The first time I actually saw a third-generation Challenger in real life was the day I went to the dealer to order mine, as they had one of the first two in San Antonio sitting on the showroom floor (someone already owned it, but had agreed to let the dealership display it from time to time). The first time I ever actually drove a third-generation Challenger was after mine arrived at the dealership and I went out to pick it up. Naturally, I had to take off right into the middle of rush-hour traffic and had to pull into a parking lot just down the street to adjust the headrest on the passenger seat so I could see out of the right side of the car. Still, it was great.
