End of the decade- dodgecharger.com moments

[69bronzeT5]

Well technically this site has been around for 5 years now because I believe it started in 2005 after the last site crashed but I'm not sure how long the old site was up for. Anyways, list your dodgecharger.com memorable moments of the decade! Can be from this site or the last. Oh and no mentions of Jessie screwing everybody out of t-shirts.....we know that already Cheers and Happy New Years guys!

Jesse screwing everyone out of their shirts was my most memorable moment.

oooooohhhh........ sooooo many to chose from........

[skip68]

There are so many to chose from,.........

Just to name a few:

Skip68's April fools prank....(I know, he's a bad boy! )
The BK Auto fiasco  
Rudyjr and "The Wicked, Evil, Devil-Worshipping" Halloween Holiday.  
The loss of some dear members......
Shelby's Daytona fire scare.  

I'm sure there is more, but I'm having a brain fart!!!

Good topic Cody.

Over the last decade, I think the introduction of the four door Charger has been a source of much debate on this board.  Some, as I recall, has been heated to say the least.

Over the last year, I believe the introduction of a few "Young Guns".  Some have worked out very nicely such as Cody and Foreman.  And others, well. . . . .not so much.

[PocketThunder]

"The back waxing thread" is a timeless classic.  (old site)
"What to do when you turn 18" is also.  (old site)

When the gay marriage law was passed and Bull started a thread about Mojo and Vainglory being able to make it official, that was damned funny also.  (this site, i think)

[66chargerkid]

My dad didn't blow up the motor in the bird.
That is a feat with in itself.

[A383Wing]

Whut T-shirts?

(I never get the memo) 

[Khyron]

Cody averaging 2000 posts a year on this site

[A383Wing]

Cody averaging 2000 posts a year on this site

There was a couple of days he never posted...that has to be a first! 

[dkn1997]

These are my memorable moments in no particular order;

1.  Mike getting on Bull Run
2.  Cuda Ken's disappearance
3.  Cody's transformation from kid to adult.  This is a big one.  It's like he grew up right in front of us old bastards
4.  BK and jb666's General Lee saga
5.  Chicks on chargers thread and that dude who had to photo shop in some material to hide his wife's clam.
6.  Daytonalo's obsession with Jerry's kids
7.  Shakey's "where am I" threads
8.  Nacho's crusade against high amp modern alternators
9.  Troy showing more patience with us than he really needs to
10. Mojo's identity crisis with some other mojo running around..."tm" next to mojo. and then the subsequent morph into iceman and ponch. and then him meeting erik estrada and posting the pics....and his slightly disturbingly vast knowledge of all things porn.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

You mean no votes for when I bought my HO Daytona?

How about when I traded it in for a Honda?

I was thinking of you and Bull when I wrote this.  I just did not want to bring it up specifically since the "debate" got a little ugly.

[nh_mopar_fan]

BK and JB666, hands down the #1.

[bordin34]

These are my memorable moments in no particular order;

  Mine would be Cody using everybody and getting free stuff.

[Nacho-RT74]

These are my memorable moments in no particular order;
8.  Nacho's crusade against high amp modern alternators

I thought you were to talk about my USA "crusade" from Cali to Carlisle LOL...

but is not againts high amp alts, is againts the ammeter sacrifice LOL

[Ponch ®]

3.  Cody's transformation from kid to adult.  This is a big one.  It's like he grew up right in front of us old bastards

Yep. Gotta throw Rolling Thunder (he was, after all, the author of the "What can you do..." thread - and now he's a hard core Charger modder/builder ) and Arthur in that group as well.

10. Mojo's identity crisis with some other mojo running around..."tm" next to mojo. and then the subsequent morph into iceman and ponch. and then him meeting erik estrada and posting the pics....and his slightly disturbingly vast knowledge of all things porn.

LOL @ slightly disturbing.

BTW - I think the indentity crisis with the impostor wasn't w/ Mojo...it was some dude hijacking my Ponch avatar and whatnot. But it was all in good fun.

