Driven Hard and Put Away Wet?
Or, A Future Chick Magnet?..
         (or, as in 71 Challenger's case a Man Magnet.) Did anyone figure they'd use it any different then It is actually being used?..
Post up if you can think up any other Categories that might apply to your ride for example, if it's still a "work in progress" how do you hope to use it?.. You can Vote in multiple Categories BTW but I'm curious about your Charger's use mostly.

1968, When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth

Ghoste

Mine is used pretty much how I anticipated it would be.  It's a toy but not a show poodle.

1BAD68

I drive mine as often as I can but living in Wisconsin and knowing how quick salt can eat metal, it gets parked in November and wont come out until April/May and then its driven as much as possible.

I'm with this guy.  Minnesota is the same.   :yesnod:

Sublime/Sixpack

I drive my Charger for enjoyment, also to keep everything working well (it likes to be exercised), and to ease my big block, four speed, MOPAR craving  :yesnod:

Haven't been driving it for the last few weeks because of the weather. But I try to get it out about once a week when the weather is decant.

As far as it being a future chic magnet... well, it seems to have more of a knack for attracting men  ::)
Still looking for 15x7 Appliance slotted mags.....

Example...

Nice day today in NY, so I took the Charger into Manhattan, picked up a buddy at work then drove around NYC for 3 hours showing off for the tourists.

Otherwise I drive it almost daily as long as there is no snow on the ground (tried that once and it wasn't too much fun). It's my track car, my rally car, my therapy car and my beat the hell out of it for sh*ts & giggles car....   :2thumbs:

69bronzeT5

I voted shelf in the garage because it's the closest thing to what it is...but then I saw "A Money Pit Possibly Completed in the Next Month to Ten Years". BINGO! :smilielol:


BUT when it's done, I'll be driving the balls off it....exactly what it was built for! It'll be basically what Mike said...my track car, my rally car and my fun car. :cheers:

I put "A Money Pit Possibly Completed in the Next Month to Ten Years". Well, it definitely won't be done in a month, but I hope maybe a couple years or less. I've had it 22 years and have yet to see it move under its own power. But at least I'm getting things geared up to where I can get this thing in the garage now.

Most of the votes range from daily driver to sunday car, three are racers so 50 or so runners...
and 20 plus are projects or planters,..  No-one cops to a trailer queen...  :lol:
I know it's not too scientific since many members have a great many Chargers in various states of tune and dissrepair, this was just for fun. If anyone can come up with a more accurate method of determining our Chargers use,..  :yesnod: post up..


Ghoste

Buddy, the best way I've found so far of determining my Chargers use was to go for a drive and see how I feel when I get home, if I feel great (which is pretty much every time) then my Charger was used... well!   :coolgleamA::2thumbs:

defiance

Only in my dreams so far (with a few very short exceptions...)
