I thought I would start a thread on what you drive when you DON'T driver your charger. So ill start with mine I have an 02 jeep wrangler that i dive on an everyday basis its a little different i happen to be a Jr fan as well.

Here's a picture:




1969 Charger  Orange /black top  (1989) 360 engine stock with added xtreme comp cam and a 4 bbl  , 904 trans/shift kit , 8-1/4 rear.. with general lee accents.

97 Camaro Z28 convertible for rainy days



'99 Ram Air Firebird when I'm feeling anti-social


or a 98 Mustang GT when I want something slow, feminine and quiet to drive.  


Between the four cars I have SOMEWHAT reliable transportation...

ws23rt

This is mine. Has been a great truck. I bought it new in 98 and has near 60K miles.--  It's molting it's clear coat.

69bronzeT5

In the entire time owning my Charger (17 years), I've never driven it since it's still a project car :lol: However, I do have other cars I drive daily.....




When it's nice.....so to car club meets, car shows etc.....



The rest of the time.....



I also just bought a 2000 Neon with low mileage for $500 to use this winter so both my SRTs will be parked for the winter.

This has become my daily driver lately because it calls me to drive it.
I've had many fun to own and drive cars over many years but this one gives me what I was always looking for.  It's my easy to drive in traffic car. It's a luxury car. It's a muscle car. It looks good. And it's a Dodge. :2thumbs:

I track and autoX an E36 M3. I LOVE this car but I'm to the point where the car is holding me back at track days. Sometimes I regret buying the heavier, softer sprung Vert over the coupe, but I love it nonetheless.

It's torn down now getting a refresh, but I hope to be back on track soon. I'm torn between keeping this car and modifying it to make it firmer on track, or just selling it outright and buying a prepped hardtop model.

Either way, I love this chassis. I've ran it at Road Atlanta, Talladega Gran Prix, Roebling Road, Atlanta Motorsports park, and a ton of auto X and its never let me down. Ive been 135 at RR and it didn't miss a beat.

I am spoiled though, the only other cars I've enjoyed on track since was a stock Miata and a 911. And it maybe a while before I can step up to the 911 chassis, so I've got this in the meantime.

My take is, the M for the track, and the Charger for the street.

2004 Ram 1500, bought new Dec 26th 2003. Only the second new vehicle I've ever owned. Hasn't been that great reliability wise and Chrysler support has been horrible, but I like the truck and enjoy driving it.

1989 D150, Has 250K miles on it, barely uses any oil or drips any. Literally, never had a valve cover off of it. I've replaced the a/c compressor a few times, starter once and dumped the cat. Has an easy 100K worth of open trailer towing on it.

Mostly the company van during the week (06 Ford E250) On the weekend's I drive one of the two old jeep grand cherokee's I have. I got one 93 grand with the 5.2 and I have a 98 grand with the 4.0. Both have some miles on them but are pretty dependable for their age. I picked up another jeep grand cherokee with a bad engine but haven't got it up and driving yet.

 A near mint 142,000 mile 2002 Mercedes CLK200 Kompressor ....a blown 1.8 which I believe you don't get in the states..and it's the rare 6 speed manual version. A 1999 Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor auto with only 83,000 on the clock. A WJ shape 2004 Grand Cherokee 2.7CRD diesel...again one you don't get. And, until recently a 2002 Suzuki GSXR1000K2.....until a lady pulled out in front in a Volvo and totalled it which resulted in a seven hour emergency operation to save my left arm and left me with four titanium plates and sixty screws along with slight weakness in that arm. All good fun though!

My 1969 Dodge Charger that I bought after the wrecked white one has been sitting the past 4 years slooooooowly getting work done to it. Waiting on the floors to be done so I can drive it once again, can't say I haven't been patient with my friend about it (not like he isn't getting paid for it).

ANYWAY.

It's been a while since I posted, and I'm sure I made a post about it, but I forget, so I'm gonna repeat-I bought a 1973 Dodge Charger out of Georgia on a whim. Was looking on Autotempest just for fun, and the price was low...and I got it for even lower, my first Charger was a '73 and I always thought maybe of getting another one someday, and here we are. It's been my ratty fun driver, grocery getter, don't worry about it, and I've used it in photo shoots as well, I think it's photogenic. It's had the vector wheels from the '69 for a while. The black front driver's side fender is a franken-fender made from different fenders after a deer decided to kamikaze itself slamming into it early last year. Yeah I'm a magnet for crap happening to me in my cars, what can I say! I had no idea what a hassle it was going to be to look for another fender. I plan to paint all of it flat black, get a fiberglass bulge hood, and if anyone has 71-72 hidden headlights with the motor, holler at me.

Technically speaking, the 2015 Challenger R/T Plus Shaker (Super Track Pack) is my wife's car and our main daily driver.  I picked up the '72 F250 for $325.00 last year and have a total of about $2500 in it, been driving it for 15 months with no major issues, and that blue paint...it's rattle can!  I had a 2002 Honda XR650L dual sport motorcycle until April of this year when I picked up a brand new 2016 version of the same bike.

Thanks, yeah I've tried painting with a regular sprayer and I make a mess, runs and blotches etc etc.  I'm much better with a rattle can.  I went to the local paint shop and had them mix up some actual Ford "Wind Blue" (aka light blue) from the '72 model year and put it into rattle cans.  Worked really well.
