OK, how about a thread like ya see in the newspapers and magazines listing all the significant events that took place in the Mopar and Moparts world during the past year? It's early and my mind is a little foggy still but I'll try and list a few to get things started.

Bill "Maverick" Golden retired the Little Red Wagon.

MoparJamie/TX9Plymouth bought a heap more heaps.

The Moparts crew built a killer engine and made a great showing in the EngineMasters Challenge.

Dave Hughes stuck his foot in his mouth and nearly ruined his business over the EngineMasters Challenge.

The '70 Daytona controversy continued to show that there was no end in sight.

OzHemi and AZ_A12_Bee thought that they could take on the northern folks and win.

PrimerDust318 had to find a new home for his beloved chicken.

Prowler almost ate his beloved chicken for dinner on several occasions.

Mopars At The Strip/Las Vegas became the hottest new Mopar event.

The Mopar Pro Stock teams continued to disappoint us all while Greg Anderson cleaned house in Pro Stock.

Shirley Muldowney retired.

The Mopar Atlantic Nationals got rained out.

uNlawful's Challenger made it into the 10's and made the cover of Mopar Muscle.

The Aussie Daytona road trip took place and Dart_Girl made the cover of MCG with the Daytona.

The Hemi Ram commercials continued to be the best TV ads since the Dodge Sherriff Joe Higgins.

1BadLilCharger won the Pro Class at the Norwalk Chrysler Classic.

A much ballyhooed match race was to take place next year between MoparJamie/TX9Plymouth and MrMopar83...yeah right!

Bill Elliott won a NASCAR race.

Ryan Newman won more NASCAR races than anyone else on the circuit but wasn't consistent.

A '71 Hemi Cuda convertible allegedly sold for a million dollars but the deal was so clouded in controversy and involved too many shady characters for the story to ever be considered fact.

The Canadian indian reservation "wheelbarrow" '71 Hemi Cuda convertible was "restored".

The King Fish '71 Cuda appeared on ebay and created quite a stir.

Peelerboy "flipped" a '71 Cuda (the first time he ever did this) and a whole mess of people thought a cardinal sin had been committed.

A 9-second Avenger had a terrible wreck at the Milan Chrysler Classic and the folks from Moparts all chipped in to help out the racer and his family.

And here's the last one I can think of for now...

Moparts continued to be the best Mopart site on the web!!!

OK folks, there has to have been more. Add to the list! Here's to a Safe and Happy New Year!

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Speaking of Bill Elliott, didn't he retire at the end of this year?

Steff finally got his Hemi into the 10's as well...not to mention JericoGTX ripping off a 9.90 pass with his '69 GTX after it sat for several years.

I did the impossible with the Mail Jeep at Silver Lake...does that count?

Nick, I think Bill was gonna retire at the end of the year but may have changed his mind, not sure. I knew there were some other Moparts members who scored some personal bests for their cars but didn't know the specifics and didn't want to botch it up so thanks for adding Steff and JericoGTX!!! Oh, and ummmmm...yeah the mail Jeep shenanigans from Silver Lake count too!

In 2003, DusterDave builds his dream engine, a blown 528" HEMI, shoehorns it into his Duster, finishes it in time to bring it to the Mopar Nats (with GregZ's help), and drives it with pride on fabled Brice Rd.


Awesome!!!

A few things that come to mind...

Chickens became the en' vouge pet to have, with Hippos closing in on second place.

Winter bashing has moved to an entire new level thanks to StrokedHemi's work

More Aussie Mopars have come over this year that I have been lucky enough to be a part of (2 more Aussie Chargers have just arrived )

Another Moparts Annual Car Show have happened, showing off the unbelievable array of cars and folks we have here!

I got to meet up with a bunch more way cool fellow Moparts members this year, and hope next year will will bring more cool visits !



Ton's of other stuff too I am forgetting about, but I am sure the year to come will be even better around here!

I'm a switch hitter. One could even say I play for both teams.
