I saw a new Challenger today... I hate to say it but it looks sweet! Not much change from the 70' version, looks like it burns about as much gas too!

Saw my first one "in person" on the road somewhere between RDU and Fayetteville (coincidence?) back on the Thursday before Memorial Day; black over orange, had those "Michigan MFG" plates on it.....

I was too busy being happy to see Cowgirl Tink and SVTCobra306 (the latter just 8 weeks back from the sandbox) and smiling/laughing too much at how happy "Latigo Heeler Puppy" was to be riding in the truck with his Mommy (Tink). Didn't think much of it at the time; only ralieghstang65's screen name and the topic (Challenger R/T) brought it back to mind.

Did look cool; even if my absolute favorite amongst the current Mopar offerings is a big ol' RAM3500 with that "leaning backwards C" on the fender.

Yeah, but with the 710's you could get an optional tranny out of a European Mercedes bus. Works really well with the Jacobs exhaust brake........

Don't envy me; envy the guy who let me drive his; because I reluctantly gave it back to him!
