Those Crossfires are beautiful. Yeah, the traction control was actually already disabled on mine! It was a sweet ride. It cornered in the hills much better than I actually thought. I was ready for the acceleration, which was impressive but I thought there would be a little more. I was very impressed with the braking and handling - the Shelby prep really tightens it up.

And there is a nice place to do donuts at the very top of Mt. Baldy, which, uh, somebody told me about. The girlfriend was not amused.

Ontario, California airport is one of the places you can rent it with unlimited miles, so we got the cheapest "Ding!" Southwest fare, flew down on the earliest flight, drove around, went to LA, came back, and then left on the very latest flight. Because you actually have to have a flight # to rent it from the airport.
