I was in Texas the other day and saw a yellow Crossfire. I didn't know they existed in yellow.

I sometimes see a black Limited coupe parked in front of the Ryerson building on 169 north of 55. Does it belong to anyone here?

over the last couple of weeks I have been going through Farmington on Hwy 3, and I see this black base Cross sitting on the lot at the NW corner of 3 and 50. It looks so lost there, a princess among the trolls, LOL! I wonder if they picked that up from the Fury dealer in SSP? I think it may be a roadster, all black so as I think about it I just can't remember. Just know I don't see silver accents on it.

I just had a chance encounter with a very nice nice gentleman named Justin, who drove into my office building lot in an 04 red lltd coupe, with the mesh grille. Very nice car. I was surprised to see the Cross cruising through, so had to introduce myself, and talk the car. Glad to have met you Justin!

Spotted a Black SRT06 coupe last night after work.
I pulled behind him on 494 off of Penn ave in my Big red 4dr ram. Had to play catchup to finally get next to him after the minnesota river bridge, gave him a thumbs up. Had a GPS on the windshiled.

Anyone here?

I've used Fury Motors in South St. Paul several times and have not been disappointed. Good service done on time and helpful with any questions I've had about my Crossfire.

Default Re: Minnesota X-fires-Farmington Black Cross/dealerships

I went by that little lot in Farmington, and it looks like that little black base cross is gone-hopefully it got a nice new home. As far as dealers are concerned, i bought mine at Barnett, and I was overall impressed. You're in Little Canada and they are in Maplewood on 61 so pretty close. I live in the south metro and I've had her in to Larry Reids Bloomington Chrysler, and the service department has been good. They do what they say when they're going to do it. They've been helpful when i had an issue with freezing of the windscreen washer tank by letting it thaw rather than telling me it was cracked and whatever and just then refilling it and sending me on my way. They also replaced my siren, got alarm chirp now, and gave me a windo where the Cross tech would be in and could get to it right away and worked with my schedule. they've done a good job there. And Fury in SSP has been a good shop too. My father bought alot of his cars there and was always impressed with their sales and service. Mark

I hate car dealers and I also think that Fury motors is probably the best Chrysler/Dodge dealer around. They have deep pockets and more to offer than small dealers.

Never had any work done at Fury, however thats where I go for all my parts. Seems like a good place.
I have had work done at Barnett, and would shop there if I lived closer. Thats a good place IMO. I bought my first ACR neon from a salesman there, it was his personal car. We became good friends and he has had nothing but good things to say about Jim Barnett, the owner and went to school with his son. My GF bought her car from Barnette and Jim was great to us personally.

I've been very happy with Fury Motors in Lake Elmo, MN.
Seems sincere about getting job done correctly. Stood behind me on some PT Cruiser repairs a little bit past warranty expiration. Covered major alignment work on a used Crossfire because "it was previously a Chrysler Exec's car". I'm talking a couple thousand $. They are one of the dealerships Chrysler wants to close, despite that their 2008 sales are up and profitable. There was a huge customer support rally in the neighborhood. Band, food, speaches by the mayor and congresswoman. A very loyal customer base seemed apparent.

I was going to suggest Fury Lake Elmo, however they are one of the dealers to get the axe from chrysler. They will be no more.

I don't live in St. Cloud, but my wife and I graduated from St. Cloud State years back. We still love to cruise up their on occasion to take in our favorite resturant- Bravo Burrito.

Wouldn't mind meeting up with you sometime to talk cars/cycles. I've got an Aero Blue SRT-6 Coupe + three motorcycles.

My wife and I are not in St. Cloud, but we're in Plymouth - it's a close drive. Are any Minnesota Crossfires going to get together this summer?

The next few weeks are busy with some business travel but mid to late July would work and on the forum. I have done some follow up on some of the articles I read on the forum and at some time would like to drive the "Tail of the Dragon". I found it is in NC north west of Charlotte and my business takes me south east of Charlotte. Last year on a trip to NM we meet a Corvette club at a hotel (22 Corvettes traveling together). It would be fun and unique to get 10+ Crossfires cruising together, much harder to get 10+ Crossfires in one place than Corvettes.

I know of one other Crossfire in the St Cloud area but don't know the driver. A North Shore drive in the fall or St Croix or SE Minnesota cruise would be good. Do you have some favorite curvy roads in your area. There are some fun County roads in central Stearns country (Albany area) that are fun.
