many people do that heck. i could live anywhere including a tree house... i love Ikea furniture not into watches sold my chopard and rolex when i moved from fort lauderdale...love the simple life.

 

Absolutely! Money is the one of the easiest commodities to replace. XF's were built in a good time...our time!

 

I think Midnighman was just looking for demographics, and not to see who makes more than others. But some of you're right; money is not everything in life, and sometimes it's not what you make, but how well you manage/spend it.

I think we all spent it wisely on our crossfires.

 

Indeed. My in-laws always say 'It's not how much you make, but you manage it.' Seems very true.

 

The car payments are about the same as my last, it's the insurance and maintenance costs that kill me with this car. I'm somewhere in the middle as far as my own income... but it all goes to school and house payments, lol. Can't wait until I get that degree and move up to more comfortable living!

 

I included my Wife's income, because without it, we would have been unable to purchase all the cars that we've had over the years.

 

It varies for me. I voted based on what I made the last 3 fiscal years. Currently I'm unemployed. Anyone hiring?

 

there is one more thing about income, and that's what your income gets you in your area... ie cost of living here in the baltimore d.c. area for a 2 br condo in a good neighborhood your looking at 300k. so basically yeah i'm screwed no matter what lol!

 

Thank you FP for hitting the nail on the head.

Well, of course health and happiness come before everything.

After some thought, I realize now that as the price of the Crossfire has declined considerably over the past 2 years (especially used ones), so has the value of a poll like this. It has become a very affordable car, and a steal at current prices. Just about anyone can own one if they can afford the maintenance (premium gas, synthetic oil, expensive tires, etc.

The poll is also flawed insofar as my not taking household vs. individual income into consideration. Then there is the daily driver vs. second or third car "toy" factor, along with the parent-purchased car for their children who currently make the lowest income (if any) of their young lives.

But despite the possibly skewed numbers, the poll shows that over half of the respondents fall in the 85K+ category. Well over one third are above 100K. Another third fall between the 35K and 65K mark.

So what have I learned from this? I'll tell you what I've learned. I've learned that a heckuva lot of people here make a lot more than I do and I need to find out what you all are doing, if I can do it too, and how do I do it (without working hard). That's what I've learned.

 

Pimping pays well, and you don't do any of the work.

 

I'm a retired teacher and I now substitute almost full time. My wife is a Dr. Thanks to the "Doc" I have a Crossfire to drive.

 

With 1,049 views on this thread as of right now I see only 163 entries to the poll. Seems that a lot of people are reluctant to participate in the poll ??

 

Well I am pretty new to this forum and try to stay out of politics here. I think this is a ridiculous question. I am retired and make ZERO income. The tooth fairy dropped mine off one night. The Easter bunny might just be bringing me something else good. Oh, I forgot about Christmas (Oh I wish for a 2009 Crossfire II). Yep they are coming just wait and see. My fairy godmother is a Chrysler executive. Now don't get me wrong I have only had my 07 roadster for a little over a month I am no expert. But I do have connections and the inside scoop. What is funny most of you with think I am full of c-ap. Not so. Mark my word you heard it here first.
Features will include: 6 speed manual on the sport model (car name pending) and get this a Corvette engine, Crossfire II Luxury model will have Navigation (the real thing), IPod, hard top convertible on a very limited number, new wheels and a varity of new colors.
Signed,
Broke but connected!

 

I'm still waiting for the tooth fairy too. Income is just something that puts gas in the toys, beer in the fridge, and taters on the table. But these days, I'm not so sure about gas in the toys... 10 Months till retirement!!

 

Oh boy did you hit the nail on the head... And I'm an old timer here who gets blasted for reaming people out on this forum for spreading mis-information and being general knuckleheads... I decided to not rip into the person who posted this thread because I figured it was one of the many marketing people from the Chrysler Marketing Dept. that have routinely visited and asked the same REALLY STUPID QUESTION...

 

I must admit I'm in the upper tier of income. But from my perspective that really doesn't mean anything. I have been fortunate to have a good career. Having good friends, family and being able to share your interests (Crossfires) with other passionate people is wonderful. My other car is an 1993 RX7 twin turbo. I'm the original owner and it is undergoing a full rebuild. Chassis engine new paint etc. The crossifre is a second car for me but for now it is my DD. I bought the SRT6 for 24K with 56 miles on the odo. I think this was a terrific price. It's interesting to hear everyones comments about these wonderful cars. Performance is outstanding and it is a joy to drive. It will be interesting to see if th Firepower is made.

 

corvette motor??? wtf kinda connection do you have other than your lips to a crack pipe? was that mean? hddp did you not see this??? i guess there is going to be a gm chrysler merger by 2009?

 

Yeah well when someone makes a statement like "Corvette Engine" instead of LS1, LS2, etc. I'm pretty damned sure this poster doesn't know CRAP... Gee, was that too rude ?

 

ls1 ls2 it doesn't matter its a GM ENGINE !!! lol

 

I hope you know I wasn't talking about you... It was about the original poster... That being said, the Crossfire would have been a much easier (cheaper) modded engine if it was the LS1, LS2, or even the same EcoTech engine that they put in the Solstice... We surely would not be having some of the frustrations and lack of performance parts...

So, Please, gimme a Crossfire with a "Corevette Engine".
