Who will be driving their Charger on Christmas?

41husk · December 20, 2006, 11:57:06 AM

The early forecast is showing Christmas day may be in the 50s here, if that is the case, I may break out the 68 for a drive. I have never Taken her for a cruize on Christmas day, but I'm thinking that would be a pretty good gift to myself. Any body else planning a drive?

Johnny SixPack · December 20, 2006, 12:04:51 PM

I have since I got 'em!

Blown70 · December 20, 2006, 12:55:52 PM

Well no snow here in Fargo YET... But I have no running driving chargers. Maybe I could just sit in one of them and make car sounds???

Shakey · December 20, 2006, 12:59:13 PM

Not me, and not because I don't want to!

Dave22443 · December 20, 2006, 01:08:20 PM

I've been driving my '68 all week

Won't be driving it Christmas day though as I'll be on vacation in sunny Florid

41husk · December 20, 2006, 01:38:36 PM

Were you from Dave? Heck take your Charger to Florida, there should be some driving weather down there

70charginglizard · December 20, 2006, 02:13:24 PM

You should get one of those full santa suits they sell at Target and wear that while your driving around.
If anyone asks. you just tell um you traded the raindeer from 425 horses....lol

JMF · December 20, 2006, 02:44:16 PM

Here in England it's really cold but if my clutch is done in time I may take out the Charger, if not next week i'm off work all week : )

Dave22443 · December 20, 2006, 03:32:13 PM

Florida is 13 hours drive for me. The Charger is good... but it ain't that good.

G'day guys,

sorry to have to say that I have - and will be - DRIVING MY CHARGER EVERY SINGLE DAY.

In fact I'm taking itout again today. I took it for a drive yesterday to get some coffee, and up to my mothers the other day for a pie.

The sun is shining and we've got hot weather all week. Enjoy your winter.

Merry Christmas,

I guess that's where I'm lucky......winter down here just means you maybe take a jumper with you, and consider jeans.

I have never felt real snow........I imagine it must be a good thing to see.

Today.....sun, sun and more sun.

Ghoste · December 20, 2006, 07:15:43 PM

I may take mine out. It's supposed to be a green Christmas here, so...

MGBRingo · December 20, 2006, 07:16:17 PM

Hey Peter, when I was growing up a jumper was a skirt the girls wore. I hope it means something different down under?

terrible one · December 20, 2006, 07:18:53 PM

Only if I get one!

Brock Samson · December 20, 2006, 07:46:32 PM

Lost Sheep · December 20, 2006, 08:27:34 PM

You GodDamned Right I'm Gonna Drive The Charger on Christmas Day.

greatwn73 · December 20, 2006, 08:28:42 PM

No snow in northern Ontario, had it out last weekend and probably will this weekend. Glad I sold my snowmobiles to support my car habit.

Zentelis · December 20, 2006, 08:29:01 PM

Nope..won't be driving mine

She's _STILL_ in the body shop..they haven't touched it for about 2 months now..but at least it's in a heated garage.

oh well..maybe they'll be finished by next christmas

69charger2002 · December 20, 2006, 08:35:01 PM

i'll definitely get one out on christmas eve and day. no doubt about it

Manfred318 · December 20, 2006, 08:52:14 PM

I will if I can. Its supposed to be pretty cold and rainy on Monday, hopefully it will hold off for a fwe hours so I can go out for a nice Christmas day drive.

I'm pretty certain it means something different down here.......although there's a few blokes I know who probably should wear skirts

I'm getting a good Chrissy present off my wife this year too........new stripes for the Superbee. What a woman.

rich4406bbl · December 20, 2006, 10:31:06 PM

If it doesn't rain or snow here in NJ I'll have my 71RT out for a nice long drive.

TylerCharger69 · December 21, 2006, 12:31:49 AM

i probably put 1000 or 1500 miles on mine every week. I'm almost positive I'll be driving it christmas day as well..

Do you have pics?I don't think I've seen your r/t before.

