Crossfire roadsters are too common
 
On my drive home from the office early this afternoon, I stopped at a traffic light, and there were 3 of us at the intersection. My yellow roadster and two blue ones. How often does that happen? Crossfires are getting too common around here, like Lamborghinis and Bentleys. I think it's time to find something a little more exclusive.

;)No srt6 roadsters for sale on auto trader. You can't get any more exclusive than that. Gary

I have only seen two CF's in the almost year I have owned mine here in Vermont. One of them a forum member. Rare as hens teeth up here.

The only Lambos and Bents we see up here are on TV.

In a recent thread, I mentioned seeing two other yellow roadsters within a mile while driving near my home. Crossfires are everywhere around here!

I can see why they would be popular in FL. You might have also had a dealer in the area that was liquidating the last of them. There is an area around Dallas/Ft. Worth where Crossfires are common because a dealer in that area was snatching them up and selling them cheap.

Bought my roadster in Sarasota last November. Brought it up north, so now you have one less.

Lots of Crossfires around here, hardly any are forum members. It is not uncommon to see one every day.

I have to agree to this. I see more coming to the Northwest, I bought our second Xfire from Wyoming. I see a few around town but, they don't know there is a Club (CICCI) or there is a friendly Forum. If you look where most are being sold from, that would be in Florida, Texas, and the Midwest. Notice most are in the hotter climates. I only wish that more show up in the Northwest, (like Colarado) to have a local club. Getting together with owners who think their Crossfires more than just a car but, good times with others is what this car is all about. It is fun to drive again...I will never go back to anything else. I love the complements, I love the car. I love the fun it brings. It must have showed, my wife had to have one also!

At the Firehouse Doc? You know how busy we are don't you :) Feel free to stop by some day I work at HWY 25 and Sagamore Parkway (US 52) Station 6.

LOL you are in Sarasota, there is no easily attainable high end convertible you will not see on a regular basis. If one of those blue ones was SSB, it was probably one of my parents in their roadster :D

UNfortunately I was just up there, at Saint Elizabeth's with a family member. Next time, under better circumstances, I will give you a shout...

They are all over the place in Florida and when they dropped the price on them a few years ago the dealerships around here had lots full of them with $10,000 off stickers all over the windshields. Not to mention the fact that with no snow they are year round transportation.

There must be at least ten of them here in The Villages, Fl. When I put my card on the windshield they never get in touch with me about the forums.

Sometimes on a sunny Sunday morning I'll take a drive along the coast from Dana Point to Long Beach and back. I'll see more Lamboghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, and Maseratis than Crossfires - in fact, on those drives I almost never see another Crossfire.

In 2006 I bought my SE Roadster new in the wrap for $25, 000. Those days are long gone. Gary

That is a common thing with a lot of XF's in the St. Louis area. Heck some of them are so snobby they look at you when driving in parking lots like "how dare you acknowledge me". Oh well, I think more roadsters the better the area. ;)

Mike,
You are right. A drive down PCH, on the weekend, is it's own car show. Mercedese are the Cheverolets of Dana Point, Laguna Beach, Newport crowd. I think There are more Lambos, Masserrati's and Ferrari's per capata than anywhere else in the world. Not to mention Rolls Royce, Bently's Porche's, Panterras and Custom Hot Rods and Classics of all kinds. It is amazing. The value of all of those vehicles being driven has got to be astronomical. The Crossfire does still get glimpses of attention though.:cool:

Re: Crossfire roadsters are too common
 
On our recent Epic journey to the Dragon and then CT Cathy and I saw only one Crossfire other than those of The Group at Fontana.

It was a white roadster who's driver pretended not to notice three aero blue SRT's following Jane Bridges' Graphite SRT thru Kentucky.

However, we did see two Porsche four door sedans (weird) and a sea of Prius cars trying to prove they could go as fast in traffic as our SRT's.:confused:
