RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

I had planned to pick it up this Thursday but they were late putting in the new ECM tuner. I was so disappointed but they assured me that the tuner and larger throttle body would be finished by Friday afternoon. I asked them if they put on the new Cragar wheels would there be any delay and they said just about a hour. I said okay, let's make it happen. I got up Friday morning and while having breakfast all I think think about was driving the Challenger down the highway. As I got in my minivan, I could envision myself firing up that 6.4L engine and revving it up a couple of times as I pushed in that clutch.
I could feel the dual pressure plates engage as I released it and finally gave it the gas as I pulled away from the drive way very slowly. I was fearful in my neighborhood from what I read that those mufflers were bordering on illegal and I didn't want to wake up my Texas Trooper neighbor friend.

As I stopped at the stop sign, I looked in the mirror and I saw my self smile and I had that smirk that said, I am going to smoke those tire. As I turned left, I could see the wind blow the smoke down my street and it looked like a smoke grenade had been tossed in the street. I did a 180 and drove through the smoke and I got excited smelling the rubber as it brought back memories.

Then I realized, I was day dreaming as I looked up and saw the smoke coming up from my hood as my temperature gauge was pegged in the red. POOP!

I'ma fill it up to the top and just drive wherever my whims take me. I'ma be eatin' a sloppy Tommy burger an sippin' Coke. I'ma be wearin' a cool t-shirt and playing badass hard rock and rap on my stereo. I'll be playing songs like "bad to the bone" and "ridin' dirty." However I will stick to the nicer areas because I heard poor people get jealous and are liable to throw things at nice cars. I guess I'll probably go shopping and buy some cool video games, gadgets, magazine, and munchies. And I'll probably go for a really good pizza. And then maybe I'll sleep in the car on the first night. But actually the first day of driving it wasn't what I was thinking about.

After I get my Challenger, I'm going to blow off my business for a while (while still collecting passive income), and just take a month or 2 or 3 going on a long-ass road trip all across America. First I think I'll visit San Diego, Monterey Bay, and San Francisco in California. Then I'll head off east and probably see Las Vegas, etc. I want to go to some nice amusement parks cuz I love rollercoasters. Then I guess I will end up in the Northeast, and then I turn around and drive back and see some more places along the way. I also want to see a good air show too on my road trip. Oh and I like museums, aquariums, and steam trains too. I'll buy a really nice camera and video recorder and take pictures of everything. I haven't seen most of America yet, so this would be the perfect chance to see it all. And I'll take a lap top computer with me so I can have access to my stuff on the internet.

god i would love to be able to go straight from a dealer lot onto a long cruise along some hot deserted road like Route 66 but the reality is id be collecting the car from somewhere in England and most likely driving back through congestion, rain and more rain!
But ill still be smiling from ear to ear :)

Id definately plan a road trip with friends. [8D]

Well with my luck the first place I'll probably be headed is to traffic court... [sm=gears.gif]

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

i am sure some will be headed to the buyers remorse club

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

I buy mine in VA, drive to the grave of my stepdad and remember good times we had at the NHRA spring nationals, talking cars and listening to the stories of when he was a tearing it up w/ his bad@$$ Mopars in late 60's early 70's. Then maybe hit some of the cruising spots he used to hit (Orange Virginia, Harrisonburg (have to check the anti -cruising laws there),Waynesboro. and Staunton) with my wife by my side and the kids at my mom's house.

Should be a memorable time.

I guess I'll drive straight to the house and wash and wax her. Then drive around town and stop off at all my kin folks houses just to see whats what.:D Let my sons drive her and then off to let my brothers drive me around and share some old memories:) Then the long trip out to Kansas to see my folks and all I can say is watch out I-40;)

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

I will take the afternoon off, pickup my wife(more than likely she'll be with me), cruise around town a little. Of course, i"ll be testing the throttle response every chance to feel the power. Pick up my son after he exits work. stop by my parents. Cruise around town some more. 2nd evening I will go by my brothers and pick him up, leave there and pick up his brother in law and take him for a spin. ( he has lou gerig's disease, loves the challenger and requested a ride) I would like to take a summer vacation and cruise route 66, my wife prefers to cruise on ships- this would not be her preference, but I would really dig it. gas would cost me a fortune, coming from FLA. I'll definetly be working on it.

I'll cruise around the neighborhood and take my friends who are into performance cars for a ride. One has a 2006 Z06 Corvette and the other a 1968 SS 396 Camaro.

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

Honestly haven't thought about it until now. I've been concentrating on paying everything else off (aside from the mortgage) so I can put myself in a position to make it happen. Really, it's all coming together nicely, so.....
I guess I'd put my wife and the two boys still living with us in the car and head for a resort town not too far from here (Lake George, NY) where cars and motorcycles are greatly appreciated and just cruise, turn a few heads, have dinner, and then head back home (with a full belly and a HUGE smile on my face).
;)

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

I going to go back to my house where there is a long straight road (1 1/2 miles long) and let that big hemi out until the tires burn off! Then I get some glasspaks and a new air intake.:D

RE: Where will you go after leaving the dealership
 

Thanks Koopa and RRunner. I hesitated posting, as it could be a kind of a downer. But, I think you guys are both right, and I figure I'll be doing right by him. I believe he will be smiling! :-)
