I am 19 and I always have people asking me how I have a crossfire.


The common comments:

where do you work?33
you must make a lot of money
how you make so much money at that young age?
you must be extremely successful
how you driving a crossfire?
etc
etc
etc

It feels good lol

Is it bad that I don't tell them what I paid for it? I will just keep letting them think I am driving a 30-50k sports car.

 

How many kids have you killed slingin' that crack??

How many bodies are on that heater??


Anything like that??

I am 18 and drive a crossfire. I never get asked if I am sucessful thay alway ask what it is my parents do for a living... here are the most commonly ask questions??

How much does the car cost? the same class as a Boxter...
who makes it? made by mercedes Benz... sold by chrylser...
Is that a James Bond Car? 007 wishes he drove a car like this...
How fast does it go? It is governed at 160 but can go a lot faster...
will you marry me? who me or the car sweethart?

 

The Crossfire is nice, but an Aston Martin, whether it be DB7, Vanquish, or the MKIII; these cars aren't even in the same league...

no one has ever assumed that my parents got me the car strangely... well they didn't but anyway...


People have jokingly asked if I am a pimp or drug dealer lol

 

I am not going to argue with that but i live in a small town where a v6 mustang is the hottest thing going so people truly do not know the difference.. if i do not tell them they think it is a 100+ksports car

 

^

When I go on "roadtrips" and I have to stop for gas in small towns at like mom and pop gas stations it feels like I am a celebrity or something... I feel like everyone's eyes are on me lol.

What would they do if I had a lamborghini?

 

car jacking?

 

being 26 i get strange looks for dring my srt6, I get hit on alot in the car and never did in my old car, damn gold diggers =P

Normal responses are
What job do you have I want to work there?
How can you afford that car?
Are you a drug dealer?
I never tell them what i paid for it either.

 

Let them dig while you drill for oil and then DTB!

 

My 18-year-old son drives my coupe to school and school functions sometimes. It's a small rural high school and they all call him the "rich kid." He loves the attention the car gets him.

 

I get all sorts of comments, most people just ask what I do for a living. They wonder how a kid less than a year out of college can afford a 50K+ sports car.... Good thing it doesn't cost that much. THough now that I think about it, I do make more than most recent college graduates and could probably afford a 335 or something like that, but nah. I enjoy my extra cash in pocket, savings is a good thing.


Some other fun comments:

"What's that thing top out at?"

"How can you afford that car?"

"Why in the world did you buy that?" or "...did you buy a Chrysler?"

it never ends...though nowadays the comments are almost all good, less questions.

 

I'm 21 and I alway park up front at work. I alway get asked if it was my car. And how can you have that car working here? I always tell them that I deal drugs on the side. Funny enough another xfire owner came into my work and one of my co-workers asked him where he works and he replied, "I deal drugs."

 

I wonder what the optimum age is where you get no comments. Too young = Daddy's car huh? How do you reach the pedals? Too old = Midlife crisis huh, how far can you go before you have to pee?

 

+1. Being in L.A., I've had people scoff at a "lowly Chrysler", and I've had others ask if it's a Bentley (they were pointing at the Chrysler logo). But definitely pump n' dump while they're trying to figure out how much the car is worth.

 

I'm 20 and I get a lot of the same ****;

-what do you do?
-how can you afford this?
-how much did it cost?
-what is it?

I'm always honest with people. I'll tell them the sticker price, and the price that I actually got it for, and where they can go to find one if they should be interested.

The car does get a lot of attention from girls, though. A lot of 'will you take me for a ride?' and the like.

I avoid chicks like that.

Comments will always range, some people just never liked the crossfire from the start. 95% of comments are along the lines of 'beautiful car', 'nice car', etc. I've had one guy flat out call me gay for driving a crossfire as he walked past me in the parking lot.

Followed him and his prelude to the highway and absolutely ruined his day by ripping past him.

I was having trouble with the first statement until I read the second.

Why would you avoid them at your age?

 

[quote=maxcichon]I hang with classy chicks, man. I don't bother with the gold-digging-sleep-with-anything-that-moves types. Where is the fun in that? It's like fishing with dynamite. No fun.

 

[quote=khanable]
i like to fish with dynamite, but then just be selective about which ones i grab out of the water and take home...

 

The one question that I always get asked, especially within my circle of friends, is :

"Why did you settle for that car as a weekend car?"

My response has been :

"Because there's not a lot of them around town."

But then again I am not young either.. just young at heart..
