Default Seriously looking at the Crossfire, have an odd question

Would it be possible to hang shirts & pants in the Crossfire? I would be using the car for company travel 50% of the time. Hoping the Crossfire will be somewhat travel-friendly.



I come from the Audi forums and own a '95 90 Quattro (below). Fantastic car for the northern states.

I have been lurking here for a bit and have to say this looks like a great forum with great owners. Looking to join the ranks soon!

Sorry, there is no room to hang anything like coats, shirts, or even a hat in a crossfire.

Well you can hang a couple of hats on the umbrella hooks. That's what I use them for.

If you could find a place to hang something, you would most likely create a serious "blind" spot. Even if it was right behind the driver.

It would be a cool car for business travel otherwise. Except for the annoyance of all those Babes trying get in the car all the time.
Whew! such a pain.

Well you could probably string a cloths line from one side of the car to the other (just behind the head rests) and hang a coat hanger (with your laundry) just behind the passenger seat.
Slide the seat back as far as it will go, and everything will be nicely "pressed" when you reach your destination.

Next week, I'll show you how to cook up a Stoffers "French Bread Pizza" with an SRT's Super Charged "Pressure Cooker".

I use the umbrella hangers for hats as well and the occasional coat or sweatshirt.

Lay your clothes flat in the back. No hangers needed

Mike,
I think you've been away from your Crossfire (New AMX) too long, you are starting to hallucinate!

I actually picked up dry cleaning the other day and although I was unsuccessful in hanging clothes I did find a potential spot to hang dress shirts and such. On the back side of the passenger seat there are two plastic ***** affixed. They aren't quite big enough to hang a hanger on because of the angle. However I think that if there was a better U shaped hook there instead of a **** you could certainly hang clothes over the back of the chair and safety wall and down into the trunk!

Too funny.... I would have purchased an SRT-6 if I knew that trick... but they don't come in Alabaster.

naudi90, there is no spare tire and this is 2 seat sports car. You may be able to eat a Stoffers "French Bread Pizza" in the car but forget about using the cup holder for your drink.

Another Crossfire Laundry Trick:

If you have a Roadster, you could Do Wash & Dry in it by Hanging your clothes to be washed from the Roll bars in the Fresh Rain (Go Fast, so as to not get the Interior wet).
Then wait until the Rain stops & go out again on a nice Ride for the Dry Cycle.

(Will Dry faster in an SRT6 Roadster & on a Warm day, of course.)

And don't forget, every SRT comes with its very own portable "Ironing board".

I'll give you a hint Bill, it's mounted on your trunk.
And I understand it works quite well on "pleated" shirts.

The SRT-6 does not have that option.

Sure they do FP. Our "ironing board" just folds up like it's supposed to.

Mike,
I think you need to go take a Loooooong drive in your New AMX (Or should We Now Call it the 'Mouse-Mobile' ) & Chill Out!

& I should go Wash & detail mine, now that the Cold weather & Rain has Passed!
