I remember when my wife and I first were looking for cars for each of just a couple of months ago. We saw the Crossfire advertised at CarMax and she said she loved it. We drove it the next day. I was looking at the time for a BMW convertible and we couldn't all get together on the deal. So I test drove the Crossfire and thought "I could do this". The price was ridiculously low so we bought it. So the looks got us, the drive was a blast and the price sealed it. I couldn't get the wings from hurting my upper shoulders so I ended up making the deal on the BMW convertible. But she looks great in it and I get to drive it every once in a while. If the seats were more comfortable for me, it would be my daily driver.

Re: The looks
I get a lot of looks too! For a grey haired old fart it is a thrill but I know it's the car, not me.
I bought the car so now I have a chance to see the front. Like most people, I mostly got to see only the back side of it. I park it in the driveway angled so my neighbors get a chance to see the front. They usualy only see it leaving......FAST!
The rear of this car is georgous but the view from the cockpit is the best and reserved only for those wise enough to buy one.
I'm looking for a T shirt that proclaims, "my other benz is a Mopar"
Roadster with a stick
