Ben47, that was too funny. I think I'd pay money to see Derek driving that scooter down Wilshire Blvd. wearing his drivers suit and competition helmet.

That is way too funny I think I need tassels on the handle bars and saddle bags... That being said, I have an RSV R that is more trouble than it's worth...

It's been so long since I was "into" bikes, I didn't even know what an Aprillia was, so I googled it.
That's one "bad a$$" looking crotch rocket.
If it aint a Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Husky, Ducatti, Harley or Indian, I'm pretty much in the dark.
I'm currently going thru some serious urges to get another 2 wheeler, and I really don't need anymore encouragement. I guess it's a good thing I live where our riding season is only about 8 months out of the year, or I'd probably go for it. I rode for about 12 years and loved it, but I know my riding skills are probably a little rusty, for the type of sport riding I'd want to do, and the kind of bike I'd like to own. So I'm going to probably stick with 4 wheels on the ground.

Andrew, that just shows that they both go to or work at Utah State University. You're seeing the connection from one of the school's proxy servers.
My guess is that F & FG is his girlfriend.

That whole situation is one of the funniest things I've seen happen on the forum.

The only mod I want on my car are the missile launchers that pop out to blow slower moving cars outta my lane. You know the kind that are used on the stealth fighter: Door pops open, missile launcher extends type of mechanism. This is much needed to get rid of the slow people who see you coming and purposely move over. I was thinking a sidewinder because its small. Even though its only a heat seeker, a Phoenix is too big and expensive. I'll just modify the radar detector as a firing control device, disguise the firing button in the cigarette lighter and I'm all set.

As far as the rest of the car is concerned, I love it.

The problem is that you'll have to drive through the shards of metal after you destroyed the car in front of you, and I bet that would mess-up your beautiful Crossfire...

I have no other ideas for you... Except, perhaps HMMM !!! EVIL 'O'

lol this thread is great ... proves the crossfire community has outgrown the small time. finally people are siding with what they like and refuse to be nice about it cause "i know that guy, he joined when i did when there was only a few of us" ... that mentality comes from the need to band together when the odds are against you but with so many new owners that need has diminished.

then we have the forever nice people ... these are the ones that refuse to allow opinions of a negative nature to be expressed for fear of hurting other peoples feelings ... these people are nice but offer no progress.

now this thread has gone on for over 7 pages and hopefully the time where threads this long on a more useful topic are on the horizon for this forum...

psuperti ... i have seen your car many times before and still think what i thought then ... you're in the very early stages of car enthusiasm where you have more will than know, hence the choice of parts ... its ok, thats what real car modders come up from unless they were raised by a real modder to begin with.
sooner or later you will rip off the carbon on the interior cause you'll find it gaudy ... pull the turbonators out cause they offer no improvement on a multi point fuel injection system (tbi and carb systems they can be helpful) ... rip off the chrome moldings that break up the lines of the car from the outside ... among other things ... and end up with a nice nitrous juiced xf. but all in its own time ... don't take these comments as harsh, they are just coming form people that have been around customizing cars too long to appreciate cheap tricks that do not work or do not look good...

Perhaps you would be better off with this.

Derek, since you race your Crossfire, and it's no longer "street legal", I was just wondering what your "everyday" ride is?
PS: I just bought a stupid BIG K2500 4x4 Suburban with a 7.4L (454) big block to tow the Crossfire to the track... They're so cute... Matching black 4X4 Suburban and little black Crossfire...

It looks like Darth Vader towing a racecar... LOL...

Yeah, no problem I still around even though I go through a "lock down" here with the Army sometimes. I did finally make it to Arizona to do my officer Military Intelligence Course. I promised some people rides when I got here, but now I forget who they were.
Anyways, I try to update pictures of my car at my site, but I been very busy, unfortunately old pictures like to come back to hunt me. I tried a few things that were free of cost to me that I know were dumb ideas such as the lights and etc, from carsponsorship.com. Also, I have listen to the good suggestions here at the forum that were kindly given (including to remove the stupid chrome stripes, and lights etc), but I will continue to try more things and if time permits post more here and at my site. If they are bad ideas I hope we can have a good laugh together and move on and if they are cool then great.
p.s. I'm in Sierra Vista, AZ if anyone lives close by and like to car chat.

The only thing missing on this one is a sign "FOR SALE: Cheap, OBO. Call 555-FIRED-UP"
