Hey,
Just a general question. Whats the most fun you've ever had in your Charger. Whether it be eating stangs, donuts, burnouts, racing u name it.  Be interesting to see a few stories.

So far, I would have to say it's maiden voyage to my house after I bought it.  It was 50-60 mile trip at night with no gauges or lights, demon possessed steering that kept trying to force me off the road, and virtually no brakes.  It was an adventure I will never forget, and while most wouldn't consider it fun, I couldn't get the cheesy grin off my face for the entire next week  :icon_smile_big:

Driving my Charger home from a parking lot about 2 miles away from home where I met the transport trailer that shipped my 68 R/T from Georgia. My wife and two daughters were following me in her mini van and I got two thumbs up at two separate red lights. The Charger was painted prime black, but it ran tight. It was kind of loud cause the whole interior was out - bare metal and both mufflers had holes in them. You could hear that 440. My neighbor that owns a 71 440 6 pack Cuda came out to see what was causing his windows to rattle. I told him that he's no longer the only sheriff in town!  :angel:

Everytime I go to the gas station or grocery store, people come out of the woodworks and comment on the car or ask questions or tell storys....priceless. Try getting that in a new Mustang.

Back in 79 I was driving my 69 r/t 440 4sp. It loved to cackle when you backed out of the throttle. We have a small college here in town with a big parking lot and open tennis courts that the Lady of the night and there men used a lot. I topped the hill right by it one night about 1am at about 45 pushed in the clutch at the top of the hill and about half way down let out the clutch it sounded like gun shots and was very loud. People went scrambling everywhere I thought I was going to die laughing but had to keep a straight face until I passed them and went up the next hill. Boy if you tried that kind of thing today you would probably get shot. But I was young and dumb at 17 years old.

The memory still makes me smile.

The first time I drove the Charger to work.  The alignment was terrible, so I dropped it off for an alignment and picked it up half way through the day.  I was dying to drive it home.  When I finally did, the handling was a MAJOR improvement, and I had tons of thumbs ups from other drivers.  The best of which when I was in the passing lane and a semi pulled in front of me to pass a car.  He saw me behind him and he shot back into the right lane, rolled down his window, and waved me forward.  Right as I got by his window, I gave him a blast on the dixie horn.  I saw his hand slapping the side of his truck in sheer excitement.  It was so cool.  Another guy in a pickup gave me the thumbs up, so I gave him a shot of dixie too.  His hand kept doing the "rock on" thing.  I love seeing how excited people get when they see that car.

My test drive in the first 69 charger I bought, went like this.  Kicked it at 55, went to 110, and then the dude says, oh, by the way, it dont have good brakes...  try NO brakes, that was fun

::)

Let's see?... I wasn't shot when I asked the fat drunk hermit if he had a Charger in the barn for sale. ;D I got to back it off the trailer and drive it into a barn 4 years ago, and there it sits to this day! :'(

My mechanic told me, "I couldn't fix your brakes, but don't worry I made your horn louder."

I've barely driven it, but the most fun was the time I was about two blocks from my house when I came upon a two car accident. Fairly major damage. I was driving past it when a cop motioned for me to pull over. He came up to my car looking really serious and pointed to his cop car. He said "See that car over there, it's got lights a nice built in computer,and a really loud siren, I'll trade it for your Charger right now". It was so surreal because all I could see was two really F..ed cars, three cop cars, an ambulance and a fire truck and here was this cop completly ignoring that stuff trying to trade me cars. I loove my charger!

Actually, the most fun in a Mopar was with my dad's '68 GTX about ten years ago.

