Do you think we EVER get tired of seeing our Crossfires? I think NOT... as much as I see mine I still want to see others! What is with that? Seems I can't get enough of this car! Is crazy! I feel weird!... lol

 

"You must be 'Car Crazy'" (Man that guy is goofy. So is Dennis on that other car show - you know - the one with the out-of-control handle-bar moustache?)

I have noticed over the years that I have increased interest in seeing the car I drive. I never notice them when I don't own one, then when I do, I see them everwhere.

This time, that's not completely the case - I have see less than ten Crossfires in almost two years of ownership. For me, that's alright. It reminds me of when I drove my E-Type Jag - I only saw three or four on the road, and the rest only at the shows.

In a way I like the exclusivity, though sometimes I wouldn't mind seeing one going down the road the same direction as me, just so I could watch it in action from outside.

Last weekend I saw a DB9 pull up behind me. Honestly, at that point the exclusivity of my Crossfire sort of shriveled up and blew away. That's OK. The base model Aston Martin nudges $100K. I'd buy one in a heartbeat but that would have me moving into a trailer park to afford the payments. Hmmmm.... That doesn't sound too bad...

 

So how's this for 'car crazy'.....Yesterday, I was driving my 'non-Crossfire' car, a 2000 Miata and as I descended onto a highway ramp that I often use in my daily travels, the Miata speedometer hit 62 and I looked into my rearview, anticipating the automatic spoiler deploying!!!!

That is too funny Monty, you've been well cross-trained!!!! And I know what you mean Deb, I'm the same way, and even my wife has gotten into it. She'll tell me she saw a red Cross going north on whatever, or she'll even see them before me when we're out running around. I never get tired of looking for them, kinda like a car version of 'where's Waldo"!

 

They always put a big smile on my face whenever I walk into the garage.

 

Nahhhhhh, I catch a perma-grin every morning on the drive into town !

 

You'll know you're beyond the breaking point when your spouse finds you, once again, staring out the window at your Crossfire: and just shakes her/his head in surrender...


Addiction doesn't have to be ugly. Or bad.

 

Actually, I can tell you details about the three times I spotted a Crossfire on the road within the year before I bought mine. Each time, I was riveted with interest and struck with awe at the lines of those beautiful cars. Sort of the reason I wound up with one.

I've only seen one once since then, and was driving my truck when it happened.

 

It is still a very unique car. Last summer I saw quite a few around here, lots of roadsters but this summer hardly any. I know of two in this area that were totalled. There is only one car I want more right now and that is out of my reach at this point, a 34 Ford Speedster from the Roadster Shop. Looks a bit like a Prowler but with a "real" engine in it. So until lightening strikes I'm very happy with my Crossfire, best car I've ever owned.

I moved my office to the other corner of our building just so I could have a view of my car while at work. Thought it was bad when I first had my base coupe; now that I have the SRT, I'm not getting ANY work done! LOL This car is an addiction or a sickness, but I haven't figured out which.

 

Hahahaha, glad to know I am not the only one that goes to the window just to look at my car!!! Thought I was sick or something!!! They are beauties!

It's gotta be that SSB... The new color of hotness!

 

Well we all know, including the Creator, that SSB IS the BEST color!!!

 

...after BLACK.

 

Actually RED.

Black is not a color.

 

Lets not turn this into a "my cars color is the best" thread.

 

I agree. There is no debate. Black Crossfires RULE.......

 

You started it!

Black. Ha-ha-ha! Good one!



(AERO BLUE)

 

ok first of all white is the best.... secondly a c32 is better.... 3rd and final comment.... black is faster

but a white c32 even if it wasnt fast would be better than my srt-6... why? you may ask.... wellllll basically i have always wanted a c32 but they are still pricey for a car that has more miles than the crossfire and its older too..... sooooooo yay crossfire i wish you had 4 doors nav and a sun roof... but i can live.

i am just glad i dont see other ones all the time it makes me feel better about the car.

 

Actually, I said But for all you black fanboys, I had one... Key word being HAD!
