Expensive mod! - 9/2/2007 8:08:20 PM    chargerchic Posts: 13 Joined: 6/27/2007 Status: offline So there I was, walking in to my local dealership to get the price of a Mopar CAI for my '07 Charger R/T with R&T, when I saw the Plum Crazy SRT8 sitting on the showroom floor.  It was beautiful.  I had never driven an SRT8 before, so I took a used one they had on their lot for a test drive...I'm now the proud owner of a PC8!

We went to the mall to get some jewelry fixed and i tried to swindle my husband into buying me some diamond earrings. Well he didnt want to spend any money that day so we left the mall and stopped at the dealer so i could see if TorRed was the color i liked and 2 hours later i had a sweet ride, he should've just bought the earrings. Whats everyone elses story? (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 3

RE: Expensive mod! - 9/3/2007 10:52:48 AM    morfoot   Posts: 62 Joined: 1/7/2007 Status: offline My story...I had a 1995 Civic that I loved.  Had it before I was married.  Well, I had it for 10 years and started to need things to be fixed.  The wife sent me an email asking me what I had planned to do with me "piece of crap".  Along with the email she sent me a link to a used Charger SE.  Never crossed my mind until she brought it up.  So a few days later I went to the dealer and bought my R/T...which I love.  I had a little collision (chick on PCP took me head on) so I'm in a Charger SE now.  There is such a huge difference between the SE and R/T...I wanna drive an SRT8 now! That's my story. _____________________________ 2006 Charger R/T Midnight Blue, K&N Air Intake, Borla #140125, Daytona Grill, spoiler, 20% tint 2008 Ram Quad 1500 4X4 HEMI Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl, Line-X bedliner, stock for now (in reply to TorRed Tabby) Post #: 4

I'm not going to embellish my purchase, just traded-up a 03 RAM QC Hemi for the GoManGo. (in reply to chargerchic) Post #: 7

RE: Expensive mod! - 9/5/2007 7:30:18 AM    MERKULES   Posts: 13 Joined: 7/25/2007 Status: offline My wife crashed in to a light pole with my 03 Mits. Outlander.  Picking up pizza on a cold night, set it in pass. seat and well.............STEAM!  So she did what any intelligent woman would do, keep driving in (small) parking lot while trying to find defrost knob.  $6k worth of damage!  Busted passenger transaxle into back of the wheel well.  Well long story short since Mits. was all wheel drive 17mpg at best.  We also needed more room (3 kids, 2 teens and 1.5 yr old) I did a little nudging.  Charger has 0.5 inch smaller shoulder room than her 05 Grand Caravan!  Now 06 #2703 Top Banana Daytona Charger..........loaded.  Had to get DVD for kids right!?  It's plenty fast, no need for SRT8 in my opinion extra cost vs. few mods. Thanks, Merk (in reply to MangoInTX) Post #: 8
