Okay, sorry bout that, I'll just post em below.

First, some pics from the radio show boys dressed as Daisy Duke




Heres the 8yr old Radio contest winner who won a ride to dinner in the General Lee (He was a little excited to say the least, and a huge Dukes fan)


Out front of the theatre with the cruisers.

Did you get anything for letting them use your car?

Like free movie tickets or something?

I'm sure your car sitting in from of the theater boosted their sales.

[PlumBad70]

Sweet pics..The car looked great!!!!!

Did you give the kid a little smoke show on the way to his dinner?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Great pics Ryan!

Thanks all on the comments, it was a GREAT nite of fun, especially with the police (who I know the 2 helping).

I received 10 tickets for the movie to give to family and those who helped me with some things to get the thing off the ground and also the memorabilia the movie distributor sent the theatre to hang up (Posters, HUGE poster and a vynal banner)

We did a miniature "chase" from one end of town to the next during green lights (about 5 miles) for fun and attention (lights/siren blaring) and the kid who won the contest, well, since I had a cop car in front and behind escorting me to drop the winner off at dinner, I came into the parking lot sideways for all eating on the patio to see (cheers galore).

All the folks and the kid loved that including the cops, it was actually their idea since I couldn't legally get away with it any other time, so I took the opportunity.

As you can see in the pics, the car was roped off in an arms Length so nobody could touch it and they had a theatre employee dressed as Daisy (sort of) guarding the car all night and she loved the car, so she was good not to let any harm come to it.
The dudes dressed as Daisy were the local radio personalities who bet each other on the air the year of the General and each got it wrong and lost the bet so each had to dress as Daisy.

It seems now, the car and myself are more so a local celebrity more than before because those who didn't know what the car was or why it is popular, saw the movie and identify with it and saw what a Dodge Charger is capable of in terms of pure brash power and intimidation in comparison to the zing zing mobiles of today. The cops love the car, never a hassle only to look at it and ask questions like every other curious individual which is cool, but when they pull me over just to look at it, I wish they'd turn their lights off, I feel like a delinquent to onlookers to arrive at the scene too late and don't know whats really happening.

In summary, was a beautiful nite for it, a great turnout and a ton of fun, I thank all who helped me out and those that showed to make it a success and I look forward to a sequel event if possable.

BTW-guys, there was a ton of "scenery" to glance/gawk at, since a few felt like wearing the similar tight denim shorts, while others wore tight summer figure flattering outfits, I love my sunglasses as it hides my eyes!!

I bet that was a great time.  I bet the car chase was a great time too, wish i'd have seen that !

[General_01]

That looks like it was alot of fun. Glad all went well with your experience. The car still looks great.

[General Ryan]

I remember how I was as a kid and when I saw in person, a real live 2nd gen Charger, my heart going, the adrenaline flowing and excitement galore to be in the presence of the car I fell in love with on TV every week. So I say, anytime a kid or person acts and is as excited as I was, and can show the courtesy and patience with them to enjoy the moment, it'll etch into their brain and remember it for all time, and I'm glad I can do that.
Its sort of my pay backs and thank yous to all the Charger owners who showed the same with me.

Although, the kid kept asking where and how much he can get a General Lee for himself for when he turns 16 or instead a 69 Charger. He can't really grasp the concept of rarity and how much in price or how hard to find anymore, so I gave his mom the website/forum for the Confederate General Lee Fan Club to poke around and soak in the reality and ask questions to help him out.

All in all, like I said, that day was total Nirvana

[Lostsheep]

Man those are great pics, looks like a great time. I bet that kid hasn't stopped talking about it.

Im not sure if I asked you before or not, but what size are your wheels.

[DarkAngel0816]

I have an eight year old brother myself and I tell you...he loves my Charger.    So it is cool that you did all of that esp for the youngster.  Car looks hot!

15X8 front
15X9.5 rear
255/60/15 BFG radial T/A front
275/60/15 BFG Radial T/A rear

[Lostsheep]

Did you have a 8.5 widened?

[KMPX2]

Well it came in number 3 & made 13 m

[General Ryan]

No, I stumbled across the 9.5 years ago, I thought they were 8.5 but it fits a 275 tire and I'm pretty sure its a 9.5, I'll dbl check it though, but I never modified them

[Lostsheep]

They just look a little deeper dished is all, kinna like the 10's.

Cool Pics Ryan....looks like a lot of fun. Nice job on the contest, sure made that kids day !

Thanks for the info on what you got for your time and use of your car.
Its fun getting to play with the police. I have a PT that I use for fundraisers and helping the Police during Christmas time give out gifts to those less fortunate.
Of course all of the lights and horns I have installed are illegal except when I'm cruising with the Police and distributing presents with Santa.
I'm hoping that in the next year or so I will be hauling Santa around in my BIG RED Charger Sleigh all lit up.

thanks for the shots. Some real nice images there for sure. The first bunch of hotties cause more breakfasts to be lost than turbulance in a Dash 8.
