Well,,, I only take a swig once I've gone through all the gears... Otherwise, the spil-proof cup is on the seat with me.... Gotta have my coffee in the morn.........  So, what's with these cup holders?

Man Troy, how often do you take Dana out for a spin? Just kidding, I think I take the 500 out just about 2-3 times a week during the summer up here. It just always makes me notice how much I do drive it when it gets to be winter time, and its parked and I haven't drove it in a few weeks.
This has been a screwed up year,the 500 has been trailered to Darlington and Carlisle and driven to Lebonan Valley in September and thats it but I did get the Challenger done and got the house ready to sell so I can't take all the blame this time.

I am aware that there wasn't a rimblow available in 69, was just trying to make a comment, well a smart ass one anyways. I always thought those rimblow wheels were strange anyways. Don't know why anyone would want one when they were new. Then again back then I might have thought it was the coolest thing around.

Rimblows are an interesting novelty, but not really good for when you want to really lay on the horn IMO.

My "72 Imperial has a rimblow, and it's ackward as heck to use, especially when you need to.

They're a little on the "unattractive" side too.

That is a gorgeous car...   Color??  T3??

At least four more months 'till we can drive them again around Detroit.  Must be nice!!!!!  Your interior pic reminded me of something I've been curious about for years.  I had a '70 R/T-SE, and the rear console chrome bezel looked just like the one in your picture.  The one on my '69 C500 has a cigarette lighter in it?????????

Thanks... It's T7 Dark Bronze Poly....  The rear console covers with the lighter in it were on the C-bodies.... At least all the ones I've seen are exclusive to them........

R6 red on a done car is gorgeous to me anyways. Haven't seen too many though. Not to say they aren't out there, just not as many as the F8 greens and R4 red cars anyways.
