Default Where is everybody at?

I drove 700 miles today around Ohio and Indiana, mostly during the daylight hours, and never saw one Crossfire.

Next time drive farther north to Michigan and you will see lots of crossfires. I live in a small town and there are at least 12-16 of them running around. Most of them are vert's. I see more crossfires than sky's.

I’m in Chelmsford, Essex, UK, and have not seen many around town. I’ve seen one parked near a supermarket once. Apparently, there is a red one as well, but I’ve not seen that. We don’t have a Chrysler dealer in town any more, so maybe that’s why.

Coincidentally, on my way to a UK meet last weekend, I saw a roadster going the other way (the first time I have seen one being driven when I’m driving mine) on the outskirts of town. So maybe there are a few around, but they are a-hidin’…

Melinda, that's so funny, I say the same thing to my Wife all the time. But yesterday I was in my Honda, and still no Crossfires.
Frank, I think there are so many in Michigan because Chrysler gave them away to employees as "party favors".
Actually Chrysler did offer its employees some great deals on them, and I think that's why there are so many there.

Yeah, there's only about two or three in my area. Of course, I only see them when I'm not in mine. They really look at me funny when I beep and wave.

Don't let it bother ya Tom, Sometimes I get "funny" looks from other XF drivers even when I'm in my Crossfire.

Did either of you guys wave or did it turn out like a deer-in-the-headlights kinda thing?

If you would drive to my dealer you'll see my car in the back WHERE ITS BEEN FOR 5 FRICKING WEEKS. They have the motor torn apart installing new pistons, rods, etc, etc. I think they have" Guber from Mayberry" working on it. I cant f*****g believe it would take this long. All for a little knocking. I've had this car in the shop more than on the road. When I get it back, its bye bye baby, see ya later. I've never had a car with so many problems. Its a dynamite looking car, but who cares if no one ever sees it. Its a dynamite road car that handles like few others, but who cares if you cant drive it. I cant say for sure, but I hope this lack of experienced mechanics who know these cars will be few and far between in the future. Here's to all of you and these cars, enjoy. I'm already looking around for something else.

well, the guy in the passenger side pointed at me... and i was just in awe that there was a crossfire in my neighborhood and never saw it. but to answer ur question... i think it was more like a deer-in-headlights type thing. i bet they were just as surprised as i was.

well... you've gotta like the exclusivity - and it's fun to see other crossfires on the road sometimes... but a guy at my office took a liking to my car and went and bought one as well. Now there are two in the parking lot. That's just not right!

Very good point Jay.
But it sure is fun to get together with a "bunch" of Crossfire owners, (and their cars).
