In the 3.5 years that I have owned Crossfires, Wendy has driven one exactly four times. But she does make a great passenger. I would assume that Jane would drive her own vehicle...

I'll throw $20 in to the gas fund if you bring Beaners V8 to the Dragon.
Anyone else here willing to spare a few bucks to make this happen.
I'm totally serious with this offer and request.

Gary, thanks for the offer. I'd really like to see Beaner's car there too and I'd chip in for gas too if Beaner were bringing it! Beaner asked, and I was tempted but I really don't want the responsibility, if something happened to it, I couldn't live with myself. I saw what happened to Doc's car in Detroit and I was freaked and you know what happened to Beaner's car last time he was at the Dragon.................

3 supercharged V8's and a N/A V8 all in one place, all with different exhaust setup's... would be music to my ears. but I can't go. and Steve won't drive my car so.... maybe next year.

and yes, I got a little "ding" on the car last time I was there which was not too big of a deal since we watched the person do it unintentionally

He lets barely clad women sit on his engine with high heels on the fender, so he's not too worried about a little scratch or two.
Of course she could get away with putting a ding in it, but you not so much.

Maybe if Steve dressed the same and drove in hi heels he could pull it off.

Sorry Steve I couldn't resist.......And I am still laughing at the image. Sorry man.

This is a public service post only, I gain nothing from this other than knowing you might like these and your purchase helps the Walter P. Chrysler Museum.
Purchase details with photo description in gallery, they ship items.
