And a clip of it being flogged like a mofo (http://automotivemachine.net/300cdrifting.avi)

Very tempted to buy...reasonably priced at 32,995...not AS nice as a lexus LS430(59G) or infiniti Q45 (48G) BMW 540sport(60G) but it outperforms all of them and has a similar "look" of quality.

The Hemi has finally been put to good use.

well...I wish the problem was too much money burning a hole in my pants. I don't know...I want to simplify right now and am thinking about either going with the classic and a daily beater or getting the 300C and keeping the weekend beater.

Right now, I am leaning to this...but will probably end up just keeping the daily and weekend beater and doing something sensible like *sigh* investing :(

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks so:D
The Crossfire doesn't do much for me either, besides the fact there isn't enough head room. I sat in it the day before we made it a foot or so shorter, and my head was smashed against the roof and I am only 6ft tall.

My thought exactly:

Good god, who'd want to be seen in that thing? I'd want to get 2% tint just so people wouldn't know it was me in there. :(