I had just finished washing it at the local car wash and pulled out to take a spin around town. I met this late 80's early 90's Camaro and they whipped around in the road and started following me. I could see in the mirror it was a couple teenagers and they would back off and then floor it and come up close to my bumper. I was not real happy with what they were doing because the last thing I needed was to explain to dad how I wrecked his prize GTX.  The kid kept following for a couple miles and I decided turned off on to a nice straight section of road. Of course, they followed me so I kept the GTX at about 30mph and waited to see what they would do. I was watching in the rear view mirror when he floored it and went to pass me. I decided to give him a chance and waited until he came up along my door with a full head of steam. As he came along side I smiled at his friend then nailed the GTX and immediately jumped two or three cars on that little 305. I didn't let off until the speedo hit 100mph and I could see the guys friend laughing at him in the mirror as I pulled away. He turned off at the next side road. Poor kid probably never heard of a 440 before.  :icon_smile_big:

The drive back from the TDC meet in Boerne, TX last year is right up there.

We had a string of 6 or 7 Chargers (1st, 2nd and 3rd) on the road and more on trailers as we were heading back to Houston (3.5 hour drive).

It was so freakin' hot that the black seats in my "70 leached into my shirt, 'cause I was sweatin' so bad.

But the looks we got and the shear excitement of being in a Charger convoy was unbelievable, and so outweighed the heat that I was grinnin' the whole time! :2thumbs:

Plus the times traffic would thin out (cars were around us like bees to honey), someone would lay on the gas and then they'd take the lead.

Pullin' past a line of Chargers to be the lead car was just awesome. :yesnod:

On the way to Boerne we even had people videotapin' the cars.

And yes, hot chicks really do prefer Chargers. :D

 There have been alot of fun times but one time in particualar comes to mind, it was just me and the charger driving south on the pacific coast highway, it's was october and it took me most of the day to do this ride down and back to a club meet in santa cruz the same gang that puts on the mopar alley show in june every year... I drove south and stopped every ten or twenty miles to take picsnear the pacific ocean, my black laqure paint was new then so it musta been in '89 or '90... I remember the car was running great and a tremendous feeling of acomplishment and freedom on that kinda foggy October day and the pics came out great too... the sun would break out of the clouds on occasion and bathe everything in this percing golden light, i kept trying to captire it in a photo but it was a difficult to get it just right. I will allways remember that drive...

I do have to go back over 20 years since that was the last time I had a Charger that ran good enough to have any fun in. I loved driving it home on the interstate for the first time after I bought it. It was my first performance car up to that point, so I can still remember the feeling from mashing the gas pedal on the way home. As for the one time I had the most fun in the Charger, that's too hard to actually pinpoint.

What's probably my most memorable one, which in turn can be the most fun thinking about, was also one of the strangest. I was dating this girl I was crazy about back then & we went everywhere in it. All it had to be to be fun, was to just sit in the driveway with her & I'd be happy, or just get in & head over to her place in it, a '69 Charger SE.

One night we were out driving in the snow & had to stop for gas. It was just earlier that same night, that she & I had talked about why I had liked the car so much in order to buy it. I told her a few reasons, the look it had, the color, & also the big, shiny, gas cap on top of the quarter panel. That, she had thought funny & laughed. To this day she'll probably laugh hysterically if she were to see one again.

As the gas station attendant came to the driver's window, he asked what I wanted. I replied to fill it up premium, & rolled up the window. He walked away, but after several minutes of walking around both sides of the car & pulling on the rear license plate, he came back to the window & knocked. I rolled it back down & he said "Hey, where does the gas go dude?"

Well, the girl I was with couldn't stop laughing, & she was laughing so hard she was crying. I had to get out & use the snow brush to uncover the gas cap so the kid could pump the gas. :D

Hey, I love that drive! I used to be stationed in Peteluma, CA back in the military days and I always took that drive south down to Santa Cruz along the ocean cliffs any chance I could get.
Damn beautiful - those pull-offs are great photo ops especially with a Charger.

Can you post those pics???? Love to see 'em!

My 68' had a small part in the independent film,"Tattered Angel" that was shot around the Cincinnati area in 2001.The car had about thirty seconds of air time during the opening credits and was mentioned once again in the film.I actually got to do a burnout scene that related back to an abduction.Overall it was a really fun experience, and I got to meet Lynda Carter to boot!There's more info about the movie at http://www.tatterangel.com/home.html
