  1. I guess we all have a different view, but I love driving my '71 Challenger. I drove it cross country once and it was a blast. Yeah, not as comfy as my '09 but still fun. I don't think they are as bad as people make them out to be.
  2. Love those oldies Oldhurstolds. Great photos. Down the street from me there is a '68 442 convertible in blue metallic. They sure don't make them like that anymore. I still prefer vintage over new.
  3. No in all honesty I wouldn't want to road trip the Demon unless my options were limited, Not even sure about the Hellcat. I don't need that kind of power. but the truth is, it would be easier doing a road trip in a Demon or Hellcat than trying to plan a route that would guarantee charging station's to replenish a Tesla's battery. I think the Tesla is a fine auto but I don't have the resources to spend that kind of money for basically, a wet dream, and I doubt I would spend time at the track with one. As far as Tesla's charging station's, You are still limited. How many are there and are they located in high population areas of the country or are they in rural areas too? I like to wonder and...Well...That's just the way it is. Different strokes as they say. I like to get off the beaten path and travel down new areas I have never seen before.
  4. I guess it all depends on your definition of rediculous. My view of rediculous is spending 130,000+dollars on something that to be honest has a limited use. You can't honestly tell me you would take one on a road trip. What happens if you can't find a place to recharge the battery? That leaves an expensive work commuter, but your ego will get a boost when all the eggheads at the office ohhh and ahhh your high dollar tinker toy. Or, you can go to the track every weekend and show off your ludicris mode, but make sure you use care not to overheat the car or it will shut down or... The Tesla is a great car for people with huge egos and small...
  5. I wonder how much top of the line Corolla's are selling for? I don't really think about it as Toyota isn't my top go to brand when new car shopping, but I have notice a surge in new car prices. A 29k Cruze may not be such a bad deal.
  6. Yawn. It's funny how every five year old car owner races against the Challenger and wins. Seems like the Challenger is the car to beat. Must be a pathetic existence to have to lie all the time to build up your 100,000 dollar Milton Bradley play toy. I joined this thing to enjoy back in forth with people who enjoy Mopar's, Ford's, and GM's. Companies that have a rich history, something worth bragging about. You will never understand. Too bad for you.
  7. GM dealers are getting a Hennessey Motorsport's prepped Camaro called 'The Exorcist' at a $55,000 premium over the stock ZL1, and Roush is offering a P51 Mustang tuner. Didn't get all the details but a Google search turns up all of them quickly. I will take the Challenger all the way, but in reality, A Shaker edition Challenger would be just fine. LOL, someone is butthurt, and a dreamer as well. I'll race you cross country with my 370 hp R/T and I bet I kick your arse. I will laugh my ass off when your stuck in the middle of no where with no place to charge the electric turd. You could saved yourself a ton of money and bought a Leaf.
  8. Mopar all the way! This Challenger is insane and to the Tesla fans here, Tesla sucks. Buy a Rascal. It's cheaper, won't catch fire and burn to the ground, and easier to push home when the battery runs dead.
  9. If you could make that happen, well I would even settle for a Coor's. It would be worth it just to watch them go at it in person.
  10. Downloaded some vintage Pink Floyd onto my iPod. Childhood's End, Burning Bridges, and When You're In, from the album Obscured by Clouds. Great stuff from one of the best band's ever. In my opinion.
  11. I read somewhere that the Chrysler wagon was one of Lennons favorite cars. At one of the now defunct record stores in the town where I live, there was a poster with George Harrison sitting in a 1964 Plymouth Fury. I always wondered if it was his car.
  12. Very nice Impala. Back in the day when I was a young-un, one of the neighbor's sold a '64 Impala SS hardtop and replaced it with a '66 Impala SS convertible. White with red bucket seat interior and 396 under the hood. Pretty cars. I love the cars from my youth.
  13. Damn, a little abrasive towards wings.
  14. Mr. Wings. Yes, Mr. wings as I show respect to one of the greats. Glad to see you are still around.
  15. I own a 5.7 Challenger R/T. I love it, but could a V6 Chally replace it? Sure. Why not? It's is a rare event when I get a chance to stretch the Hemi's legs. It's my go to car for road trips, and on rare occasions I drive it down some winding, twisting mountain roads near where I live, but that is usually a waste of time because of the number of families out for a weekend cruise on the same mountain roads that muck-up any opportunity for me to unwind the Challenger, and that is the problem. There really isn't any safe legal way to reach the potential of these cars unless one spends his weekends at the track, drives dangerously, or temps fate with the local law enforcement and most people have little time for that, so most of these cars are really nothing more than daily driver's, and who really cares if it is a V8 or V6?
  16. LOL. This dribble has more holes in it than the author's head. Sorry but I owned a 1984 Daytona Turbo, '86 Turbo Z, '87 Shelby Z. My brother owned a 1984 Daytona Turbo, '85 Turbo, and now has my Shelby Z. My mom owned a Turbo Lazer. My brother and I never lost a race to Z28 Camaro, Trans Am, or 5.0 Mustang and we had far less problems with our cars than any of the competition. Want a list of all my friends who had to replace engines under warranty on their GM and Ford products in the eighties. By the way, I replaced the timing belt on my Shelby Z at 96,000 miles. It far outlasted the 5.0's in several of my friends Fox Mustangs or several Z28's that suddenly lost a cylinder. How about writing an article on the biggest 1980's POS ever...The Pontiac Fiero, or Fire-ero.
  17. Love it. Wish I could see my way to buying one, but sometimes life has other ideas. I can live with a V6, and the Challenger is oh so beautiful.
  18. Howdy. Just found Cheers and Gears and decided to give it a try.
