Thanks, Mopar2ya. I really DO like the car. Picked it up y'day AM, spent the afternoon going through the 400-page manual & trying to become familiar with how everything works and since the weather here in Pa is GORGEOUS today, I drove it to work (20 miles each way). I upgraded from a 155k mile 375 HP 69 Chevell SS and that was a nice car, but its OLD school steering & brakes etc made it pretty unrealistic to drive amidst the work day traffic here on Rt 2020 where the BMW's cut you off at the flick of a wheel, etc. But THIS car is up to it - handles well, rides well, has pickup (I have all of 40 miles on it now so I'm still going EASY on it, so I haven't WOT'd it yet). Got pulled over by a cop in my FIRST MILE of driving it home from the dealer (just so he could get a look at it). A septic tank cleaning crew stopped out in front of my house when they saw it in the driveway y'day and talked to me about it for a 1/2 hour. This car really is a standout and people like it and like to talk about it. Originally, I was thinking to make it a garage queen & just drive it on sunny Sunday afternoons and put just a few hundred miles a year on it, but I've decided the drive it a bit more than that (maybe up to a few thousand miles a year). Still let the jeep take all the rain & snow, but drive this one on sunny week days too. After DECADES of watching my bro with his 73 Challenger Rallye and MONTHS of waiting on this one, I'm finally here. V.P. Stone white R/T (and THIS time, Kowalski didn't back it off the truck and he ain't gonna get to drive it now either!).
P.S. Biggest "little surprise" so far - how the windows "crack" themselves when you open the door and "uncrack" themselves when you close the door.
