Ok, I can add the 2009 Dodge Charger I just picked up today.
Orange.
Nice sharp looking rig, can't wait for the snow to melt so I can drive it.
To bad I woke from the dream......
Sweet looking car.
I hear ya. Those new Challengers rock! I was never a fan of the new "Charger". That thing is NO CHARGER!!
I owned a couple of mopars back in the day. A 1970 340 Plymouth Cuda ( looked just like the Challenger ) with a 4 speed Hurst Ramrod shifter, killer headwork, 3/4 racing cam, glasspacks, tunnel ram with a double pumper, going through a 3.91 geared 8 3/4 rear end. Needless to say, it hauled major ass!! Never took it to the track, but would guess it to be a low 12 second car.
Also owned a 1970 Charger with a 383, and a 727 Torqueflite tranny. Nothing too fast, this was my show car, extremely straight body, top to bottom. The thing had STYLE, unlike that POS they call a Charger these days. Like a fool, I sold both of them.
As for my daily driver, I drive a 2005 Ford Explorer with a 4.6 liter V8. Nothing fancy, just very convenient. It allows me to tow my gear around for work, plenty of room for the family and the dogs, too.
45,000 miles, NEVER been in the shop. I do ALL the work myself. Planning on running it into the ground. My brother and sister each own Ford's with over 240,000 miles on them, with ALL original parts! That's saying something up here with the weather we get in Wisconsin.
