On 02/16 I was pulling onto I-40 West at a Cookeville, TN ramp around 7:20 PM EST when a really good looking coupe passed me headed the same way. Unfortunately, I was driving a POS rental compact (Suzuki Forenza) but I took off after the coupe. Turns out it had NC plates and 'OneAudio' stickers on both side windows. After-market rims which really stood out even at 80+ mph. Stayed with the coupe from Cookeville to Nashville, nearly 85 miles. In Nashville we went our separate ways. Figured the owner belonged to this site.

Anyway, I hope the owner wasn't PO'd at me in my POS rental. I dogged him for quite a few miles. You'll never know when you come across another XFire owner, even if they're not driving a XFire.

Oh by the way, the NC Coupe was really sweet looking!

 

With the overall rise in used car prices during the depleted new car market due to lack of computer chips, it is interesting to see the Crossfire prices starting to climb. My most recent search on AutoTrader for Crossfires with less than 30k on the odo identiifed nearly 25 cars scattered across the country (which in & by itself is consideraby more than normal) but the prices are anywhere from $18k to $30k. Too rich for my blood! I love my 2007 Coupe, which only has just over 26k on the ODO, but it aint't worth that much! My guaranteed insured value of $12.5k with Hagerty is good enough. I know what I pay for that insured value; imagine with the premum is for $25-30k!

OOPS! Website jumped threads on me.