[greenpigs]

I remember when Rolling Thunder was swapping in the 360 and his Charger was still white and he was "green"

[mikesbbody]

There was our European friend who Crashed his Charger (I think something broke)
Another European member who had the workshop fire (I sure hope it wasn't the same guy!)
And discusion about those General Lee jumps that got people talking.
Great advice from Guy's like Ron and John K  of course, Bullrun 

[Ponch ®]

Another moment - or moments, rather - go back to the old site: the ChargerBill vs. John Kunkel / Last426 / Orange_Crush flame fests were epic.  

[greenpigs]

Political crap and I don't miss that a bit.

[PocketThunder]

Oh yeah...where is that dude anyway? Last time I remember hearing from him he was having some marital problems and was "reassessing" his life. Another good guy (albeit politically misguided  ) that we haven't seen around here in a while.

[NHCharger]

Some of the members posting personal health problems and/or medical procedures that left me feeling ill just reading about it.

The disappearance of some members, Crycho, chargerbill, cudaken, vainglory

lol...that's what moparts is for.

The disappearance of some members, Crycho, chargerbill, cudaken, vainglory

Don't know about the first three (though I do hope they're doing well) but I hear Vainglory is ballin' nowadays.

[Brock Samson]

  runninhorn wanting,.. no, offering to buy (and owning) every car on the internets,.. finding out the modtop daytona was real... where is musteang hater?..
And on top of all would be franks turning the scow into what she is today,.. took like 9 mos and he only worked on it like 4...
great stuff.

[Nacho-RT74]

mustanghater is around Moparts

TK73 has posted here quite often.

Vainglory posted on the missed members thread not too much time ago

Chryco is still at CC.com board and I think he post once in a while around here.

[Ghoste]

Chryco rarely posts anymore but he is a somewhat regular lurker.

[NYCMille]

Can't really think of one specific moment. I do find it amazing though that after 6 years now on this site it just never, ever gets old. It's my homepage, it's the first place I go every morning without fail and the amount of knowledge, advice, laughter and friendships that I have made are over the years are just staggering. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing what 2010 brings for DC.com and it's members...

I have to say that this one though in particular is freakin' awesome...

3.  Cody's transformation from kid to adult.  This is a big one.  It's like he grew up right in front of us old bastards

Happy New Years everyone - enjoy the everything 2010 brings to you and your families. 

[jb666]

I don't know.. but 2009 felt like it was 10 years long... I'm just glad it's over!!

[BIRD67]

The thread I started about the 666 and whatnot.. Any thread that Cody and I participated in was...interesting (I'll leave it at that lol)

[71ChallengeHer]

For me it's all the great friends I've made on DC. Meeting so many of them at Carlisle.    HemiDoug taking Shelby for her 1st ride in a Hemi car. Mike talking to Shelby about Bullrun , just taking the time for a lot of questions. Thanks, Mike  Going to Vegas and hanging out with the awesome Mr and Mrs Skips68 and VegasMike.    And the Daytona fire did suck. But I'm trying to look at the good things. Here's to a great 2010. 

[squeakfinder]

The "I blank the Dukes" thread.  And its still not locked.

[General_01]

A few that stand out for me are:

1. Chargerbill railing against anything not along the party line(you all know his party  )

2. Paul's (Pockethunder) restoration thread on his red '68.

3. Firefighter and Troy setting up the proven combo's section.

4. Meeting and making friends through the board. Meeting quite a few at the Dodge Charger Registry meet in Jefferson City was great. I also have made friends with quite a few Charger guys in town that I met through the board.

5. Following Mike through Bullrun.

6. Following the rebuild of Jb666's GL and seeing him persevere.

7. Following Pockethunder on all of his building projects (First garage, second story addition, wood floor installation, second garage, fish house, etc.) Never fails to make me feel like I don't do enough around my house.

Those are a few of the many things I remember from this site. I come here every day to get my fix and to see what is going on with everyone. Thanks to every member for making this a great place. 

