    First drive in four years!!
    « on: February 14, 2008 - 05:58:18 PM »
    Hey all!!    :cheers:

    I was able to drive my Challenger around the neighbor hood last night for the first time in FOUR YEARS!!!  I couldn't go too far, because it still has some issues, needs an alignment and a windshield, but Yaaaa-Friggin-Hoooo!!!! 

    What a great feeling!!!    :woohoo:   

    Can't wait to start getting it more wrapped up, so I can start driving her daily again!!   :2thumbs:

    Congrats on that one.  I can hardly wait to do that with mine.  I know mine will take longer to get to that point.

        Excellent----Nothing like that first spin around the block after your car has been parked for a long time. 20 years for mine.  Just keep at it and you will be on the road in no time cruisin----having a good time    :burnout:

    You wouldn't believe how much water comes out and how far it shoots out of a tiny little pinhole.  I didn't notice it until the thing got up to operating temperature about two or so blocks from home.  Brings new meaning to the phrase, "Driven hard, put away wet".   :grinno:

    I bet it felt great didn't it?   :bigsmile:    I remember doing the same with my Challenger. It had fenders but NO hood, grill, lic tags, exhaust system or even windows. I sat on a small pail but it was about the most fun a person can have with your pants on!! ENJOY!   :cheers:
