Seems you have as many cars as I have kids, which is why I can only afford one very expensive car.  Nice Olds, very clean looking, and only 2 doors.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

"How dedicated to your hobby are you, outside of your hobby?"

Have you seen what my wife did to my bathroom?









God, I hate the floors and walls..... I've been thinking checkerboard tile floors and diamond plate wainscotting.  :coolgleamA:
Maybe a vainty that looks like a tool chest.


And I could fill pages with pictures of all the stuff I have in my office - including parts.

I have some shelves made up for displaying diecasts and my plan is to have an art print of the car on the wall behind it.

MOPAR Christmas diecast go on the tree during the holiday season.

The door between the house and the garage has a MOPARFest calendar on the house side of the door.

My wife and I have matching MOPAR jackets. :P

See, that ain't right.  :rotz:  Are you kidding me, is this some sort of sick joke?  How did you end up with a wife that would do such a beautiful thing, IN HER HOUSE NO LESS!  My wife could care less about cars, including my Charger  :violin:.  Then she went and created 2 kids (maybe 3, to young to tell right now) that could not only care less about cars, but think my Charger is ugly?  Did you happen to notice the little picture next to my forum name?  Ugly?  Whats wrong with these people  :shruggy:.  Do yourself a favor and when she says jump, ask how high?  Bring her Roses daily and massage her poor tired feet.  Make dinner and do the dishes, but not until after you've done the laundry and made her bed.  Man, you are one lucky guy.  You're alive and in Heaven :engel016:,  Good going, may you lead the way for all of us.  :patriot:.     I wanna hang with someone like you.  :callme:

Well me being only 18 and senior in High School isn't much fun because well in my autohub class I'm the only Mopar guy there and I'm out numbered by chevy guys and like 3 ford guys :P. But heres some pictures of my room I have a bunch of Dodge hubcaps and of course no place is without a Mopar clock lol. Also don't pay attention to the Fords I don't know why I have them  :scratchchin:. But I'm a kid trying to learn the ropes and well to me Mopar isn't a hobby it's more of a passion.

It's cold up here though!   :rofl:

I'm pretty lucky.

It get's better (or worse?):

- My wife gave me crap for not hanging all of my posters in the rec-room. I haven't done it because I don't want to just "blob" them all in one place and there really isn't enough space to spread them all out - and I'd want them framed first. :P

- My wife searches the hot wheels aisle at stores for MOPARs and buys them for me. Most of the time...

- My 15 year old daughter wants my 71 New Yorker  :yesnod: (or a "Japanese sports car"  :rotz: )

My wife did that bathroom while I was away on business. That blue project book in the basket is a bunch of articles and pictures that she printed off and organized for me - for my "library."

I have a stash of "any old" Hot Wheels that I pick up when I'm shopping. When my grandson visits, he grabs me by the hand and takes me to the basement door, where I have to pick him up. He then points down the stairs. When we get downstairs, I have to fire up the R/C Chargers and run them around the basement. Then, or sometimes again later on, he does the same point deal and leads us in to my office where he gets to pick out a hot wheel from my stash. Yeah, we've spoiled him, but it's as much fun for me as it is for him. He's not yet 2 years old and he can run one of the R/C cars - usually in to a wall but at least he figured out the controller.  :icon_smile_big:

Wanna see a kid stop dead in his tracks and not move? Put the "Cars" movie on.

We both got the same Challenger toy car for Christmas.  :rofl:
