Default Finally saw one in the flesh!

Ok, so I am on my way to work today around quarter of noon and I look at the neighboring parking lot, and lo and behold I see a brilliant orange mechanical statue on wheels. It looks so much better in person than any picture. I didn't get to see it up close, and obviously, I don't carry a camera to work with me. However, I'm lucky to have a decent quality camera on my phone so I snapped a couple shots of it. However, the shots are from a fair distance (the one of the rear is probably a football field's length away and the other one maybe 50 feet or so) but you can tell there's definitely an '08 Challenger there.

EDIT: Having some picture trouble... trying to get it fixed.

Challenger in the wild... definately a rare breed and a sight to behold.
As mean and gnarley as they look though you should be able to approach one within 50 feet with out too much fear of dangerous consequences!
Cool you got to see one and thanks for sharing. Good to know there are actually some out running in the wild!!

Sweet. When I first saw mine I was speechless.

Tomorrow it's in my garage after a nice drive to show it off.

We took ours to a local cruise-in





It has almost 800 miles on it

Very nice, especially with a repesentitive breathen alongside. Makes those 2 doors even more obvious seeing next to a 4 door.

Finally! Over the last three weeks of vacation driving cross country I spotted the Challenger on the way home on the highway. Then the kicker is I finally see it live in my little berg of Enid, OK. The car IS NOT big the way people keep writing, bigger than the current 'Stang and original Challenger but not classic B-Body size at all.

Here is me at Johnson's of Enid Chrysler/Dodge
