My Charger bucket list

Not an exciting list by any means but these are some Charger drives I want to make.

I want to take my Charger for a significant stretch of Route 66.
Retrace the Bullitt chase scene.
Retrace the filming locations from DMCL.
Perhaps some American Graffiti, Vanishing Point and Two Lane Blacktop scenes as well.
Attend a wing car reunion.
Chrysler at Carlisle.
Take the 67 camping.  (don't ask why, I don't know, it's just something I've always wanted to do in that car)
Drive a Charger on a road race course. (I've done lots a dragstrips, the high high bank oval at Chelsea and the low bank oval at Indy so...)

That's about it, all easy enough.  Maybe I'll finish them soon and do something like Australia???

Not this year my friend.  None of them this year.  The only driving I'll be doing in Chargers this year will be to work.

Nothing wrong with that.  That's the part I enjoy most.

When I forget that the car I'm driving is a classic and I use it for its intended purpose I get the most enjoyment out of it.

That is so true.  I make it a habit to fill it up once a week.  Apparently driving it Friday through Monday equals about 10-12 gallons!   :eek2:

My daily is a 2004 5.4L F150 which gets 13MPG on the highway on a good day.  I'm thinking the 383 around town can't do much worse :)
[ŌŌ]ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ[ŌŌ] = 68
[ŌŌ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖƖ][ŌŌ] = 69
(ŌŌ)[ƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗ](ŌŌ) = 70

My 383 did about the same as my 440, very little difference.  Both 4 barrel cars.  10 mpg if I keep my foot out of it.

My Charger bucket list is pretty short, just 2 things.

1)  Open garage door & go inside.
2)  Start doing SOMETHING to the Charger.

I'm trying to do the opposite now, open garage door & go inside but don't do anything to the car but drive it!!
