What an excellent idea and a fun road trip from Oregon. I will do it BUT I NEED TO PURCHASE MY CHALLENGER first.

1. I organized a 5 day Detroit event for the Thunderbird forum members. I kept all my data and contacts and could reorganize to include hotel info, Walter P Chrysler Museum, Meadowboork Mansion, Edsel or Henry Ford homes, a Motown Music review, Greenfield Village and Ford truck assembly tour, visit to my collection and restoration shop. The t bird event was titled Motown Thunder. Maybe Mopars in Motown?

2. August 2008 (8th thru 10th) is Mopar nationals in Columbus (Hebron) OH. Challenger tribute year.

stevelegel....wow that sounds like a good start especially since you already know the logistics and it would be easy to replicate.

Sounds great, Possibly at the same time as the Woodward Dream Cruise. August 16th, 2008.

I was thinking that as well, only NEXT year.......I doubt many of us will have our Challengers this summer, so I figured we'd shoot for '09.

This is a terrific idea! I like 2009 better than 2008...just because it will give most of us here that much more time to actually get our Challengers and drive our pride and joy out to the event. You could always do one in 2008 and if it's successful, then that would provide further incentive to any of those out there who may be on the fence about this potential gathering. Either way, if it's in 2009, I will be there!

I have a few problems.
1. CAN'T DRIVE(I'M 14)
2. DON'T HAVE A CHALLENGER.
WON'T HAVE A CHALLENGER.
DAD WON'T GET ONE FOR A FEW YEARS.
3.We could involve all mopar muscle for the dreamers and not dreamcatches.
4. I LIVE IN IDAHO.
WEDGEHEAD AND I WOULD HAVE A BIG DRIVE TO DETROIT OR WHATEVER.
5. MAYBE IN A FEW YEARS WHEN I HAVE MY LIECENSE, AND MY DADS CUDA, I CAN GO.

I assume you mean that LEGALLY you can't drive. My old man taught me to drive when I was 12.

1. You'll be 15, close to or more than 16 when the summer of '09 is upon us.
2. Having a Challenger isn't required to go to the Rendezvous. You're a Forum member, right? Heh, you might even be able to "rent" a Challenger to ride to the Rendezvous by that time - another option.
3. We have lots of MOPAR Muscle rallys around here. This is the dodgechallenger.com forum. While we have the same passion and loyalty for our cars as our "brethren", this would be unique to Challengers. BUT - there's nothing to say we couldn't hook up with any existing rallys that may be occurring at the same time in the same area.
4 I live in Upstate NY. It's a long trip around the great lakes to Michigan for me too. I was trying to 'give us all a reason to physically get together in one (fairly) centralized location. Since Detroit/Auburn Hills IS the birthplace of the Challenger, and somewhat near the middle of the country, I thought everyone converging there would be like watching "all of the salmon swimming upstream to where they were born to spawn". And again, having it in Detroit would be a possible lure in getting the designers as well as the Dodge heirarchy to attend in whatever capacity they would be able/willing.
5. Maybe you could talk your Dad into taking you in his Cuda or Challenger (or rental car).

Anything's possible if you THINK it is. If you don't, you've already beaten yourself.
