Let the truth be told.....my new ride!! '08 Daytona

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Been waiting since '05 for them to come out with the Hemi Orange Daytona's.....this year the new Daytona color (and reported only color) for the '08's is Hemi Orange.  Took a test drive at a Dodge dealer show last weekend & I was hooked.

I went to the Mopars @ Englishtown show yesterday with the '69.  Left early to go to the dealer to pick up my new '08.  Only to find out I won peoples choice in my class with the '69 

Todays forecast wasnt looking so hot sooooo since I had the new one and this will be my daily driver I figured why not...picked up my bud Ronnie (RJS) and cruised to the show.  I put the car in the show as well....class 54 New style Charger Stock & Modified.  Look at the pic...notice the ORIGINAL window sticker I sported at the show?

Turns out I was the only one in my class...I won first place!    I only had the car for half a day and already she's a show winner!! 



Now go easy on me all you new Charger haters....

[TruckDriver]

Congrats on the peoples choice awards


I'm sorry about the Daytona

Where's the picture of the two Chargers together? 

[runningman]

I like it too

[69*F5*SE]

Very nice car indeed.   

[Hemidog]

A very nice car!
Heck, weren't they so damn expensive over here, I would buy one too! 

[Chris G.]

Haters can say what they want, but that car is bad azz. You got compliments up that wa-zoo. Sure the trophy thing was a little overboard (and the fact that you actually posted pics of them  ), but it's a sweet car. You are making me want to follow your footsteps. I love the new color.

ps- The license plate finally fits the car. I love it.

Congrats on the people's choice award for the 69 Chris. However not sure on the winning something for being the only car in the class for the Daytona though, JK. If it wasn't for getting something for being the only one in the class I wouldn't have ever taken home an award. Got 1st place in the under 25 group 5 years ago with my 500, incidentally was the only one to show up that was under 25 years old.

Classic 

Congrats Chris on adding two more trophies to the pile 

[1969chargerrtse]

  Wow, I think that is fantastic.  Can you really use it as a driver?  Me, I'm unfixable in that logic.  It would be a classic to me new or not and I would go anal on it.  Awesome color, couldn't go to a better guy.  Enjoy.  Hey is it faster than the 6t9?

Congrats!

WAY COOL !!!!  Now you need some "book ends" pics.  I went to a local show today with my Daytona...and it was well received, and a ot of my old school mopar buddies were all over it. BTW ,as we were walking by the T shirt vendor ...I spied your "69  at the boat launch" pirated picture on a t shirt. I told a few guys the story ! Again CONGRATS on the awards and the purchase!!!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Thanks for all the kind words guys!    I definitely have to get a photo shoot with both of them soon....will make a great pic!

As far as it being faster than the "old" one....I'd say not but it is a "cleaner" fast over the 69's "dirty" fast.....this car is a pleasure to drive even over the crappy NYC streets....no harshness from the 20's at all....I haven't stopped smiling yet....maybe I will when I do the first fill-up?

NAH!!!

It was more a goof than anything Danny.....heck I had to get my $25 entry fee's worth! 

That being said, to all that went & saw all the LX cars there, I guess none of them were in the peoples choice running maybe because they were in the LX Forums club (which sponsored the show)

At least change your Avatar back to what it was..!!           

[pettyfan43]

I have a 66 and a 73, NOW I want a second gen and an 06 in Go Mango orange! Maybe if that lottery ticket pays off............... 

[69 OUR/TEA]

Congrats on everything Chris ,awards and the car.Looks real nice !!! Great choice in colors for your cars!!!Nice talkin to you yesterday,see you again at Carlisle.

[69_500]

Ah just poking a little fun at ya.

I'm still trying to talk my wife into a new Charger, but I like the new bright blue on them. She however is more fond of the new challenger, so it might be the next new car we get instead of a new charger.

[G-man]

Hey

Congrats on the win, but seriously, new charger? The only new re-make they made that looks any good is the new challenger (though I wouldnt get that either), 4 door charger? 

The charger is as bad as the new mustang as far as resemblence goes of the original. 


Hope i wasnt too rough on you, u did say take it easy 

[RJS]

Rode shotgun today and was very impressed with the new ride!!!!  Don't believe all the rumors Chris didn't cry on the way home even though it was raining!!

[jrdart512]

Congrats on the New ride Chris, Looks nice.
It's great you won a trophy with both cars, Now can both cars can be considered trophy whores?
