Default RE: Why folks want to purchase a challenger

I'm in to it for a number of reasons actually. Like most of us here, it's probably difficult to pinpoint any one, specific reason. Top of my list has to be the stare-at-me-styling and the performance to match! The Challenger has been coming in and out of my dreams at night since about January 2006 when I first heard about its debut at the NAIAS in D-Town. Also, I've never owned and/or driven a MOPAR and have always been curious. They apparently are/were all the rage "back in the day" and continue to be today. Now I actually have the opportunity to sample some real MOPAR muscle for myself! SUH-WEEEET!

Quite honestly, having owned two Mustang GTs (1999 & 2005) and two Explorers and a Taurus SHO, I could use a change of pace from Blue Oval. However, I can't even fathom buying a used Vette or a Camaro at this time. It would be like going out and buying a Yankees hat! For any New Englander, you know what I'm talkin' about right now. Who knows though - maybe when the all-new Camaro comes out in early `09 I'll consider it, but for right now my mind and my heart are already made up on the Challenger.
