Default RE: Handling at high speed

Sorry to hear that BkChallenger09R/T. Are you getting compensated from the V/A for the agent orange issue? I too am in the same boat. Jan72-Jan76 I was in the USAF and loaded munitions on F4s and A7s. I just bought a Corvette in Nov 2004 and a few months later I found out that I had prostate cancer. I was so bummed out about that and didn't feel like doing anything. I sold the Vette within a month or two of the news. Just didn't feel like driving it. I was 52 years old then. I inquired about filing a claim for agent orange compensation but was told that I had to have set foot in Viet-Nam to receive the compensation. I explained to them that even though I was not in Nam, I was at Udorn RTAFB in Thailand and loaded all types of munitions (including what I believed at the time was agent orange) that were used for the war. It made no difference to them. So, rather than fight "City Hall", I gave up about filing. You got to love the red tape. Anyway, buying this Challenger has been the best thing to happen to me since before prostate cancer. I've had lots of hot muscle cars in my "youth", but I have never been as excited about any of them as much as I have about my white Chally. BTW....my personalized plate is "VNSHPNT".
