Haha... I love this thread! SO true!

- When your 4th grade teacher walks by and says outloud to herself, "must be a doctor." Then turns to see you behind her and says, "they must not live on a dirt road." When you ask her if she would like to see the inside and her mouth drops, knowing I just graduated college and have yet to find a REAL job. Then watch as she has a heart attack when you tell her it's 6 years old already... pricelss!

 

When you have people ask you if it is a bentley or a porsche on a weekly basis

 

I like win they say , Dam that Crossfire look good in BLACK !!!

 

When you have to lean over the console at the redlight because your too tall and it didn't help that you pulled too close and cannot see the actual light because of the 6" tall windshield.

 

When you must plan days, not hours, around performing a lowering treatment on the front suspension.

1 day to DO the job, and 1 day to recover.

And 100% related to that matter, you know you're a crossfire owner when 4mm (the difference between pad height) becomes a very significant measurement in your life.

 

...when going through the drive through ordering multiple orders, you have to ask them not to stack more than 2 styrofoam containers in a bag cause they won't fit through your window.

...then you get asked "what kind of car IS that???"

 

when your kicking the tire after you lost to a new toyota corrolla in a race (crossfire n/a).

 

F me... I do this all the time...I would say at a majority of the redlights...haha this is great.

I'm sure I look slightly moronic to the other drivers while doing it.

 

you have a tiny dog...and tiny perrier

 

...When you can spend 20 minutes correcting the 5 Star Chrysler Dealer and Mechanics as to what they thought they new about the Crossfire and its history, styling, manufacturing methods performed by Karmann and that's not even getting into the workings of the SRT.
The looks on their faces are somewhere between pi$$ed off and disapointed when you tell them your only there for a part because you choose to do the work yourself.
You actually slow down so you can get a good look at your car before getting in it. Then drive past the showroom window which proudly displays a new "hot" Challenger that your little V6 will out run.
When we're in our Crossfires, it's like my license plate reads,
EZ2BHPY

 

I check the radar before heading home to determine if I'll take the XF on a ride round town after work or just stay home.

 

Let me know when that happens. I'll bring beer!

 

When you always carry your wallet in a front pocket, because you can't put it in a back pocket and drive this car in anything approaching comfort!

 

C'mon! Every day is a Crossfire day!

 

You know when you're a Crossfire owner when...

You spend the day cruising around in your Crossfire and then come home and log on to the forum and start to dig up these old threads to bring them back for the newbies to see and reply to.

So all you regulars....cut me some slack..lol
I'm a little bored and just having some fun.

 

You know when you're a Crossfire owner when...

You realize you are 50 years old and have been flirted with by women more in the past 16 months (always at a gas station or rest stop) since you bought the car - than in the 49 years before that.

You know when you're a Crossfire owner when...

You spend sunday evening following some guy named Gary around a car forum reading posts from up to six years ago about a car you just discovered last year.

You know when you're a Crossfire owner when...

You keep muttering, "gotta have another" and you are NOT talking about a beer.
(You just can't stand it any longer, owning a Crossfire Roadster means only that you MUST NOW HAVE a Crossfire Coupe.)

 

Don't marry them Mark!!!

You know you are a Crossfire owner when...

some of your good friends are people you've met a handful of times in person, but you know from the forum that they are AWESOME.

you look at your closet before a GTG and think "I have to go buy some more driving friendly clothes" so that all the XF pics don't have you in the same outfit.

 

you know you are a crossfire owner when you are willing to cut Gary some slack for digging up old outdated threads......

 

I am gonna play a trick on my friends at church that is connected with that remark. I'll tell ya about it when it happens.

DAMN! I was gonna post almost the same thing.

Honestly, never thought about that. But I'm not a girl!

 

Whatta ya talkin about "Outdated" ?
Still relevant discussion for those who missed them.
Hey....don't you have some work to go do somewhere...LOL
