I got a call from my son today. He works at our local Chevrolet dealership selling new and some used cars and trucks. He said he had something at the dealership he wanted to show me. He would not say what it was, I just had to come down and take a look.

Here is what he wanted to show me.....

 

2016 Dodge Challenger R/t

Plum Crazy Purple Pearl

6.4L 392 SRT Hemi

6-speed manual transmission

Sunroof

Brembo brakes

Scat Pack car

Zero to stupid fast in 6 seconds

17.7k miles on it

Heated and cooled suede and leather seats

Sirius XM compatible radio w/ 6 Alpine speakers

Sport mode

$32-33K  asking price

 

The only way this car could get much better for being naturally aspirated is if it had a shaker hood and be B5 Blue.

 

I am in serious, serious trouble. I want this car - BADLY!

Dude - that hurts. 

Actually that Hursts! 

I guess I need to get a Hurst pistol grip shifter for the damn thing now. Joe you are a genius!

BTW - I just put in the order to have the money moved to my account. I should have the cash early next week. So perhaps after the 4th of July or the week after, it will be in my hands.

Well you know what I am going to say mate !!!!!!!!!?

You’re going to love those heated seats frosty !

I suggest you start a savings plan for replacement rear tyres now !

My son and I were saying the same thing yesterday after our test drive. Yeah, I see a set of new tires in the not-to-distant future. Along with a pistol grip shifter.

Not sure about next year's Power Tour (although working AC is very, very nice on PT). Power Tour West is a possibility. An alternative might be some fall drives down the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC and VA instead.

Blue Ridge Parway...???

I know every Nook and Cranny from above Roanoke Virginia to Asheville North Carolina...And them some...Like U.S route 64 Follows the Natahalia river From Brevard NC through Murphy NC into to Cleveland Tennesee.. There are several Scenic easily accessible waterfalls along that route...Including one that you can actually drive under...The tail of the Dragon is sort of in that area (further North)..But the cops have gotten wise to it...They will invent stuff to stop and ticket you for in that area...There are other routes through that area that are just as good and fun to drive...As the Dragons Tail Without being hassled by the cops...

I appreciate your insight Two Lane! I’ll try to keep this in mind as we get closer to autumn!

Frosty. Have you come up with a name for the new toy ? 

Not yet Kiwi. I am open to suggestions!

I had thought of putting on my license plate DRSLYR2, as a homage to GE’s SRT 8 Challenger which is nicknamed “The Deerslayer” by Petty’s Garage because of all the deer and other critters he has hit with the damn thing. If critters were like enemy aircraft, he’d be a double ace by now!

That said, I have not really thought about a nickname so far. So fire away!

Too many deer, don't tempt fate!!!!   Just glad you don't have to sacrifice one or both Pontiacs to bring it home.

BRK DA BNK.....Dang missed it by one.   BRK D BNK?  LASTTOY?  CUT OFF?  I HAD 2?  SOMEFUN?  BNKMATE....Momma kicked me out.    DESI??  Goes with Lucy!

DESi is not available!

I plan to use this license plate frame too. I had it in my stash since Chrysler reintroduced the Hemi back in the early 2000s.

 

 

I like this plate lol

damson and lucy! samson and goliath reference maybe?

Michelle says Bluebear...
