Wow: The first ride of the year is always exciting. I did a bit of work on the Orange Challenger over the winter, fixing a few oil leaks etc. Took it to breakfast this morning with my Mopar buddies. First gear is unusable, second is just spinning, even third is like driving on ice. I think it handles fairly well for an old car as well and the large discs haul it down in a hurry. All in all a good drive. If it sells I know all is well with it.
That's why we love these cars I guess.

Nice! Looks good. Makes me wonder if us northern climate residents appreciate the cars more because we can't just jump in and drive them on any given day.

Yes: I think so. By the end of the season I start getting bored with the bad gas mileage and seeing the same cars at any shows I go to. The start of the season is a lot more fun.
