Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new purchase. I'm in Shakopee so if you're here in the cities, we'll have to get together and spill a few beers and chat about these wonderful little cars we have. If you have any questions or ever need any help with anything with the car, I'm always more than happy to offer assistance. BTW, this applies to all the rest of you MN guys as well.

Take care everyone and have a safe weekend.

Wow is it's a small world. I'm actually up tinkering on the car so if you've nothing better to do on a Friday night, you're more than welcome to stop by. My number is 952-292-4477 if you want to call for directions. I'll be up for a while so don't worry about calling too late.

Take care

It was nice to meet you tonight, Rudy! Your SRT6 is gorgeous and sounded amazing on our cruise.

See you on April 3rd at C&C hopefully.

Thanks! One of my other hobbies aside from cars is photography. We should have another Crossfire meet-up somewhere and I can bring my camera!

yeah, that'd be really cool. Too bad you weren't joined yet when we had our mid-winter GTG, we had a great time. i'll look forward to meeting you. But again, really nice pics and settings, great composition.

Awesome shots, Alzilla!

I loved the shot with the railroad crossing sign - very appropriate. Hope to see all you guys and the new guys soon! Another trip to Stillwater? Oh, wait - the deck is probably under water right now! Anyway, the weather's getting nice, and it's time to let the Crossfires run!

It's not looking that way right now. I have so many irons in the fire right now so I'm gonna try to make it but planning on not if that makes any sense.

I keep seeing more and more Crossfires out on the road lately. I saw another Graphite coupe like mine on 494 on Tuesday, a Blaze Red coupe yesterday, and then today I saw a Blaze Red special edition roadster and an Oyster Gold coupe.

I dunno, maybe I'm just seeing more of them now that I own one but I never noticed any before and now they seem to be popping up all over the place! Maybe they've all been hiding in St Paul all this time...

We're a pretty free easy going group so come on up and we'll take anyone with one of these cars. BTW, bring up a few of those cougars with ya. Just make sure they're an 8 or better!

You can fit more than two people in these cars. I've tried and succeeded and no, there wasn't anyone in the trunk! LOL
