I think one day people are going to look back and think that there was just something a little different about the crossfire, and that no one loved them more than their owners, because despite their mercedes liniage, they seem to have such an extremely unique personality. I love my crossfire for its quirks.

I went in to the service station to get a coke and came back out . . .

smiled all the way to the car . . . .

got in . . . .

closed the door . . .

Yelled to myself "That is a seriously f'n cool car!!" . . .

realized the window was open . . . . and other ppl were staring . . .

but you could tell from the look they were giving me . . .

That they completely understood what I was feeling.

Now I check the windows before I yell it.

2 month old SSB Autostick w/5k fantastic miles.

'njoy,
Mark

Miles of smiles from inside the car while driving and from outside of the car while driving by those wishing they had one! The Cheshire cat has nothing on me. 8)

Dan, did the Rotex pads make the brakes feel any softer or take more travel than the stock pads?

Default Love it!

I have only put 300 miles on mine but the ride and the way it handles is awesome. Heck, in the part of Virginia I have not seen another and most point, drop their jaw or just give a thumbs up when they see it. I don't see anyone doing that with a Z or Audi or some others costing twice as much. I am totally loving it! At 46 this thing makes me feel like I am 20, no thats my girlfriend thats doing that! LOL

After 14 months I still say.. for the price i don't see it getting much or any better... at all.. ever...

So in one way I am a happy crossfire owner, but I would prefer a slightly more expensive car...

I want to get the DB9 rather badly

I like mine so much I plan on keeping it till I cant drive anymore. Then I hope to give it to my nephew so he can take it to vintage car shows.
(he's only 7 months old.)
