If I had A Dollar For Every Time....

Next car show I am going to go around and tell all the Charger owners "Nice Challenger" and see what happens. 

LMAO!  I'll have to try that at Spring Fling .....

[FY1Cuda]

How many of you Challenger owners have had someone come up and feel obliged to tell you that they (or a buddy) once owned a '69 just like yours?

When I was shopping for my challenger I had called a Dodge dealer just outside of Calgary who told me he had one on the lot.  I drove down there only to have him try to sell me a 2009 Charger - he was assuming I wouldn't know the difference!

I get "charger" all the time too!

Just last week I had to get my CHALLENGER inspected by the Kansas highway patrol . I pull it in there garage and guess what one of the officers say..... Hey nice Charger they don't make them like that anymore !!!!!

Yet more proof Cuda's are better!   

mine is either a mustang or a charger....  no cuda for sure..... 

[cudax34me]

I've had my cudas refered to as chargers for years.Even had two girls call it a mustang.Some people are just knot-heads.When I had the superbird years ago I was asked what year corvette I had in the driveway.Like I said knot-heads.

Well, they just heard the song "Double Vision" and just thought they saw 4 doors.

Back in the 90's, I had a really nice 72 Challenger, base model, flat hood, Corvette yellow. It had a monochromatic theme with no emblems.

I must have heard "nice cuda, dude" at least once a week for the four years I drove it.

I had Chargers and Challengers simultaneously for a long time and most people would ask "Is that a Charger or a Challenger?", so at least they knew there was a difference.

Never got asked about Mustangs or Camaros.

I have had my 318 for about 6 months. Everyones dad or brother has or had one.  In that time I think I have accounted for at lest half of the hemis in existence and come across the elusive 440 hemi once or twice.  If anyone out there wants to know where a mint 440 hemi is, I will get their contact info next time I run across one. I seem to be a magnet for 'em.

Too funny I think I met that guy too .

 For a while in the 90's I had a orange 70 charger along with the plum 70challenger I still have. Sure enough the same people who saw me in the charger would say "nice charger" then the next day see me in the challenger and say "nice charger"

[AARCUDADEN]

My Cuda has been called a Camero numerious times and my Dart Sport is a Nova  Worst part is i hate Chevys 

[BIGSHCLUNK]

I thought this was an isolated thing because I live in the middle of nowhere in WV,but after seeing this thread I guess its all over. Is it bad that it annoys the hell out of me most time?

 I was driving my car over the day I got it to pull the drivetrain out and kind of see where I stood with the overall condition of the car and I stopped at a gas station. I had someone follow me the whole way to the gas station just to ask what it was. Then I pumped the gas and heard "Nice charger" from 3 diff people, and on my way back out from paying there was a guy leaning through the window looking inside, and TOUCHING my car and saying "thats a *****ing general lee" (its orange)

the things I heard the most when it was sitting in my lot by my apartment:

How much will you take for that
boy thats worth like 50k
nice charger
some guy has a camaro down there in that lot


I couldnt be outside without people stopping and asking about it, I would find cards on it saying "call this number, I want this car". A guy banged on my door one time and offered me $500 for it....what an insult



When I get a fresh coat of paint and get it all shined up I know it will be ten times worse...but hey its worth it
