    Rented a "new" Challenger RT last week...

    Hey All: I say "new" because of course, they're 4 years old now, and the one I got had clearly been put through the ringer. I was on vacation last week. The rental place just happened to have a Challenger RT available. I have to say that a lot of my initial reservations were overcome...

    Man, F@#K my car...

    So, today was my little girl's "graduation" ceremony. Silly to have a graduation from daycare type stuff to real school type stuff, but whatever, go and show support, demonstrate that school is a priority and all that. Dad love = no JohhnyCamaroMullet/LatrellePantsAroundtheAnkles showing up...

    What are your favorite/most interesting sayings, aphorisms, metaphors, similes,etc.

    Hey: Anyone have any unusual phrases they thought were clever or interesting. I have certainly heard a few in the time I've been on here. Maybe they're new, maybe just new to me.... "Quiet as a mouse peeing on cotton" was the latest that I hadn't heard before... "Tighter than a...

    70s paint schemes thread/pics

    Just got back from the Nats. Are new Challengers really this slow?

    Hey All Lots of new Challengers running down the racetrack at the Nats this year. I can't count the number of R/Ts I saw running mid-high 14s. Is that really all the better they run? If so, that's horrible. My 08 Taurus has been 14.36 on a 2.29 60'!!

    Anyone know anything about Mexican Dart/Duster?

    Hey All: There's a car near me. It's supposedly a '75 Duster from Mexico, but it has the front end off of a Dart Sport.....Valiant tag on the nose. Seems like a real nice car, has an odd sticker package on it "225 Wedge" and some weird side stripes. Don't know the Spanish word for Wedge...

    So do you cut it up and racecar it, or sell it and get something else..

    Hey All: Got a tough decision to make... So, here we go. I have the speed bug and want to go faster. Next year, I'd like to build a 408 and in the meantime I'd like to see how quick this 5.9 Magnum would go with a couple more mods in a racier chassis. Car currently runs 11.70s @ 113 in...

    Help me find a recent magazine article about a stock eliminator car

    Hey All: Recently (within the past couple of months) one of the mags, might have been a Mopar mag, or might have been Car Craft or something had an article about a Mopar 340 Stock eliminator car. Maybe it was a Demon, but I don't know. I didn't get a chance to buy the issue and I really wanted...

    Is it really so hard to do it right?

    Check this out: Fitting on the left came with my dual feed fuel inlet setup (trying to make my car track legal by getting rid of rubber lines.) Of course, as you can see by the correctly made fitting on the right, they didn't finish threading it all the way, so of course it won't go far...

    Why is this car so expensive?

    Hey All: A sort of local classic shop has this car. They've had it for a while, but I think the price is continually going UP. I'm not really up on Mopar exotica. Is this something special? http://www.classic-auto.com/viewCars.aspx?car_number=217 Steve
