Ouch...I am sure that will offend ALLOT of general Lee owners here  :smilielol: :smilielol:

But ya know I live in a Huge city.......Rarely do I see 68-70 Chargers of any colors on the road...........I really only seen a few 71-74 Chargers on the road....And I have NEVER seen a General Lee on the road only at car shows...

So are they Over done?.........Dont think so....may be different way down South.....???

But I would Love to own one I can only imagine the attention it would receive driving around town...

So when is the last time you seen one driving around??  

:popcrn: :popcrn:

sir... no offense, but this topic is about as over done as all the newer charger threads.. best to just let this one go... after all, whether you like it or not, it is their car to do with what they want.

Any Charger that isn't rotting in a field somewhere is a good thing no matter what color it is. A lot of 30-something guys (like myself) that grew up on DOH are bringing cars left for dead back to life...so in a way..the General Lee has helped save tons of cars that would otherwise be a Coke can right now.  :Twocents:

That dude just offended me bid time on afew things with what they said. Not only about the General but also about rednecks and racing cars! The dude better take and do some dirt track racing studying and then they will see where the graphics came into play at. 

There is alot of people in the world that are Dukes fans (my included) and these are the type of people that saves chargers and not kill them well maybe for one guy like some us know that does events with jumping a charger and killing it. If it wasn't for the Dukes I bet alot of chargers would be like what was said before a pop can by now or a new car that has no style at all or even a rice burner. 

He ask what is all the crap about with the General Lee stuff, easy, it's a well known car, good family show with a fast muscle car in it where the whole family can watch togother and not worry about hearing foul talk in it. When you have something good going on it tens to stay around for quite some time and people ten to like it or love it and become fans of it. Kids back them is now grown ups and maybe there dream is to own a General Lee so they make one as "it makes them feel good inside" just like we all do with our chargers both the ones that needs alot of work and being work on to the ones that are trailer queens as well. We are fans of the cars and might be fans of other things also that maybe that kind of car cross's as well so that kind of person has both worlds if they chose to because of that. And when you say charger people ten to think of the Dukes car alot as it is well known. 

But this will be my only reply in this thread.

Now that I think about it.... I think I'm going to change my 01 on my doors to 02.    :2thumbs:    This will make it easier to find my car in a parking lot and make it stand out from all the other GENERAL LEE'S.    :2thumbs: :rofl:

Yes i do........you gotta be either joking or flat out stupid if you post this on your 4th post here, and think that you get away with it! hehe :Twocents:

I am not a GL fan, but many here are, and they have saved a lot of cars from the crusher! We are a bunch of people here that has one thing in common..............we all like Chargers!!!! And we have a mutual respect for the variety of directions and modifications members do to their cars!!
We have ofcause different tastes and opinions about how we would like to have things, and not afraid of expressing them.........but Dude......it was your 4th post.......kinda like walking in to a room with thousands of strangers, and shout out that you think most of them are idiots!!
Balls........yes..................brain.....nope!!!

try this

1. switch on brain
2. switch on computer

Opposite order might not have desired effect :Twocents:
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

General Lee's don't bother me....

What bothers me is 14 year old kids who hasn't even cranked up a car with screen names always containing either Hemi-this, Daytona-that, Rarest Hemi, Awesome 1-of-a-kind Rt, SchoolBoy with 200K-Mopar....yada...yada...yada That come on here to insult hard working guys that have spent alot of time and (real) money on their rides...whether it be a Hemi car, nice driver, GL, rust bucket or whatever. If you can't be a positive contributor on here.....beat it, douche bag.

do not think I have ever seen an actual episode of the show, so the DOH sort of eludes me as a nostalgia deal. I think the car exterior graphics and pushbar look cool, but I can't really get into the tan interiors. Too bad the interior wasnt black in the show.

my dream tribute cars would be 2 replica Mad Max Falcon XB GT...one in 'new condition' as picked up from the Bronze's garage and then a second one in full on battle damaged Road Warrior regalia. Maybe when I win the lottery.

There are alot of younger people on this website that respect the generals......... Maybe it's because over 4/5 of us can't even afford a HEMI superbird. None the less a HEMI. Pot a few more times and research before you come on here looking like a idiot like most of us did.......

No matter what you do with your Charger, you can always find numerous people (without one) who are ready to tell you what's wrong with it.

i personally couldnt paint the black car orange but if i had a non R/T i would probaly be a redneck in a orange charger as well love the general :icon_smile_big:

I normally wouldn't post on this topic  (again)  but it appears that some dumbass idiot on here thinks that anyone who owns a General Lee is a toothless, uneducated, cousin-humpin', hillbilly redneck.  Who cares what you are or aren't tired of?  Who honestly....really gives a damn what your opinion is.   It's fine to have an opinion, but I don't believe you have to go and ATTEMPT to offend everyone who doesn't share your point of view....be that as shallow that it is.  Maybe we are growing MORE sick of people like you....Hmmmm...Let's weigh this one out....on one side, people who don't like GLs.....on the other side, people who are sick of assclowns like you running off at the mouth....A lot of people here don't agree with the GL concept, but at least they have enough "Non Redneck" ways of speaking their opinion.  In a nutshell...people like you really do not depict the majority of the members here.  And...we build our GLs to cherish them...not to go out and beat them to death as was posted....now THAT is a redneck way of thinking.  Now.....that being said......for the last time..................... :horse: :horse: :horse: :horse: :horse:

Hearing, or seeing General Lees everywhere is kinda like being at a car show and hearing comments like "Well, it isn't a Hemi, it's just a 440 car"...OR "WTF? I see the R/T badges, but I just looked at the numbers and it comes back to a '69 Charger with a 318?!", OR..."I can't believe you did this to a Charger" (Knowing they wouldn't have given $5.00 for it when it was found, but now that it's painted Orange, it is ruined)....Same 'ol Story..Things are popular for a reason...I'm sorry if some don't like the ones that decided to do the "Popular" version of the '69 Charger...

BTW: I had To start with a POS, as I AM a hillbilly and proud of it...I like to play with these cars and I have no money..Bad combo.. I managed to make mine happen for under $7000.00 done...
