Jim that is a beautiful Challenger ....
First Home
Latest I've ever started getting vehicle out of storage, but we been slammed with graduations and some other more important priorities. Of course I had to bring the 70 Challenger home first. 
She's dirty, but she's home!! still a bunch more vehicles to take out, but that will be over time.
Need to get this gal cleaned up and start cruising with her.
At a stop light coming home from the storage garage an older gentleman pulled up next to me and asked how much I wanted for it. I thought he was joking so I just gave him thumbs up and he said "no, I'm serious". I love spring/summer.

Just checking in
Cruising around in the 70 Challenger has been a blast this year so far. The car is running very well and I have met a lot of great folks who appreciate classics and just want to see them up close. I have been asked several times so far to pull into a parking lot for the requester to look over the car and just talk about cars in general.
Sure you run across the normal Ford, Chevy, etc. die-hards that won't even look your way because its not the brand they like, but I did have one "Chevy fan" this past Tuesday night who followed me home (I was getting a little nervous after he followed me for several miles) but as he told me after he got out of his Silverado in our driveway once I got home, he just needed to see the challenger up close and would never admit it to his friends when he was around them, but he has secretly loved challengers since he was a teenager and saw mine and wanted to see it, reminisce, and just talk. Really nice guy, we talked for a long time.
In the 3-4 times I've been out with the 70 already already I've also noticed a high number of 2010-2023 challengers who are either driving on the opposite of the road or a good ways behind me, and the next thing you know they have either caught up to me, or you see then doing a quick turn around to catch up so they can cruise for a while with me. Kind of fun. I did have one idiot with a challenger hellcat who did nothing but goose his next to me egging me on to race instead of just enjoying a nice cruise but over all it's been a blast so far.
I also have people I know who constantly complaining about police, sheriff & state patrols singling them out and picking on them just cause they have a classic and I can say with all our toys and with all my time cruising over the years, I have only have one time where I was singled out and that is because I was being an idiot and goofing around with the car (my 08 vette at the time) so I deserved it. In general LEOs are no different than any one else, they enjoy classics too, heck, a lot of them have classics. I've gotten several thumbs up and several "nice ride" at stop lights from local police this year.
Now I need to get my 2015 Scat pack out of storage and cruise with that a bit.
Enjoy the summer all, I sure am so far.

Thanks MammaBetty, you are Always the persistent one. Love it.
Of course, you could stretch the legs of the that beautiful new SP once you get it and take a drive over to Sioux Falls.Jim
Well, that's a thought.....😍Thanks MammaBetty, you are Always the persistent one. Love it.

Yup, exactly. That's why we are not brand biased, we have Fords, Mopars, Chevys, Austin Healy, etc. we cover them all.
