brucer41 and all my other forum friends...and I'm sure I can call you friends because I feel your pain and see your concern for me and others.
FINALLY after a long search and just as long wait my 2009 Dodge Challenger is here in my hands and comfortably sitting in its new home. I need to say this to everyone here. I read a lot of posts debating theSRT 8's against the R/T's and SE's about who's is better , faster, and what not. Well I drove my 2009 R/T Hemi Orange Challenger some 63 miles home from the dealer yesterday and I don't care what anybody says this is a TOTALLY AWESOME CAR NO MATTER WHAT MODEL YOU HAVE !!! We all have different opinions, likes and dislikes and thats what makes us free americans with different personalities, charactertics that allow us to make many varied choices.
BUT, we all love Mopars so that brings us together and thats why I say this car to me and I'm sure many of you one of the best Mopars EVER!!!
The minute I pulled mine in the garagea downpour started and hasn't let up much since. Now you know i'm not taking my baby out in the rain but I promise as soon as the sun shines I will take some pics and post them along with a few driving thoughts.
brucer41 and the many others waiting for your Challengers I'll still be here waiting to hear about yours and hoping for you that they come soon !!! Till then keep the faith as everyone before us was right......THE GRIN IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME......my face cracked on both sides from grining and smiling so much. They were also right about the attention it gets with people driving by with stares and thumbs up. Driving slowly out the dealers lot a telephone guy was up on a 6 ft ladder working on a phone box when he jumped down mouth open wide stood there staring as I drove by and gave me the thumbs up. Same thing at 2 toll plazas with one guy blocking traffic to ask me questions while waiting to pay our tolls in 2 different lanes.
OK enough for now as usual I talk to much, sorry, Fat Cat[sm=happybounce.gif][sm=drooldude.gif][sm=smiley20.gif][sm=wootwoot.gif][sm=gears.gif]

Fatcat, I just cant fathom your pain at this point. I would be jumping out of my skin to know it was that close and after all of this time the dealership is dragging its heels. Sounds like BS they cant give you your car because the managers are out. I would be homicidal about now if I was in your shoes. You have the patience of a saint sir. My car is still in KZ and the post by Venthos earlier about what codes VinWin shows may mean I am actually in KZM as the my delivery date has not changed at all and that is Monday the 29th. So I am praying its true and I see something good soon. I am going to swing by the dealer after work today and see if he has any news.
