Quit lusting over those overrated '69's. You already have the best year. Only year that can claim vent windows and no side markers..

The boy and I took our cars and went to a local cruise for about an hour til the rains came. This was his first solo flight with the manual transmission. One week of lessons and he's a frikken pro already. There is something to be said about initiative I guess. He REALLY wanted to learn to drive a stick, did lots of online research and followed (some of) my directions and picked it up faster than I ever did. Simply amazing. He says this car is so much more fun to drive with a stick than his 2104 Camaro with an automatic. He said he feels so much more involved in the driving experience.

There is hope for the next generation of manual transmission enthusiasts!

One of his friends stopped by in his black 2015 Challenger R/T (5.7 with an automatic) and was asking my son how the heck he figured out how to drive a stick. He just shrugged his shoulders and said it was easy. LOL

Steve this is the local car I was talking about. Not the best picture, had to take it from the median but it does show those stripes.

Haha, yeah I know, but that’s the one car I’ve wanted since I was probably 8 or 10 years old. I’d love to do a Yenko or Motion tribute and go out and enjoy the car for what the real ones were originally built for!

My wife works at the local Ford dealer and she called me yesterday saying they got this go mango beauty on trade! 18k miles, 2020 scat pack wide body, six speed, alcantera seats, 6 piston brembos and active damping suspension. Just like I would’ve ordered one! I can dream I guess. It’s way more car than my 5.7 R/T was.

If your wife told you about it, that would be implied consent to purchase...

What are you waiting for ...

Haha, I wish. We’re needing a van now, so my challenger dreams are on hold. I’ve got a 2 and 5 year old so we’re in that phase of needing a van for space and convenience in parking lots with sliding doors due to car seats.

Maybe that is why it was traded in.
