AWESOME Doc!!! Congratulations!!! I'm completely with you! I love the old stuff, and will always have at least one oldie for that feel and sound, but it's really hard to argue the new stuff for exactly what you mentioned. AWESOME!!! Thx lMop ... but dropping almost 40k was a surprise .., I was thinking about buying a wrecked SP or HC and then transferring everything into a REAL Ugly Betty but that’s over my head since I’m slightly over 39 years old !! And tb .... I hope to .... and being open about the purchase - if someone wants my dealer contact I’ll be glad to share it. I got a base 2020 car ... that is LESS EXPENSIVE than some 17, 18 or 19 cars with MANY MILES on them. They still have 2 black Charger cars ... a green and blue one - not B5. Also have a couple of Challengers. Thx Ram .... and can you believe that I’m a touch over 39 and never bought a new car ?

I have been drooling over the late model Challengers since the were released. Last fall, I got the opportunity to test cruise a low mile '15 Scat Pack six-speed. Our local dealership is located on a highway just outside of city limits. First turn out of the lot and by third gear I knew I was taking it home. The manager was not impressed with my exit from his lot...

Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you.
WANT TO BUY- Looking for a CD by 'The Sub-Mersians' entitled "Raw Love Songs From my Garage To Your Bedroom". Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

..., Scat Pack or Hellcat.... I maybe had 10 minutes drive time in a Scat and a 5 minute ride in a Hellcat some time ago then I jsta pulled the trigger on a 20 Scat Charger .... Near 40k$ is a touch heavy on a car but since I’m a bit over 5 8 years old and never had a new car - I felt I was deserving enough !
Corrected for truth. Nobody cares that you are not a young guy anymore, Eric. Most of the members here are over 50, right? Glad you are enjoying the car ! jJs— i always geta ... when about the age thing ! .... and your allegation is a touch low toooo !

Congrats on the new car. I bought a 2010 Challenger SRT Hurst edition in October 2010. Great car to drive. Added a Kenne Belle blower 4 years ago. More power!! Lots of fun.!! Thx DS and Ds .... it’s been a new experience! ....never having a BRAND NEW CAR. And it’s been A VERY LONG TIME since I’ve even ridden in a privately owned one.

I don’t think I’ll ever think of my 62 Belvedere again .... even though it’s nearly a 12 flat car with a 276 gear and iron manifolds.
What say you ?
Hopefully you'll think of your 62 Belvedere; again. And drive it. And when you do, if you're like me, you'll be, "Oh man, I missed you Belvedere!!" I bounce between my Hellcat Charger, 71 Super Bee, '09 300, 72 Imperial, etc, etc. and each time, I love driving each and every one of them, for their individual differences, for the cars that they were, for the cars that they are, and for the joy they bring me at the time I'm driving them. Congrats on the new car, and don't wait too long before driving ole '62! WHYlee.... I hear you but sometimes you have to move on. I’ve had that car since 1970 .... but chit happens. I finally sold my northern Michigan property and I have until October to remove the remaining stuff with NO PLACE down here to put it. The 62 has been sitting since 04 .... and as itis suggested - part of it has probably melted into the ground I am TRYING to find some storage space to move stuff here ... but the cost is huge and ALL THIS STUFF is 1500 mules away

I'd be interested in an old prehistoric, caveman '62 Savoy or Belvedere...
My 1st impression of the new Mopar muscle was when I worked at a Dodge dealership. I thought "cool, nice cars; really small windows, though" and how much boxier the new Challenger was vs the original... Drove 'em all: great power & good dynamics, but I have no desire for all the electronics and nannies.
Regardless, they're still nice, and I'm glad they're out there and folks are enjoying them. And I respect that they're better at almost everything than the old cars. I'm just hung up on the visceral stuff, simplicity, and styling of the old stuff. ts .... well drop me a line ! ... I’ve got THAT plus two classic motor homes... a 90 mph HydroStream ... a old shovel nose drag boat and that 440 84 Laser ... That ole 62 ... is how I got started in the fiberglass business!
