Last week I drove my 2005 SE (blaze red) Crossfire convertible home. A little nerve racking, I flew to Cleveland in the morning bought the car and drove 550 miles 9 hours back to St Louis with it. Drove perfectly and the AC worked great. What a fun car. I'll be spending much time in this forum

 

Welcome
We have a few others in the St. Louis area
Ya might see them once in awhile
If ya use Facebook look for the "Gateway Crossfire Group" where several events are hosted by other Crossfire owners in your area

 

That's how you find the RIGHT car. THe right car is NOT going to be local.

In 2009, I found my first Red Roadster 90 miles from the house - but it was never the right car. Sold it after I bought the Graphite.
In 2010, I flew to Arizona for the Graphite, 2200 mile drive to get home that time. (Bought sight unseen based on a visit from a local forum member who went to look at it for me, seller was also a forum member.)
In 2015, I flew to Florida and drove home 475 miles with my SE. (I'd seen that car at the Dragon maybe two years earlier.)
(I lived in GA back then.)

 

Congrats! Have fun and enjoy it!
