I can't believe the thought crossed my mind......UPDATE! (I'm keepin it!)

maybe a 4X4 K-car??

well, here's my thinking behind the decision to keep it:  I'd want a Charger for fast back-road driving, and I'll keep the LeBaron for use as a drift/rally race car, this way I won't be totalling a piece of Mopar history if I tried to do the latter two with the Charger.

The LeBaron's capabable, and I'm wanting to do my own custom work (just suspension-wise) so that maybe in the future I can start my own tuning business when I get out of tech school (and have a monopoly on the M-body parts in the southeast).

Also, it's simple like this: the Lebaron I can afford to mess up, the Charger I wouldn't want to.

has anybody had any dealings with www.themopardude.com?

I feel stupid now, and I'm usually one of the "USE THE SEARCH FEATURE" pushers.   

I'm thinking of trying to find a '72-'79 B-body K-frame for my car.

I think Ricardo Montaban would love its soft, supple, Cornithian leather interior!

I've been driving my Mercedes for some time, and the price at the pump just made me change my mode of transpertation. I'm back to drivng my Tercel... that i payed $80 for
I was going to sell the Mercedes at one point, but decided agenst it. I can understand keeping you "Luxury" car as a back up for the Toyota, but puting money into it isn't realy worth it. I maintain the Mercedes. and i love that car, but being in college means i have very little "play" money to spend on car parts. I've been putting that money tward a Charger for a long time. about 2 years, then i bought the Charger, and now that i own it, i keep my "Charger Fund" full and I buy hard to find parts as i find them. I still don't get to drive my Charger, but that dosen't mean its still not the focus of my "play" money.

I would sugest, if you want a Charger, focus your money on getting one, and then fixing it. keep the LeBaron if it has no money value, but provides value to you as a drivable car. or sell it if it can get you closer to your goal. but if you have the same "low" cash flow i have as a college student, get your priorites straight and shoot for your goal, thats the only way to get what you want.
