Kevin, you have some contacts in the t-shirt industry, don't you? Maybe you could point mopar in the right direction to get gmdodgechallamero.com t-shirts printed up. [8D]

RE: Challenger Sightings.
For the first time, I've encountered a jerk driving a Challenger.
My wife and I were driving around this afternoon in Alamo Heights, an old-money suburb on San Antonio's north side. I spotted a dark blue 09 ahead of me, and started snaking through traffic to get a better look at it. Eventually, we pull up next to the car (it was an R/T) to the driver's left. The guy appeared to be in his late 50s (not that much older than us).
I drive alongside for a bit, and the guy doesn't even look over. I beep the horn politely, and my wife waves at him. Still, the guy doesn't look over. I ease about half a block ahead of him, then slow down. Now the guy gets a real PO'd look on his face and doesn't turn his head in our direction. I ease ahead of him again, then slow down to turn into a convenience store on my left. The guy drives right past us like we didn't even exist.
Even when I had my 70 back in the old days, I NEVER encountered someone driving another Challenger that wouldn't acknowledge a friendly greeting. Of course, back then, I wasn't going through snooty parts of town, either.

RE: Challenger Sightings.
He was probably PO"d becaus e the salesman told him he would have the only one... that nobody else could afford the $12,000 dealer adjustment...
Then... for him to see one out there with common folk driving... he"s probably home having a nervous breakdown as I write this post.
Kind of wondering though why you would think that Challengers would be exempt form jerk ownership...

I once tangled with another guy who had a nearly identical black mustang gt and after I let off and we came up on the light I tried giving him a thumbs up. Didn't even look our direction and just turned left and took off. Pfffttt... Jerks.

RE: Challenger Sightings.
Thats just right Bro'!!! Despite having gone all this way now without one but waiting has been made easier hanging here as you all have gone through it as well. While I have no regrets that my 09 order has been canceled and I opted for the late model 08, I now have joined the ranks of ownership finding the car in Salt Lake, delivery to come this weekend. Woohoo....Go Challenger!!![sm=bounceybounce.gif]
