World's best undiscovered automotive marketing tool

RubyCamaro · 10-05-2011, 11:01 AM

OMG & LOL! This morning I made quite the discovery. Okay, I think I can explain this without getting explicit enough to get this thread pulled & myself sanctioned. So for the third day this morning I drove the Crossfire to work. It is now my daily driver so I don't keep putting over 500 mi per week on Ruby. So I had noticed that I was getting a different sort of permagrin when I drove the Crossfire and this morning I figured out why. Apparently there is a barely perceptable vibration in the drivers seat in the Crossfire.

I am NOT complaining. Not a bad way to start the day. It did get me to thinking though. If automottive companies could covertly build this little feature into their cars & then leak the information onto the social media the auto industry would be revived & probably our whole economy!
Mike had said we would keep the Crossfire for about a year & then sell it. Now I'm thinking it might just be a keeper!

Here is the only pic I have access to from work.

i almost bought a crossfire about 5 years ago just couldnt pull the trigger since i thought that tires are way too exspensive and afraid of dodge quality.

The Crossfire is actually a Mercedes Benz underneath.
