My wife is now trained to notify me when she sees a Crossfire while out and about.
She called me Friday morning a 9:45 am and told me she had just spotted not one but two Crosfires within five minutes while driving on I-88 eastbound near Naperville rd.(Naperville,Ill)
She saw a RED ROADSTER and a BLACK COUPE

anyone here ???

I decided to take my car to the self wash today, and on my way there I saw a red roadster parked in the Vet office on RT176 in Crystal Lake. While I was wiping my car dry at the car wash, another XF, this time an SSB was there getting washed. I started talking to the guy, and it turns out he bought one of the first, if not the first XF in Illinois. He got his in July, 2003. He's got 125,000 miles on it, and the car looks like new. I invited him to join the forum, and as it turns out he registered here back in 2003, and just posted his first post today.

Thanks FP for this thread.
I guess this is the most appropriate place for this post.
Forgive me for multiple posts in multiple threads but........

I saw a Black Coupe with a woman driving at 11:30 this morning on Eola rd at Liberty in Aurora,Ill.
At the stoplight I gave her my card and told her to check out the forum.
She also has some sweet chrome aftermarket wheels on her Crossfire and it was very clean.

I figure the other thread was being used for all of North America . So Chicago-Land gets their own .

I saw a black roadster going east bound on RT60 in Vernon Hills, (yes VH again), at about 12:50 PM today. It had the top down, and the wing up.

No, I was not looking at a mirror
