One step above me, I still have yet to even touch or see one in person.

I was sorta holding out for my first "real" ride in a winged car to be in my own as its driver.  However, Danny and I made a trip up to Michigan last fall where we visited the original owner of a Daytona.  Since the weather was pretty nice that day, he drove Danny and I to lunch that day in his Daytona -- couldn't refuse that offer of course. 

After having struck a deal to buy my wingcar in 2002, I had owned a Daytona for five years before ever having ridden in one.  Cudaken had offered to push me around the shop in mine, but I didn't count that as a real ride...

  Believe me   driving down the road in a wing car is like nothing any other car can do. I have had lots of Mopars down through the years and when i bought my Daytona it was like unreal how people turn and look or give you the thumbs up. Quick way to get a ego trip if you are looking for one but i just love cruising at hiway speed   Helps you forget every thing else.    Jay.

I drove one for about a mile. It was AWESOME!!!! I never thought I would get that chance. It was a 440 4spd Daytona. I am 25 years old and have been fortenent enough to have driven a 4spd HEMI cuda (real R code car) a 70 challenger R/T SE V code car. a 69 Daytona. 70 Shelby GT 500. and many many more.  I wish I owned them though.

[Wingnut426]

I used to enjoy driving my wingcars every chance I got. Now you have to watch out for a**holes tailgating and cutting you off. There are too many people and cars are the roads today.  Wingnut.

[moparstuart]

I got to drive the birdible about 500 miles two full weekend in late april. I have riden in several real wing cars but man driving my own clone and getting the camera phones and thumbs up wow what a rush .

Nothing like looking in the rear view mirror and seeing that vertical stabilizer...........

Wow, Gene I wasn't aware that up there in Michigan was the first time that you had even taken a ride in a Daytona. I was just happy to have gotten a ride up there then too, as it was the first ride in a Daytona for me since I was 10. Have had plenty of rides in Superbirds since then, but none in a Daytona.

You let my daughter sit on the wing last year.

Now you tell me after I move away from there. O well maybe when I come back in about a year. And this is kind of random but did you have one of your cars up at Southland at the end of June beginning of July because my brother said he saw a wing car up there.

[hemi68charger]

Here Jacob and I are sitting in Jim's gorgeous ride comtemplating what it'll be like to have one of these in our  garage.............

  Troy you look good in that Daytona,  Hope you get one soon with the market soft. I can see Moparstuarts bird and my Daytona going down I 70 neck and neck at 100+, man what a sight. Danny are you getting closer to having a wingcar? i bet its  always on your mind every day. I had to drive the 500 three days this week do to my every day car was down   lots more fun but man that thing sucks the gas  well having a big foot did not help     Jay.

I thought so.. Jim was pretty cool to let me reposition the car... So, I got my first exposure to a 4-speed Daytona and it was nice.... 

Now, if I'm able to keep Dana, then my lil' guy Jacob will be there next to me in a few years at shows.. Dad in the Daytona, and sonny-boy in the 500...

Nope not any closer to get a Daytona. Unless you consider going and looking at them getting closer to actually having one. Spent today looking at some pretty darn nice rides, none of which I could afford though. One of these days. OH and yeah I'd definitely drool all over jay's 500. Gotta admit though not sure which one I'd spend more time looking at, would be a toss up. Probably somewhere around 4 hours of looking and  on the 500, then another 6 hours looking and  on the Daytona.

You drove Dick drakes alpine white 440+6 superbird around the gateway track before!

Looks like you got home a few hours before I did Danny   4am for me...  Quite the day, and I appreciate you letting me tag along.

Oh, and I do think you'll get that Daytona one of these days.

[69_500]

No problem at all at letting you tag along as you call. As far as I know though you set up the meeting at the first place yesterday, and yeah if you got home at 4 am I did beat you home by quite a bit. I was home by 11:15 give or take a little bit.

I'm hoping that one of these days is sooner rather than later though on getting a wing car. Although I gotta admit I'll still continue to pester the same guy for his 500 that we looked at yesterday as well. I guess I'm still more impressed with it than you were, but after pestering him about the car for close to 15 years now why stop now right?
