I was so excited, I forgot to take off my shorts!
Seriously!
No not what you think. I love the new Dodge Challenger, hell I love the old Dodge Challenger. It's just me, perhaps, but I think the Challenger is the best looking American Car ever made. Since I only buy American cars, that translates to the best looking car, period!
Since I first saw the concept car, I have been wanting one. I always wanted a vintage car, but I am mechanically challenged (pardon the pun). Hey, I was raised by a single mom and became a cop when I was 20, the only thing I've ever fixed is a ticket!
Anyway, I remember going to the Dodge website every few weeks and watching the Challenger clock count down the months, weeks and then days till the Challenger was released.
I remember also one night when they got the first SRT8 here in Lake Charles LA. I loved it but for the price difference I thought I would go with the RT. Last Wednesday I checked the local website and found that they had two in Lake Charles. I quickly got dressed and went down there. The one I saw had lots of options and was over 36k. I had priced one at 30k earlier and I was talking to the saleman about either ordering one like I speced out or getting the one for 36k. As he was going run the numbers on both, I heard a salesman say, "we just got a silver RT for 30k". It was exactly like the one the salesman and I had speced out a few weeks ago. Obviously I took this as fate and told the salesman, "That one is mine!"
It will make a great garage companion for my silver 06 Z06. The RT is silver also.
Oh, to explain how this started, I was drinking cofee and waiting for the crew to finish my deal, and I had to go to the men's room. When I got in there I was having some unexplainable difficulties. Finally I relized that in my excitement to get dressed and get down to see the new Challengers, I had forgotten to take off my shorts before I put my bluejeans on!
That's my stroy, sorry it was so long. I am happy to be here!

Welcome lowriderfxr, I'm new here myself. I live in Alexandria, good to know some Challengers are starting to show up. I've got the first R/T sold in Cenla, if not the first Challenger. Enjoy the experience!

RE: I was so excited, I forgot to take off my shorts!
I loved your story! I just bought a Challenger three days ago. Unfortunately with my budget I had to get the SE. After driving a truck for so many years a V6 is all I need, because anything bigger and I would probably hurt myself! I LOVE this car! Wow! The attention you get is unbelieveable! Since you are a cop I thought I would tell my experience. The first night I had my car I was pulled over twice within a 30 mile radius. I wasn't doing anything wrong when they stopped me, but they just wanted to look at the car! Did I mention I love this car? Congrats on getting your car! I am sure you will love it as much as I love mine!
