Default traded it in, sadly.

It's true, it's gone. I've owned a BMW M Roadster and a G35 previously and the Crossfire, by far, was my favorite. I can't help but to think the Crossfire community helped contribute to this, either. I learned more from this site than ever imagined (including a ton of jokes from that thread).
Anyway, I'm lucky enough to live basically on the Pacific Ocean, but only have a one car garage. I'm done relying on friends and my wife to use a vehicle that can hold my mountain bike (I saw a picture on this site with a bike on the back of a roadster, and it looked painful). I wanted to keep the Crossfire, but parking is impossible near the Ocean and I figured it would just get banged up if I parallel parked it and left it until the weekend. So, now everytime I see a Crossfire I get sad; but the good news is that when I look in the back of my new car, I see my bike and smile. As soon as I rent out this condo I'm in and buy a house, I look forward to having a nice SRT-6 in my climate controlled garage.

really sad: http://autos.yahoo.com/used-cars/chr...er&distance=50
Thanks for all of your help!

Sorry to see you go too, and good luck with your new car. Hopefully you will join us again with an SRT-6.

That's your car in the add ??
You turned it in with a custom grill and cold air intake ??
Those would have sold here in no time to a member if you had kept them.
Sorry ya had to make the sacrifice but there will be a day when you will have another one if you decide to. Gary

Well this explains why you didn't join us for Cars & Coffee and the run to Malibu today. Had you joined us, however, you would have witnessed the silver Lamborghini Gallardo on PCH with...wait for it...a bike rack on the back!!! I kid you not. If it can be done on a Lambo it can be done on anything.

Enjoy the new ride, and don't be a stranger. Hope to see you at C&C again sometime soon.
