It is hard to be invisible with these cars.

I am shocked when I take it out and nobody stops me, gives me thumbs up, waves or asks me a thousand questions when I gas up.  My Charger may not be as valuable as a wing car but even if it was one, I would still take it out any chance I get. I don't drive it FOR the attention, that is just a side effect.

Couple shots of mine out in the wild :

Quote from: Kern Dog on November 18, 2024, 02:00:40 PMIf so, that plays to my point. Having a cool car that is on such a short leash does not sound like that much fun.

One can "have fun" a quarter mile at a time and around town, not every cool car needs to be capable of cross country trips.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Well for some, I agree.
I just never cared for cars that were single purpose. I want my cars to be capable of doing everything well.

The "absorbs water" argument surely matters where humidity is high. Out here, it is often in single digits and rarely gets over 30%.

Florida is mostly 80-100 percent for 10 months. Boating keeps the fuel reasonable and plentiful. (I don't race, I drive.)  :scratchchin:

That is hard for me to imagine.
On that same topic...I've lived almost all my life where it is hot and dry in the summer and somewhat cold and wet in the winter. I haven't travelled much so when I heard of how it rains year round in some states, it boggled my mind.

One downfall of owning a real Wingcar is that you worry that taking it for a drive and something might happen like   a wreck. Sometimes I wish I just had a driver quality Charger to cruse in. Sacrifices that I make. :icon_smile_big: Jay.

Answering to the initial subject of the thread...

You tell me! When I was driving around the country (all along Venezuela) it was not weird to get a Whassapp or SMS saying I JUST SAW YOU AT HIGHWAY ( or at a mall, etc... ) while I was driving.

So go figure having a girfriend... I had to be loyal. I couldn't be with another girl LOL.

And my second car option to drive was an ORANGE Mercedes 1975. GO FIGURE, LOL.

I went to a car show for the weekend one time about 400 miles away. When I got back, a work buddy told me about a picture of a car that was sent to him by a friend of his. It was MY car. My buddy hadn't seen the Charger and didn't know what it looked like.
