----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey a long time ago I sent Super street an e-mail and so they put my car on the May 2007 issue. I just found out its pretty small.
http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...ides_info.html

Paul Superti, ARMY
Rocks a '04 Chrysler Crossfire
See it rolling in Logan, UT
Peep the 18- and 19-inch Stern ST1 rims; Flowmaster exhaust; Mopar rear fascia; Intrax suspension; carbon fiber dash kit; Kenwood head unit; Kicker speakers; Nitrous Express kit
Paul says, "Since I'm in the Army, I attend recruiting activities at city fairs, colleges and high schools on a weekly basis with the Crossfire and people love it."
Carter says this'll probably be the only time you'll ever hear me saying this, but that is a clean Crossfire. Except for the bra. Only females should wear bras. Er, scratch that. Bras are, like, so pass, yo.



Paul Superti, ARMY

Hey I also show up on the Sierra Vista Herald about last weeks car show. Here is the link.

Cool but what is that guy saying? That he thinks Crossfires suck? LOL, I love the rest of the ricer garbage with 500 lbs of spoilers. Like the Tiburon below you.

Congrats though bro.

exactly where this car belongs in super street, along side all the other cars with oversized spoilers, and other tasteless mods... just my 2 cents.

You've got a nice car there. Can't believe you show it with that FUGLY bra on it. Get rid of the greasy black vinyl. Please!

Paul, congrats on getting your car posted in that on line magazine. That "Carter" character must have really liked your car, to give ya such a backhanded compliment. Then not to find out about it until months later, must have made you feel pretty good too.
Something similar happened to me a long time ago. I participated in a Muscle Car Showdown at a local Dragstrip that was sponsored by a Muscle Car Magazine. I believe the year was 1988.
Anyway, my AMX was running exceptionally well during time trials, and I raced 3 or 4 different cars and beat everyone. Then when the actual eliminations started, my car "vapor locked" on my first run and it was all over right at the tree. So I put the car in drive and went down the strip at about 3/4 throttle. Back to the pits, packed up and went home, and forgot about it.
Flash forward to 1995, and I'm at a big car show and swap meet in Dayton Ohio, and I'm showing my car. Later on as I'm walking around the swap meet I find an old Muscle Car Magazine that has a car that I recognized from that Super Car Showdown I had attended so many years before on its cover, so I buy it. Later that night I'm at home, and I found out they reported all the E.T.'s of the cars that ran that day, and they listed the run I made when the car vapor locked. Which was 17 something.
But much to my surprise, on the 2nd. page of the magazine (above the index) there was a really cool photo of my car while I was staging. So I didn't mind them posting the slowest time I had ever ran in my life at the drags.

Congrats. While your mods might not be to others taste, you have made a unique vehicle even more so. I can see the LOVE. Enjoy it, you made it yours.

Yeah just remember from my previous post that the picture on Super Street and many others going around the forum are very old. The first page of my site has some newer pictures.

You lackluster owners are envious of him getting HIS car in a magazine,but I dont see YOUR car in any. His car is a great looking car, compared with all the rest. "tasteless mods"; what the hell does that mean. Aftermarket wheels and a bra. I would easily run a bra like that if I could find one. So what, it keeps the front end clean. And I'm looking for some aftermarket wheels for mine also. To each his own, but to trash someone's car is low, very low, seeing that you have the same car, only less.

Thanks, yes its just no fair to be criticized all the time by people that do not contribute to the forum and other haters. Anyways, I was exited to see the small article on the "ricer magazine" but... I still am.

of course you don't understand the malice, seeing as you are a newer member. it wasn't too long ago i was selling my car, and this guy created a user id to try and make fun of my car, please see the following thread for reference:

https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ight=2004+sale

as far as i am concerned, he earned the malice primarily by insulting my old car, and of course, putting srt-6 stickers, and carbon fiber stickers on his car.

maybe, you don't realize i sold my crossfire months ago, and got an ext*see sig*...anyhow, as i stated the "tasteless mods" include a "stick-on" carbon fiber dash kit(getting the pieces overlaid in cf is cool, but stickers...), and srt-6 stickers he had on the car. btw, my crossfire was not stock when i had it, sorry to disappoint and the last thing i care about is getting it put into an import mag.

here's a few pics for you:

What the hell is wrong with a guy having his car in a magazine? I have no clue what you mean, JP2005. You sold your car with chrome rims, WTF, so what. PSOPERTI had no replies to your sale as I've seen, so why trash him. I've had many cars over my lifetime, and only 1 made it to a magazine. I might be new, but I can smell an A**hole when I hear from him. I've sat here for over 10 minutes and I still dont know WTF you mean by your reply. Have a nice day. Are you pissed about something? Hey, you want to show some PIMP, some real "Ricer", why not show us your EXT, sittin' on 24's, boy that would be a great car for the hood.

JP2005 What the hell is your problem? Are you crazy? Can you prove this? So what if my Utah State University dorm has the same IP address, it does not mean anything. You've got to be out of your mind to attack me for no reason like this, and make claims such as this. What, I year has passed and you did not even asked me about my friend. People, its not right to treat anyone in this matter, I'm good person and forum member. I'm United States Army officer and I fight for our freedom, the same freedom that lets us do what ever the hell we want with our cars!

Who's, buddy, are you talking about me? Strupgolf. I might be confused by something I said but I'm not sure we all understand what everyone thought they meant and really did not say because we all dont have any idea of what they might be thinking yesterday and then say tomorrow what she didn't think we thought about the inside matter of the outside and if we were to say that we might be able to be amused by the thoughts of someone else, then we might be persuaded by the facts. If this confuses you, so what, it does me too. PSOPERTI, great job, military wise, I salute you and all you do.
