How dedicated to your hobby are you, outside of your hobby?

[1969chargerrtse]

What is it that you have, or have done to show your love for your hobby of Chargers or cars?  I have a 1/24 th scale model of a 69 Charger R/T on the dash of my work truck.  I plan on having a bumper sticker made that says " My other car is a 1969 Charger R/T"  Please show me a picture of your shop, home ,work vehicle, or desk, that express your love for your car.     Bumper stickers are easy to make, I made one for my wife years ago that proudly sticks to the rear of her mini van (she hates it).

My room is FULL (and I mean full) of car stuff. Does that count?

I am in my garage almost everyday. If not I am doing something car related...shows, swapmeets, auctions etc. My basement is a joke. Use to be a family room and now is a parts storage area  my front garage barely gets our drivers in everynight because it is so full of car stuff. I was working on my dads car at 15. I had like 10 cars between 15 and 18. We went to races every weekend and sometimes 2-3 times. I use to run my own auto salvage in my old neighborhood  I have 10 vehicles as of now. Where I work I always buy cars from teachers and students. Mostly newer stuff though. I did get a 65 Lemanns from a student. I also bought my 70 Cutlass from the school auto shop. Dedicated?....kinda...I guess you can call it that.

Well I finally got around to hanging up some of the signs and plaques that I have for cars in the garage this year. Only to discover that there isn't nearly enough wall space to hang them all. Finally broke down and coated the garage floor with the epoxy sealer this year to make it cleaner looking and painted the walls what else HEMI Orange.

The front room of our house holds 4 1/18th diecast models of 500's and Daytona's. The computer desk has the Danburry Mint 500 on the top, along with a 1/24th diecast of a Talladega, a Superbird, and a Daytona. Along with a beer stein with Bobby Isaac's Daytona on it. Come to think of it, I don't know if there are more than 2 rooms in the house without something car related in them. Every bathroom has a magazine rack with some MOpar literature in it. The couch has a buit in magazine rack with Winged Warrior and DSAC newsletters in it.

My 4 year old son's bedroom is painted HEMI orange, with 16"x30" posters of a HEMI Daytona, HEMI Superbird, 1971 HEMI Cuda, 1970 HEMI GTX, and then a HEMI poster mounted on the wall. Also has shadow boxes holding diecast Charger 500's and Daytona's. He picked all the posters himself (printed photo's that I had taken over the years and had them framed for him), and all of the diecast he picked out of dad's over flowing collection. The closet in my bedroom has a wire rack that all the clothes hang down off of. From the rack to the ceiling all of the way around the 8'x13' walk in closet is diecast and model charger 500's, Daytona's, and Superbirds. I'm pretty sure that everyone I know is well aware of my love for these cars.

Heck I wanted so badly to name my son Daytona, but settled for Dakota. Better to go with Dakota with the wifes blessing than have a mad wife and a son named Daytona right?

Friend of mine named his daughter Shelby.  He's kinda a Ford lover.

My locker at work is covered in a collage of Charger photos that I've cut out of magazines.  In spite of having company supplied work clothes available, I'm generally wearing a t-shirt that has a Charger or Mopar event on it.  Pretty much always have a couple of Mopar magazines laying around my work area as well.  They all know I'm the Charger geek.

[69_500]

Your a charger geek? Huh, all this time I thought you were some crazy Ghost hunter or something. 

[Ghoste]

Sometimes seems like it's the same thing.

[dukeboy_318]

Sweet, what's on the Charger?  Or is N.Y like CT where you can have the same plate name on different plates of the same state?

That's funny - my wife said I could pick our first child's name - so it was going to be "Daytona" if it was a girl, but since we had a boy, I thought just "Dayton" was a little better... 

I also have been a subscriber to all the Mopar mags for a few years now as well as collect as many Charger-related books/collectables/toys that I can find...

I have the original old blue & yellow plates on the Charger now.   I got the personalized one in the event NYS takes away the ability to register the car with the classic plates

[hemihead]

I have an 80's " Dodge Boys " jacket I wear among tons of other stuff

Here's some pics when I was setting up my new garage in Dec. of 2006.

[LeeBoy]

Some more. I posted the pics of the Pit Change Charger on here a long time ago.

[bull]

Whoa, empty shelves. I don't see that very often.

I would have a lot more collectible stuff if my car were finished. I have plans to redo my garage with a subtle Mopar motif once the car is done but right now all my spare cash is going into the restoration. And I just don't have the time or space to mess with it. I do have a garage "night light" I got from a Dodge dealer way back when. Does this count?

[LeeBoy]

Whoa, empty shelves. I don't see that very often.

The empty shelves were before I put all the diecast Mopars on them. Oh and the beer can collection too.

[The70RT]

Here'a my back garage before I put everything in it when I built it 5 years ago. And here is my 57 I sold to fund my Chargers resto.

[The70RT]

Here's the drivetrain I rebuilt

Wow, beautiful car and work.  I sold my vette for my Charger. Poor Gm cars getting sold to fund Mopars, just ain't right  , and it needs to stop  .
