Outstanding!

Hi All,
I got my car this afternoon. What a machine. Everywhere you go people are jerking their heads around to look at the car. For those who are wondering, I put my two year old in her car seat in the back and there was plenty of room. Also, I did not know that the back seats fold down so if you need to haul some lumber (just kidding) it's a cinch. Also, there were conflicting accounts of the push button start. Let me tell you that yes it has a push button start and if you get out of the car with the key/door lock in your pocket the car will not start. You can leave the windows down and lock it and it's still safe. The exaust sounds fine to me. Kind of quiet when idleing but manly when you put your foot down. It comes with generic carpet colored floor mats. After seeing my car next to a black car, I'm glad I got orange. It is absolutely stunning. The dealer had to park the car in the garage because they could not control the people around it.

GOT ONE!! As I have mentioned, I ordered two under my name from the dealer. One for a friend and one for me. I did this in an attempt to secure the MSRP deal on both cars. My friend backed out. His black one came in and we went to look at it. He decided not to go through with it and that Black Challenger SRT8 just looked ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL… so I had to grab it! This car may be the meanest nastiest car I have ever seen in my life. IT IS TOO COOL!!
So we went down last night and picked it up. WOW! I am about speechless! I don’t think it has completely sunk in that this big bad dog is sitting in my garage. It now has 30 miles on it. It is incredibly hard to stay off the throttle. Hammering the throttle is so cool… the car actually snarls and growls and then just gets down to business!! I cant seem to wipe this childish grin from my face!!
I don’t know what to say other than this is hands down the coolest baddest car I have ever had the pleasure of driving… let alone owning.
Now the Challenge will be when MY Hemi Orange one comes in. Can I resist the temptation to buy another… will it seduce me into purchasing and stretching my budget to the max. If so will it be worth the pain and anguish of the ensuing divorce… stay tuned…
THIS CAR ROCKS!!

Hey, congrats Mopar, glad you finally got one! Enjoy it! Mine has shown no movement after "Departed Faciity" at Windsor at 9:58 am on sunday. Anyone know of any auto carrier accidents?

Mine is finally in another state!! Last known whereabouts is Decatur, IL. My dealer still thinks two more weeks. I hope he is wrong. Looks like the end of next week to me.

You have the 2nd rail from Kansis City in a couple days, then 4-6 days. Yep around Friday of next Dave. :-)
