It's not a Charger but.... Priceless

[70Sbird]

Buying a car off of the internet: $4,000
2 one way tickets to Dallas $400
Arriving in Texas at the exact same time as hurricane IKE $0
Rain-X wipes $2.00
Fuel for a 900 mile trip $185
Breaking down in Missouri, and repairing a hole in a radiator hose with duct tape and a zip-tie $ 0.25

Spending 2 days with your 16 yr old daughter in an old car with no radio in the rain, and making it home OK  - PRICELESS!


By the way, the duct tape and zip-tie made it all the way home!!!!!

Wow great story!   Sadly my 2 girls are more interested in dancing school than old cars   I blame their mother!

Great story. Glad you made it home safely. Did you buy the Demon for your daughter ? My daughter would paint it Panther Pink and drive it.

Back in high school , I had a 340 Demon , loved that car . All ways liked the little Demon stickers on it.

[skip68]

That is a beautiful car.

Great story, and with the storm you may have saved that car, I bet many nice old mopars met with much worse fait than a tapped up rad hose that means not only are you a hero in your daughters eyes (I'm assuming the car is for her) but to old cars everywere

Wow great story!   Sadly my 2 girls are more interested in dancing school than old cars   I blame their mother!

LOL, Im in the same boat brother.

I got two little girls and they both hate cars.

[41husk]

Until they are 16 and get there license,  Then they will be interested in cars, but mostly just sound system, AC, and starts when you turn the key.  Now if they get a boy friend who likes old cars, they will more than likely develope a sudden interest

Thanks for all the positive feedback,
I must admit I have two teenage daughters and both have been dancing 3 nights a week for 13 years!
This one is my oldest and is all about Tap and Jazz dancing! She's not really much of a car nut, other than she digs on her 99 VW Beetle!
I just tried to get the opportunity to capture her for a couple of days, to spend some one -on -one time and this worked out
She probably will only still be "in the nest" full time for a couple more years   
I still can't believe that I have a teenage child! I still act like one myself!!!
She did drive the car a bit and described it a "Wobbly" compared to our other cars!
