A nice Charger pre-Christmas vacation

[Ghoste]

So I'm having this notion that I should take a few days off just for me and do something relaxing.  But it has to be a Charger themed vacation.
What to do, what to do? 

[TUFCAT]

No Charger driving!    They salted the roads around here Thursday morning. Salt dust is everywhere.

[Ghoste]

Here too.  Clearly I'm going to have to go south.

[polywideblock]

what about Australia ,can't get more south than that             http://www.ozshowcars.com/csactsummernats27.htm

                                                                                         







 

[Ghoste]

A good idea but it might be too far.  (there will be Chargers at that Summernats?)

A good idea but it might be too far.  (there will be Chgargers at that Summernats?)

Have you heard of a little place called Tasmania?

Just take a few of these pills - and go on your own trip dude.

Make sure you're sitting in the Charger when you take them. 

[Ghoste]

Maybe I'll just drive aimlessly until something turns up?

[JB400]

Look at the classifieds.  Find a Charger you like, and go check it out.  Stop at any and all obscure roadside attractions along the way.  Maybe, rent a newer model Charger just for the heck of it.  Take a different way home than the path you already took. 

[TPR]

Come to my place, I have a Charger and it's Summer here.
Only 9,475 miles between us.

[Ghoste]

Some good suggestions.  Hmmmm. 

[Ghoste]

Some random photos from my trip.

This is a pickup on the freeway through Memphis that had burned to a shell.

[Dino]

Cross the river, I need help reassembling my car.   

[Ghoste]

And then I saw a junkyard.  (don't laugh, southern junkyards are a big deal to those of us from the rustbelt)

[Ghoste]

The only thing that comes to mind here is, "When The Levee Breaks".  A favorite song for sure.

[Ghoste]

ANd of course where there is a levee, the mighty Mississippi isn't far away.

[nvrbdn]

cool. looks fun so far.

[tan top]

looks like a good adventure going on !!   

[JB400]

Are you sure that was a junkyard and not someone's front yard?

[Fred]

After all......one man's trash is another man's treasure.

[Ghoste]

No it was a legitimate business.  The sad part of those driveby photos is that they look, well just how they look.  Afterthoughts almost. 

[Ghoste]

And to show that it was Charger themed, I did spot this grille in the rear view mirror.

[TUFCAT]

Did you tell that asshole he was following you to close??

[Ghoste]

I did actually try to throw him off and brake checked him a bunch of times but he was good.  He hung on every maneuver like we were tied together.

[TUFCAT]

That Charger driver tailgating you deserves a high speed "Cooter-style" brake check...!! geez, who would do that? Especially with such a nice looking and expensive grille!

So I'm having this notion that I should take a few days off just for me and do something relaxing.  But it has to be a Charger themed vacation.
What to do, what to do? 

Go to Nashville or Knoxville TN, and see Cooter's Garage/Museum

Afterwards, go to Sevierville, TN, and Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum.   

[nvrbdn]

great suggestions.

[Ghoste]

I thought about stopping at some of those places.  I thought about stopping at Tim Wellborns place too.  I even took golf clubs just in case but never got to do any of those things.

[69_500]

If your passing through the indy area should stop at the PRI event.

[Ghoste]

Already back home.

[Ghoste]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I picked up this really cool souvenir.

[nvrbdn]

what a great find. did they have a souvenir shop on the side of the road?? i usually only see indian trinkets and antique malls. you must have gone a different direction.

[BLUE68RT4ME]

I knew there was something silly going on there!  Do tell, what's the story on that beauty!?! 

[Fred]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I picked up this really cool souvenir.

Is it for the mantle piece?

[Bob T]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I picked up this really cool souvenir.

Is it for the mantle piece?

Its going straight to the pool room 

Well done Ghoste, thats a mighty souvenir 

[JB400]

Glad to see you got you another one   Question is, did you sell your 67 or does it just have a stable mate  now?

[Ghoste]

Different barns at the moment.  The 69 is at the shop and the 67 is still here in the garage at home.  It snowed shortly after getting the car home and never had a chance to swap the two.
On the fence a little bit but I think I'll be selling the fastback.  It needs some work and I think I'll be too focused on the 69 to give it the attnetion it deserves.  I'll do likely what I should have done a long time ago and let the 67 go to someone who wants it as much as I wanted another 69.
I'll get some more photos and the rest of the story up later.