68 CHARGER R/T · December 21, 2006, 02:38:23 AM

guys you only live once

.our toys will be around long time after were all gone

. so go out there on christmas day and light em up

old man · December 21, 2006, 08:09:30 AM

This christmas I hope to have a big present under the tree for the wife. Her 66 may be home this Saturday with a fresh coat of Paint. It's been in shop for three or four months and paint was going on Monday. So a few days to finish small details and we should be able to pick her up. I have my fingers crossed that Christmas morning we take it for a spin. We bought it and had it for two weeks before we took it to the shop. It will be like getting a new car again.

41husk · December 21, 2006, 09:28:04 AM

that sounds great, old man, gotta get some pics of the new paint.

6670charger · December 21, 2006, 02:53:25 PM

I'm in GA for several months. Going home for Christmas, so I won't be around to drive her. Would be, though, if I wasn't headed north.

4forty · December 21, 2006, 03:04:03 PM

I will, if the weather outside ain't frightful............

BigBlockSam · December 22, 2006, 11:59:58 AM

yes i will be driving her on Christmas . i have a lot of presents to deliver and the raindeers are tired this year .

derailed · December 25, 2006, 05:21:55 PM

It was in the high 40s today and theres still no salt on the roads here in upstate NY so i had the charger out cruising for about 2 hours. It was my Christmas present to myself and a good stress reliever.

Ghoste · December 25, 2006, 10:07:08 PM

Rained all day here, so no Charger drivee this time.

Charger-Bodie · December 25, 2006, 10:22:45 PM

I FREAKIN WISH!!!

TylerCharger69 · December 25, 2006, 11:36:06 PM

Well...I drove mine to take the kids to the Grandparents house today. Some assclown was driving next to me on the right side (I was in the express lane) on the expressway, and was taking a picture of my car WHILE he was driving with his cellphone camera. He started to vere off towards me, as he wasn't paying attention to where HE was going. My wife signaled in a not-so-friendly fashion for him to get back in his own lane, I stomped on the gas to get ahead of him real quick and gave him a not-so-friendly gesture myself. He slowed wa-a-ay down to a crawl. I hope the photo of the ass end of my car was a good one!!! Some peoples' children!!! Jeeeeeees!!! Other than that...it was a pleasant Christmas Day outing.

myk · December 26, 2006, 04:30:29 AM

I drove mine...

mikes68charger · December 26, 2006, 11:25:54 AM

I drove the snot out of mine

I just got my drive shaft for Kesler and was brakeing in the new motor and trans. It was great, the hyways in Houston TX were just about empty,

41husk · December 26, 2006, 02:06:45 PM

I got mine out on the 23rd but I was to busy Christmas eve and it rained on the 25th.

4cruzin · December 26, 2006, 03:55:59 PM

If it wasn't raining and I had a charger,

I might of drove it!

41husk · December 27, 2006, 01:50:43 PM

Cruizan, did you take an E body for a drive over Christmas?

whitehatspecial · December 27, 2006, 02:52:48 PM

It rained on Christmas but I drove my '68 today and I'm using it while my '05 F150 is in the shop for warrantee work. There was snow flurries for a while, but there's been no measurable snow in CT yet. The roads have no sand or salt yet. Unreal for this part of the world! It is really fun driving the car in the cold weather, it runs great and sounds even better. I'm not minding one bit.

MichaelRW · December 27, 2006, 02:58:53 PM

No time to drive it on Christmas but I did hide my wife's gifts in the trunk and she doesn't have a key.

defiance · December 27, 2006, 03:08:08 PM

I'll be driving mine on Christmas!!!

(Christmas, 2010

)

It's a loooong way off still... Though I might be almost done before Christmas 2008, I then spend 2009 and part of 2010 paying off the loan and saving up for the overdrive (last component, but I still consider it vital), which will be in mid-2010...

For quite a few years I used my Charger's trunk for a Christmas gift hiding spot, those trunks hold a LOT!

What can I say.....I took my 71 out yesterday with the kids in the back.......(and the day before that, and the day before that).

Great weather here at the moment......and all year round as a matter of fact.
