Guilty, it was us, that crazy trip to Cali on a spur of the moment to chase a Crossfire! Flew out of Atlanta at 4am Saturday morning of Labor Day weekend. Rented a car and drove straight to it. It was exactly as represented, bought it and on Monday started back across the states to Atlanta. Arrived home the following Sunday after noon. Took the I-40 route and detoured to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe, NM, Tulsa, stopped in Memphis for some Blues and Ribs, then to Nashville for some VOLS Football, then home on Sunday. About 3000 miles. THIS WAS A BUCKET LIST TRIP!

Trying to locate another couple to come with us in our other SRT!

Couple are Yet to be determined Valkryderguy.

We are taking the scenic route. I have seen the numbers; I am quite jealous... Not to thread jack but IF I get back up and running the 17th, we need to test & tune the 21st... I don't wana do my ~1800 miles and end up on a flatbed.

Wish I could make it to this, I have only ever seen 3 other crossfires here in Reno, NV. Just too far of a drive for me at this time in my life.

Too bad you missed the CAA inDenver CO.

Move to Florida. Gobs of Crossfires and just 12 hours to the Dragon.

Just as hot as Vegas.

I would have been there if I hadn't just recently stumbled upon this site. I finally had a problem with my Crossfire after putting 50k miles on it (bout it around 20k) and found the answers I needed provided by the very informative members here. All I ended up needing to do is disconnect the battery... Now why couldn't the Chrysler or Mercedes mechanics tell me that... haha

I hope to get back to FL one day. I grew up around Tampa and it would be great to see something other than SUV's on the road.

I swear I must see at least an XF a day. I drive ~35miles round trip a day to Mizner Park daily and I prefer the calm streets like US1 which is a prime stretch of road for a convertible.

I pretty much live in a Crossfire "desert" here in Colorado. I am lucky if I see Crossfire every few weeks (unless it is a GTG). That's why I love going to the Dragon. Lots of great folks and great cars.

No Joke I just ran across 2 of them since my last post, one of them was a gray srt coupe. I really like them and would love to have one, but another m112 3v would be the death of me. I am really enjoying my diesel kick, so if any of the local XF's are reading this I am the "rat wagon" themed 1987 300tdt pushing 18psi. I would love a sprinter but there is nowhere to park one at work.

Back on topic I much prefer the SRT6 over the SLK32. These 55 swaps are must making me want to find a wreck and build one for myself. (then I think about m113's nope still a 3v!)

Nice looking Deb, I'll go down for two of those.

By the way, if you need any large format sheet fed printing up this way, drop me a line and I'll have my CSR get with you.

The more hats the cheaper it will be per hat. If we dont get enough interest then i might just make a few and bring them.

I gotta stay caught up with this thread...

Depending on what you are offering (pic's would help), I would be interested. Maybe you James, and Deb could come up with a joint design that would be good as a sticker and hat....just a thought.
