I want spring to get here in the worst way got all this stuff i want do to the charger including a new exhaust system, new Valve covers, air cleaner and now looks like we got 2-3 FEET of snow coming my way starting tomorrow into Weds. Looks like  spring is looking farther and farther away. :rotz:

We haven't had any snow in the south east this year thank goodness!!! Where do you live?? I have seen on the news where the north east is getting hit hard with snow!! I have plans for some subframe connectors and maybe some seat covers if I can afford to do them.  :yesnod:

Hang in there guys.  When the sweet warmth of spring and summer come around and your cars get to wake up, you experience and appreciate nice weather and driving your Charger in a way that those of us in nicer climates take for granted...

Up until a few weeks ago I was under coating and painting the underneath of the car, luckily got most of what i needed to do done before it got really cold although the car is in my garage its not heated so it looks like im at a stand still for a while. I just bought the 2 1/2 exhaust pipes for it to go with the glasspacks and stainless tips i got a couple months back so im going to be really itching to put them on to see what they sound like. :punkrocka: :punkrocka:

I'm ready too! Been debating moving south for years. I'd hoped global warming would keep that from happening. Lol

I too cannot wait for spring!   :yesnod:

This past Friday it was -3C here in the Toronto area.  The sun was shining, the roads were dry so I left the office early and went home to go for a cruise.  Run a few errands, pick the girls up from school and then off to the beer store.  I was only our for an hour or so but was glad to have the opportunity.

Patience fellas!   :pity:

I'm itching to bring the Charger back to my garage before spring so I can change the cam and do some other projects.  This time I'd like to get it on the road before August...

Yes and yes!

We've had some snow here this winter and there has been salt but the roads were dry and the salt dust was minimal.

Car was as clean and dry when I got home as it was when I left.

we got hit with about 12" of snow, but this past weekend was nice. It got to be about 40 degrees outside, melted all the snow off the roads and driveways.

I managed to shovel my roof off, so thats clear now


Saturday about 1pm i sat outside in a lawn chair in just a hoodie, and stared at my truck and charger (both have been in the barn under covers)


I got them out and let them run for a bit!....Spring is trying to come to michigan!! I can feel it
