moved my challenger conv in garage this weekend and will try to get it running this winter so I can beat around in it this summer and smoke the tires off it.  :burnout:

 :22yikes: I'm looking forward to see what your going to do. My pace of doing things on my car is snail pace in comparison.  I've been buying parts for the last two weeks in anticipation of doing alot of driving this summer.  Of course my car was in very good shape when I parked it in October.  I could never compete with what you've accomplished.  Just the basic mechanical stuff is my area of expertise and even then at a very slow pace.  Life keeps getting in the way.  Of course everyone loves to go for drives in it during the summer.  Hopefully this year we will be driving it alot because I really need my challenger fix.

That station wagon will always be my favorite though. I have that on my screensaver slideshow.
