Who me??? Get tired of 8's? By the time I start running 8's I will be ready to retire. I have to slow the car down (throttle stop) and start at 10's then 9's and with a pair of Depends, I will do 8's.  :icon_smile_big:

I'm cashed out. We just spent $250,000 on an addition to the house and we also bought a $350,000 2nd house, so I don't have a lot of extra cash for a Charger.
I almost bout a 69 Charger that runs 9's (tube chassis car) but the guy didn't want to show me more pictures and he didn't know a thing about the engine and trans spec's so I backed off on that deal.

Two houses must have enough equity for one measly little Charger.     :D

Hope you have some fun with the Duster, sounds great.   :2thumbs:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Right on Jim.  I can't wait to see it tearing up Woodburn!!!!

When it's time for Depends let me know, there's no sense in you having to buy a whole package.  I'll spot you a pair whenever you race down here. :icon_smile_big:

Hello DCG.  Merry Christmas. :wave:
Sorry for the hijack Jim. ;D

I'm in Texas and forgot my password's book.  It was late at night and I wanted to post, so I used my "pet name" for the time being.  I'll be on this puter whenever I'm at my mom's and we're moving here next summer.
My mom has a 3x black '06 Charger RT that I'll be hammering on this week.  She asked for it for a demo cause I was coming.  I told I wanted a 300. :-\

Cool dude,  give your old car a 3 second headstart if you race it someday.

I hope you leave the pic of the Charger in your sig just for old times sake.  At least for a little while.

My mom used to let me drive anything she had.  She's a little apprehensive this time, I don't know why.  Maybe it's because of the chair, ;).   I'm still working her, problem was I told her what I was gonna do.
I used to go to the dealership and drive anything I wanted too.  I'm gonna try and get a ride in a Viper tho, last time I was able to drive one.


Sorry for the 'jack Jim.  We're keeping you on top.  BTW, will you repaint it or anything?

Some day I will paint it black but I will have to try and save up for a while.

BLACK!  That will look bitc3en. :thumbs:

Jim, how do you plan on driving with only 2 tires on the ground.  It's kind of hard to practice, too cool.  Maybe put some mirrors out in front on the fenders so you can see your lane. :lol: :icon_smile_cool:
