I'm in! What a riot to drive. Now there will have to be a little on shore race with an Audi, Viper, and a Vette!!

Bets?

OK, so the boys have acquired some new hot rods eh? Well, not knowing who owns what, I'll take an educated guess:

Jeff is driving the Audi since he's now peddling German stuff.

Pete is driving the Vette since that's the closest thing to gold-chain Fountain on the road.

And, since Jeff said Axa can lead the cannonball express, I can only assume Axa has popped on a Viper. And, since Axa wants no one claming to be faster, he went with most bizzarro, stupid-fast thing he could find!!

How'd I do?

Did we forget that Rippem has a pretty potent contender just waiting to blow out some built up carbon?

Even I'm toying with a new road toy. I want a 300 SRT8!!!! Found a few, not new by any means but I just want a toy to play with. Drove one last weekend. Pretty impressive.

Oh...I forgot about the long lost Ripem. Challenger, right?

Bird, you are waaaaay off...

Hint: Jeff / GMC

Viper owner already owns two other Vipers!

Now all I need to do is get Cheryl to drag the boat so I can bring the toy :-)

300 SRT is one helluva USA sedan

almost done with the Challenger

exhaust
shifter
stereo
tint
bunch of small stuff

the Corollas getting tired as I am of driving it around. probably got 1 more winter in it back and forth to work.
got 2K in that car so far including repairs and purchase price- been driving it around locally for 6 years. now that's smart vehicle money!

the truck is just such a lumber wagon to drive around local on beat up streets

so I may actually drive the Challenger, though some don't believe it
there's a mileage pool at work...

I haven't actually tried to sell my boat yet. I'm thinking about it pretty seriously though. I just don't get into it like I used to. I just want a fun but practical car to play with. Oh, and I want a pontoon boat!!!!

What engine is in your Challenger, 5.7 or 6.1?

5.7

I have driven the 6.1 now gone- but I may grab a 6.4 SRT if '14 is the last year

all it took was that 500 mile trip home, really good driving and riding platform.
a great compromise for the not so 20-something enthusiast

it's the independent rear...

Gold plated with Lightning Bolts!!!

No big stereo, but a nice copper still in the trunk.
