Thank u all on the warm wishes! Ok, so "what do i know bout the challenger?" ... well lets see... not much at all (to be honest)... but all i know is, when my parents settled here from india back in the 70s, my dad was a big muscle car guy. and i always knew that i would get one down the line, my self. as soon as i said "challenger", my dad's eyes lit up! sooo, long story short, american muscle is revered in my family and i can't picture myself in anything less than that. when the charger came out, i was all excited...but when i saw 4 doors on that thing, disappointment took over. so i guess the challenger is my redemption on my american muscle passion.

As far as ordering goes, i havent "ordered" one yet. But i've just looked on autotrader.com, and i see a good 9-10 available within 300 miles of where i live... i reside in Northern Va (dc metro area)... so drivin' 2-300 miles for a good deal is worth it for me. im lookin' for the Pearl Black model SRT8.

First marriage compromise is that i gotta settle for an automatic tranny. I don't prefer it, but i aint gonna start World War III bout it either!

So ya, the Black Challenger is in my near future. Im thinking end of July/August. Just need to save a few bucks for the down payment. And we'll be good to go.
