Hell yeah ill drive it. That was the deal. But its essentially going to be her daily driver and my occasional weekend toy.

Its 5.7 hemi, automatic. I was trying to talk her into getting a 6 speed, but no dice given its daily driver role.

I needed a new car and it was between a camaro and a challenger. The wife wanted the camaro.  So I agreed to go the Chevy dealer with my brother.  Wasn't completely impressed and told the salesman I wanted a challenger.  He said wait one minute.  Next thing I know he's driving up in a 2010 deep water blue rallye challenger full loaded. I initially laughed and said I couldn't afford it but when I found out it was used and had less then 2k on it. We talked price.  Christmas Eve I bought it home and my wife went nuts for it.  Nothing hotter then a girl driving a Mopar.  Didn't op for an R/T because it's a daily driver and I have my 69 charger still.  I don't have to worry about her driving it when she wants to this summer because ill have the charger fired up and out cruise.     Good luck with yours, mine been awesome not one complaint except for the stock brakes.

she rear ended a chebby truck yesterday. everyone is ok but the car will need some major fixin'. Its already at the same shop that fixed my charger when i crashed it so i know theyll do a good job. Gonna be $$$ but thats what insurance is for. Im just hoping the unibody didnt get bent, or else it will be totaled. The guy at the shop said  (by eyeballing it) that since she hit a truck and the airbags didnt go off, it was a high hit and doesnt think its that bad - but obviously hell have to take it apart so he can tell for sure.

Aaarrghh sorry to see that but glad everyone's alright.  It's not totalled, once they remove the beat up metal and plastic it'll be just fine, easy fix.

Maybe I'll even get some mods out of it (because insurance will pay for aftermarket parts if theyre cheaper than factory stock - case in point, they replaced the carbon fiber SRT-8 style hood on my charger for that very reason)