[dart3404]

I think the most memorable moment for me was when the old site went down  and we all scattered to other sites, till Troy put up the new home. I think we were all a little lost there for a while. Thanks Troy!!! 

Reading some of the other post in this thread, I can see a lot of stuff I missed the past couple of years. 

Oh and we can't forget about all of the your spelling sucks threads.

Happy New Year to all. 

[Nacho-RT74]

I think the most memorable moment for me was when the old site went down   and we all scattered to other sites, till Troy put up the new home. I think we were all a little lost there for a while. Thanks Troy!!!  

and the Stratocharger nickname changes just right on that moment ( some others too ... Mojo... )

another memorable moments:
-the wannabe board's charger
-Drache's old conduct and the new refreshed conduct when signed up back giving apologizes

I'm sure there are lot more, but those come in to mi mind just right now ( there are some other personal situations that I don't want to mention, if somebody else does, won't be a problem )

[NHCharger]

Almost forgot. Nacho's South American car show threads with all those HOT woman.

[Foreman72]

i haven't been here too long so i don't have too many stories...but the post your 3rd gen pics thread was very influential for me...when i got my charger, that thread was what kept me interested in restoring mine...still does...

also, the 23+ page soap opera thread with 500hp440 was pretty memorable
DS's photoshop job for the 426hemicharger kid...that was hilarious...

all in all, i have gained so much valuable info from this site...hope to gain more!

[General_01]

DS's photoshop job for the 426hemicharger kid...that was hilarious...

Gotta get me some of those awesome dog dish hubcaps!!! LOL  That was hilarious!!!!!

Anyone remember Chargerman68? he sold a new member here on DC a am radio advertised as a am/fm he ended up leaving as a result (along with his Wife). I have never seen Tufcat get so pissed  he really stood up for the dude who got shafted who I don't think posts here anymore.

That thread should be sticky-ed as a warning to anybody planning to screw other members.

[A383Wing]

Technically, this year we are in now is the end of the decade, not 2009.

I'm only going to say this ONCE. Step one, count to ten.  Did you start at "one" and end at "ten?"  What was the last number in that series?  TEN.  The NEXT series (decade) of numbers starts at ELEVEN.  2010 is the LAST year of the first decade of the new millennium.

Don't worry, 99% of the idiots on this planet celebrated 2000 as the first year of the new millennium.  Arthur Clarke didn't name the book "2001" by accident.  Remember, you do NOT start counting at "zero."

Rant over.

I'd disagree. How do you count birthdays? You are considered 1 year old at the end of your first year so you'd be a decade old on your 10th birthday, a century old on your 100th birthday, and a millennium old on your 1,000th birthday. Up until your first birthday (during year 0) your life is measured in days, weeks, and months. After your birthday you are 1 year and some number of days old until your 2nd birthday - the end of your second full year since birth. Our calendar is based on a birth remember?

[bordin34]

My favorite moments would be Carlisle and all the great people I met there.

[Nacho-RT74]

I was to post about that what A383wing posted, but didn't want to discuse that.

we didn't got a year 0, just a 0 starting point and from there the first 365 days called year 1 ( year one of the Christ birth ). We call the year BEFORE ends

we never sayd YEAR 0 after of before Christ... you say year one after or before Christ

whe are now still at first decade, because the year 10 IS GOING from now. We are on 2009 and 3 days from the point 0, 3 days runing from the 10th year what completes the decade.

we are at the Jan 3 of the 2010 RUNNING, not ended, so we have 2009 years and 3 days COMPLETED from Christ birth. Decade hasn't finished

when talking about the age ( what is not the year ) is diff because you talk about the COMPLETE years you are old...  if your 40th birthday is lets say on february, on april you still say 40 years old but you have 40 years and 2 months, you still say your complete years you got, not the 41th year of your life running.

something like this

[Ponch ®]

 if your 40th birthday is lets say on february, on april you still say 40 years old but you have 40 years and 2 months, you still say your complete years you got, not the 41th year of your life running.

actually, you are on the 41st year of your life at that point. It's all in the semantics at that point.

