As a proud owner of a new Crossfire Coupe I wanted to check in and say "hi" to the group!

This forum provided me with invaluable information throughout my search and investigation. Thank you for providing a great community- even to those that are lurking. I was able to find a pristine 2007 model with less than 29K miles on the clock. It was seeping oil slightly from the breather and I was able to leverage that for an additional $1000 from an ignorant dealer. Interestingly, it was owned by Chrysler the first three years of its life in Detroit (executive loaner?). It is the fastest color they made, but I haven't been here long enough to say specifically what that is

The Crossfire is a special car with stunning great looks and exactly the kind of ride I was looking for: Grand Touring Missile. I have a BMW Z4 3.0 as well and I find real joy in the strengths of each. Different but true equals.

Thanks again.

Rockster

PS- Where is the cup holder?!

 

Let me be the first to say WECOME!*

Congrats on your new BLACK crossfire you will love it. Where do you live?

 

Thanks! I just updated my profile. I live in Columbia, Missouri which is between KC and STL.

Great guess on the car color. That is exactly what it looks like...when my garage light is off.

 

Welcome to the group Rockster. A fun car and a great buncha folks here. I like your choice of color too!

 

Thanks Mike, I'm going to break myself in right by redoing the breather covers over the weekend . (I'm not very mechanical)

welcome

 

I didn't guess what color it is. Everybody knows it is BLACK. Coupe or roadster.

 

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forums! Don't believe joejet we he says that black is the fastest. I prefer red and graphite myself.

 

Welcome. Columbia MO is not tofar west of St Louis to hold it against you. With that qualification, let me be the first from the Gateway Group to invite you into our semi exclusive looney bin group.

We were just at New Florence MO, some 20 minutes east of you, last weekend Zip lining and enjoying some of Double J's BBQ. at the top on Minneola Hill. (Highway 19 & I-70).

I believe there is another get together on September 10th.

You also are welcome to join us September 30-31-Oct1 in North carolina, Fontana village. Out annual pilgrimage to the notorious 129 Tail Dragon. Here Crossie fools from all over the nation join to chaseeachother up and down the Tennesee and Carolina hills for no real purpose other than good friends, good food, good times and good memories.

Cathy and I are caravaning with Itsky out of Denver CO on Thursday. You would need to make reservations at the lodge.

Now as to the cup holder. That is just a viscious rumor. There is no cup holder in the Crossfire. There is an annoying elbow irritation agitation unit that some have surmised might hold a cup of drink or coffee.

They are misguided.

This is a sports car. Why would you need, much less have engineered, a cup holder in a sports car?

He said it was the fastest color!!!!!!!!!! Everybody, and I mean eveybody KNOWS red is the fastest color.

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Congrats on the Crossfire and welcome to the family. Hope to meet you at the Dragon.

 

Franc,

Excellent to be onboard and I actually drove right past the zip line place heading down from I-70 to Hermann last weekend in my Z4 right before getting the Crossfire. I'd love to be part of the Gateway group as I'm from St. Peters which is there in the area.

I'll have to check my schedule and the timetable on a Dragon run but it sounds like great fun. I'll start researching.

In regard to the cup holder, I was being sarcastic :-). So many new members ask about that without searching that I thought I would be funny and ask. Too kind for appeasing me with an answer.

My Crossfire color is Red!....when observing as it passes by at the speed of light. OK- it is the silver/blue color.

i dont know about the roadster, but on my xfire the cup holder is where the armrest is....just push down, and it will pop up..

 

NO NO NO that is not a cup holder. That is a cup piercing tool. It allows one to drink coffee and soda from the bottom of the cup.

Place a styrofoam cup in the holder and allow it to close. Then remove the cup of liquid and wala, a steady stream of fluid, all over your lap.

Have towels at the ready. And do not try this at home. Or around friends. They will never let you live it down. 'Kay?

Old people know this **** because they do this ****...Kay?

SSB is the fastest color by far. Don't let anybody kid you about that.

St Peters MO? where? That's where I reside.

Love to have you join our caravan to the Dragon if you can make it. It's WELL worth the trip. This will be my 5th visit and worth the 3000 mile (in my case) round trip.
