I wouldn't do it.

I answered:
I'm sure you could fill em in.
Question asked and answered.
Funny...I thought I was making relevant response.
And if that isn't good enough for ya (former NXMX5) I'm even willing to wager that somebody has already done it.

Thank you sooo much for setting me right. I'm taking my Crossfire BACK to the dealership and I'm going to tell them about this enlightening moment, and ask them to find whatever car it is that is just like a Crossfire except it has no lines on the hood and has a really kickas* cupholder. THAT will SO be the car for me. Man, I can't WAIT to see it!