[Nacho-RT74]

yes you are right and thast what I'm saying, but at that point you never say I AM 41 YEARS OLD, you say I'M 40 YEARS OLD

and because same reason you are right we are on the 2010 year of the Christ birthday, but he got 2009 years old now.

after that we can maybe discuss about why we celebrate the Christ birthday on Dec 25 instead Jan 1... that will take us looong time and will take us to Gregorian calendar ( used up to mid age ) and everything. Maybe to not mix the celebration with the New Years day, and make it more separate of any party far away from religious holidays

[Ponch ®]

after that we can maybe discuss about why we celebrate the Christ birthday on Dec 25 instead Jan 1...

it depends on who you ask. Some say that it's because December 25 was the date of the Roman Sun holiday and a Christian emperor (don't exactly remember which one) decided to celebrate Christmas on that day as to overshadow the pagan holiday. Others say that Christians adopted the holiday and eventually took it over. And yet others, like the Pope, say that December 25 is nine months after the canonically accepted date of Jesus' conception (the annunciation).

I don't know...I'm still with Troy on this one.

[TK73]

Another moment - or moments, rather - go back to the old site: the ChargerBill vs. John Kunkel / Last426 / Orange_Crush flame fests were epic.  

and TK73!   

Oh yeah...where is that dude anyway? Last time I remember hearing from him he was having some marital problems and was "reassessing" his life. Another good guy (albeit politically misguided  ) that we haven't seen around here in a while.

Present and accounted for... sorta...

I've racked up two ex wives in the last five years... is it legal to marry your Charger in CA?  If so, I'm moving... trust the old beater a whole lot more than any woman...

When someone talks about "best rock band of the 1990s" or something like that, do they have the chart going from 1991-2000?  No. 

When someone talks about "best rock band of the 1980s," do they make the chart 1981-1990?  No. 



In cultural terms we identify our decades starting at zero and ending at nine.  This tends to be how we think regardless of what the number system technically means. 

   

[hemi68charger]

My most memorable moments;

The restoration/saga of my LL1 '68 Hemi Charger R/T which eventually got me to my...

number one moment, the no-money-exchanged-up-until-then-elusive '69 Charger Daytona..........  Whew !!!! I did it.......  Now, the saga continues...

I've enjoyed Geno's restoration process on his Daytona and the creation of the Aero Discussion section....

yeap, that's why I didn't want initially talk about, but since somebody else mentioned I wanted to give my knoledgement about.

Is true that culturaly and commonly we associate the decade by the second number on the year ( 1980, 1990 etc... ) but just showing the reality of the facts about where really begings and ends....

Most interesting person hands down Cody. To many moments to remember.

Not wanting to be a smart butt or nothing but I was sure AD stands for Anno Domini (Latin for In the year of our Lord)  Funny what you remember from 6th grade.  My favorite moment was Pocket Thunder's standing in line and the young couple in front of him buying rubbers thread.

[Troy]

Well, my most vivid memory is starting this site and trying to figure out what, if anything, I could salvage from the old one. My other "best memories" are of meeting members at shows and during my travels. Bad memories include the 2004 Presidential election (old site) and the 2 years I spent fighting the spammers until the software got good enough to filter most of them.

How about the Dick Landy '70 Charger? That was a defining moment for me on the power of connecting with all kinds of people from all over the world. It was neat to see the story unfold.

I'd have to say seeing Mike on Bullrun was pretty captivating as well.

There are a too many to mention but I love seeing the build stories of all the cars here. I know it can be an ordeal for some (maybe all) but when the cars are finished it's like everyone knows them intimately. That appreciation is hard to instill on the average Joe at a car show seeing the finished product (and invariably picking it apart).

We could spin the details of the year numbering system even farther - The bearded dude in the robes was said to have been born during the reign of king Herod, but Herod actually died in 4 B.C.  Best current guess for the birthdate is somewhere between 0007-0004 B.C.
