The board is like that at times.
I see it, and it's full size, too.

Oh, one thing, the body was American designed, but the Crossfire was built in Germany in the Karmann plant. (Take a look at the sticker on the driver's door.)

And again, you have the best color for the SRT Coupe.

That is what I did here:

I have to say, the lines and form in this picture rival that of the crossfires lines.................

Welcome to the best forum around.

I'm not sure what color you are mistaking for Machine Gray, but it is definitely not flatter, nor milkier, than Graphite. Once you see one, you will know what I'm talking about.

I too have trouble with pictures sometimes not showing but, luckily, not today.

Also, I too wear a bikini under my racing jumpsuit.

When I hijack a thread, I do it in a way we can all enjoy and learn from it.

Yea, and you could probably beat her time at the Dragon if she don't drive it any better than she does the NASCAR road courses ........

Yes, yes... I stand corrected: my fingers worked faster than my brain. In fact I did know that these were produced in Germany. I guess the American brand badge still gets me mixed up.

As for the color, I agree: I simply love it. My personal favorite. However, each of these machines is simply beautiful, and it will be nice to see some other colors as I get more involved with the community. I just never see them around the Portland, OR area very often.

It is an awesome forum! Everyone here knows so much more than me about the car I just purchased, and I can't wait to learn from the best!

Regarding the color: When I Google "Machine Gray Chrysler Crossfire" I get mixed results. Some look dark & somewhat akin to the Graphite Gray, while others look more similar to the Sapphire Silver. If anyone can post a definitive photo, that would be great!

There is a lot of great info here. There were two different greys made, Graphite Grey and Machine Grey. Machine Grey was only available from 2006 onwards and is slightly darker than the Graphite Grey. If yours is a 2005 model, I'm very certain it is Graphite.
