I had a 70 and now I have an 09, and all I can say is get the Challenger. You'll love it. (I gotta admit, though, I don't know much about having a midlife crisis. I've spent so many years elevating juvenile delinquency to a high art form that I've never had time for a midlife crisis.) [8D]
That funny! I don't feel midlife but I do feel the need to have something with some raw power back under the seat of my pants and at my back. I've been stuck in the economy car mode for 20 years after selling my Challenger and I kick myself for doing it. But you know family first and the responsibilities that come with it take priority. But right now I see an opportunity to do this before my youngest son begins his college experience and I have that expense to deal with. At this point I have no debt and don't feel the guilt I would normally have even thinking about such a purchase.
Yesterday I took Mrs. deranged to test drive a Deep Water Blue R/T with an Automatic and she said she likes it. We had our original Challenger for 17 years so she was almost as fond of that car as I was and the test drive kind of brought back some of those feelings. She did comment that it didn't sound the same as our old one and didn't quite understand the point of the tap shift feature but overall she was impressed.
So you guys that have ordered are saying that I should probably be thinking about ordering soon to have it by April? Sounds like 4-5 months is about what you're experiencing from order to delivery? I guess I'd better get my deposit in hand and go talk some serious business with the dealer then!
