Maybe, depending on the day, time & location!

DAN: Just driving down the road like we did last spring with the Malibu Hook-up is pretty boring for a car of this caliber, don't you think ? I'm still pushing for the track days at Willow Springs, Button Willow & Laguna Seca. I guess the only Crossfire owning adrenalin junkies in S. CAL are myself and SASKINS.

Ok but most of us are just road racers and I would like to just have a little fun. And see some of the members.

Excuse me, I may be reading you wrong but that appears to be a real arragont statement for you to make on a large Crossfire forum such as this. By your own admission, there are only a handful of owners who have raced their cars.

You know you just threw a lot of Crossfire owners under the bus because they were out touring rather than on the track with you. From what I've seen, there were 15 or 16 cars on that trip, weren't there? I can see if "touring" isn't your bag but your statement is really way off base when someone is trying to get a trip going. Maybe you should also get in touch with the So Cal Lambo club and tell them the same thing. They did a similiar run in the same general area last summer. I'm sure it will go over real well with them, they would laugh you and your Crossfire off the street.

As for the Crossfire being a car of such "caliber", come on. It's a well built, 3.2L V6 MB, with a good looking American body that is being sold and serviced by Chrysler. Hardly a car of such caliber. One last thing, Chrysler in their own literature considers the car a cruiser, not a sports car.

deep breath dude, in and out, and lambo shmambo, lambo owners arent tough, they're just wealthy. he was just trying to stir up some people to go to the track, which im completely down to go depending on the date and time, so dont take everything to heart. i'll buy you a ice cream if we see each other at the meeting, we're all friends here, some just have a different sense of humor than others, no hard feelings.

This is a hook-up thread not a track-up. HDDP knows that, as for all us going there great I'd even do that but, remember your helmets!

Any suggestions ?

I was thinking a 1 day run breakfast thru dinner .
Hi Dan, pick a date and a location and let's see what happens. I'm fairly booked with work the next couple months, but maybe, if the date is right.

Don't forget the Yosemite hook-up, it's going to be a big one!

love to go with ya Dan, but can't figure out how to get the xfire out there without driving it the salt up here. Plus a 3 day drive there and three days back for a one-day drive is kinda silly. Maybe next January when The Buckeyes play USC in the Rose Bowl for the National championship. Naw I'll probably fly out!

Haven't heard of, or seen any posts yet. I bet there will be, though, because we are getting a lot of xf people on here from this neck.

I'd disagree with all that mumbo jumbo too. Back when I had my WRX we did a cruise of like 10 WRX's and 5 EVO's. Cars obviously meant for rally and track days...yet it was a blast!
