trophy from the stealership
Sold my N/A and bought an SRT recently.
At the dealership, I noticed a hallway back to the parts department which was covered in large, framed posters of various vehicles. They had Vipers, Chargers, Challengers, and of course, one Crossfire picture. So I said to the dealer, "Yeah, I'm paying cash for this car, and the Crossfire is discontinued anyways, so how about you give me that picture too." After shutting me down a few times, my persistence paid off.
Handed them a check, took the keys and paperwork, and yoinked it right out of the wall, frame and all. Just barely fit in the trunk of the SRT, and there I went.
Now it adorns the big blank wall above my stairwell. Evidence below:

DANG!
I gotta go look around at our local dealer to see if he has one hanging around.
I'll tell him since he's getting paid to do my warranty work he ought to give me the pic if it exists!

I'll tell you what:
since you now have an SRT, and I have an N/A, why don't you send that low-powered picture to me, and I'll reimburse you for shipping?
You don't want that on your wall. Really.
Heck I'll even throw in a pair of speaker caps to make yours sound better!

When I purchased the 2004 Xfire in 2005, the salesman gave me a 1:18 Motor Max black die cast model and the Chrysler advertising picture that is shown below. My wife worked at the dealership and we have purchased a few cars using this salesman.
When this salesman sold a car he gave a model to the buyer when it was delivered, nice touch.
I have a 2004 Coupe and the picture is a SRT6, I cannot complain. The picture is about 19" x 27

Since Max has a roadster and I have an NA coupe, it would only make sense.....

Pat - I am in Columbia.
Even though having an SRT poster would be cool, I like the Crossfire in general, and did own an N/A for a bit, so the memory of taking this picture from the dealer is worth more to me than having the SRT poster. Maybe I can find an SRT poster down the line, and have both up, kind of as tribute to both of my cars!
