broke it).

Krickey - I saw another one at Sam's Club this afternoon... a red Roadster limited - beautiful color - never seen one before. It's the second time I've seen a Crossfire at Sam's - last time it was a silver coupe.

They have a big bin full of XFs at Sam's...

Saw one last night in a parking garage...driving around with his wing up...not terribly clean, but it sure looked nice. I rarely get to see one roll by.

My favorite encounter with one was just before I got mine this summer. Beautiful summer evening, sun going down, driving in a tree lined road and I saw a red roadster with the top down roll by...super clean, and it just confirmed I had to have one.

I pass a black convertible everyday going to work. It doesn't seem to mater what temperature it is out. If it's sunny his top is down.

A black coupe passed me in Chattanooga on Hwy 153. I gunned it and caught up with him and waived but got ignored. That close brotherhood doesn't quite exist yet like it does with a Vette.

Dave - I think I saw the red one yesterday on Georgia Avenue in Olney. Tried to catch up but couldn't. They are still pretty rare around here so the wow factor is still there.
