Well, for me the waiting is sorta easy. I'm forced to wait here in Iraq
But, I suppose we can do what any other club can do and just shoot the breeze while we await more news from Dodge. Maybe here in a couple of months we'll know more on the '09's and go from there. Tell then.. SALUDE!

I was thinking "now what" as well today. After I drooled over every single shot, decided the black ones look amazing, and checked out everything on the dodge site I was thinking great, now another 8 months til the 09s are actually available without price gouging (if we're lucky). . . not to mention no R/T / V6 info released. I'm back to playing the waiting game. Oh well. At least everyone planning on getting an SRT has all their answers.

Hey brother, thanks for sitting this one out for us waiting in Iraq. Well, really, I am sure you would love to be in another spot, like back home here in the US, but you have certainly answered the call, and that my man is way more important than a simple car.
Will look forward to your return so you can strap on a real ground pounder, and it ain't no hummer. Semper Fi man, keep your head low, and the finger on the trigger, and come home safe. I may not be the lean and green Marine I once was 17 years ago, but I am still a Marine.

But, all in all I like my life and career and we will just think of this as an extended business trip. And you are right... Semper Fi.

Thanks for serving, Mike... if you email me your address, I will send you my recent car mags...(motor trend, R&T, etc) I am usually done with them in couple of days and can send them over...

RE: Now what?
mike, ive often wondered...we have quite a few members at the various sites, who are stationed overseas in the military. when youre online, do you have like a laptop or something, or are you in a computer lab? do they provide you with computers?
when in college (2000ish) a friend of mine was engaged to a guy in kosovo, and she NEVER heard from him...and she never mentioned anything about him having internet access...is this a newer offering for you guys and girls overseas?

1- This is a protracted war/sustainment/whatever its called so my section is permantly on a FOB(Foward Operating Base). So we aren't leaving anywhere and have constant access to 220v power for our internet satallite.
2- We are fairly frugal with our money and purchased a slightly used sat for about $2500.00 that included all the goodies with it.
3- Kosovo was different... and yeah, I know what you mean by a new offering. Technology has come a long way since then! Yay!
We do have commo-blackouts here... we call it River City. When a soldier/marine/sailor/airman is killed or severely wounded all of the phone/computer centers are locked up till the immediate family is notified. We don't have to technically shut ours down because this is our property not the governments; however, we do out of respect (and the fact that we do have some blabber mouths in my section).
But I use my own laptop.. just a simple Toshiba but it gets the job done. I take correspondence classes online and just chat with my family back home. So, if I'm going to be over here for 15 months then I'm going to be as tuned in as best I can with everything going on back at home... plus its pretty cool seeing my daughter on webcam pretending to be Hannah Montana.
LOL!

RE: Now what?
I appreciate it fellas and I'll pass that along.. but they are kinda tired of my 28 year old arse acting like a kid right now showing them all the pics of the Challenger. One guy said he's had enough of me talking about the Chally and is just "going to get the Camaro and stomp me".. I just said bring it and I'll even pay for his pass to the track.
