Picked this up Friday. I have big plans for it!

before anyone asks...no it doesn't have a Hemi...

That will photograph MUCH better than the minivan :)

Congrats!

i still kept the focus *station wagon*:). i drive to gainesville every wednesday for work so it gets to make that drive instead of the Charger

That's why I keep my Silverado...It gets pretty decent mileage and I don't mind piling the miles on it because I paid cash for it and hey...It's just a pickup.

My car on the other hand...That's for tire boiling, small-child-scarin', mindless manfun. :D

mindless manfun


Is there any other kind?

ooooohhh, lol -I kid, I kid, I just couldn't resist.

*snert*

You should give me your focus so i wont have to walk 2 1/2 hrs to work 4 days a week

i thought you had a car?

UPS brought me these toys today:

i could have gotten a Hemi if i wanted one...i got 27 miles per gallon this weekend with the A/C on...to me that's more important than being able to go fast on the rare occasions when I need it!

here's a pic from tonight with the wheels on...

The Charger R/T's do that bad?

Weird...My GTO gets between 25 and 27 mpg on the highway...I thought the Chargers were in that ballpark. I know the SRT-8 is a guzzler, but the R/T's too?

Oh...Good looking car!

they do about 13-18mpg i think

Yikes! My Trailblazer SS got that bad (and could outrun Charger R/T's OR tow a 6k lb trailer)!

sweet..nice looking ride w the rims

Yikes! My Trailblazer SS got that bad (and could outrun Charger R/T's OR tow a 6k lb trailer)!

for some reason these dodge engines aren't known for their MPG. I'm happy with mine though, it gets up to speed just fine. I just wish I could track down this stupid vibration any time I go over 75mph

With the new wheels? Or was it there before?

Go get them "road force" balanced if it's a new issue. If it's a pre-existing one, put the old wheels back on and take it back to the dealership and let them fix it (if you go in there with aftermarket wheels, they won't even look at it and just blame the wheels).

where can i get a road force balancing around here?

Let me ask my buddy that's a manager at a Hibdon's and I'll get back with you.

Road Force balancing is available at Merle's on shields.
405-634-3432.

They did my toy!

got the trunk cleaned up a little today. the empty space next to the amp is for a sub box that will be ported through the rear deck

also got the air ride installed (wasn't sure if i had posted this before or not)

where can i get a road force balancing around here?Talk to Jamie at Firestone (360-3363). Tell him you are on OK-Speed.

My Intrepid was capable of getting up to 33 mpg on the highway, but usually got about 27 (until she started to cave on me this last year). I sold her 3 weeks ago.

Slick-looking car. I hope you really enjoy it.

Put in a different stereo setup today. I'm a lot happier with this one.

^^amp mounted on rear of box out of sight^^

Kicker comp 12" sub. The box is a pre-fab one but it fit perfectly between the air compressors and under the rear deck insulation. Sounds real clean but now the trunk rattles at high volume.

new show display i made up with the new info

Nice!

Not crazy about the rims, but the rest is nice, real nice. Not even sure why the rims don't strike me, maybe just the lighting

the dark pictures don't really make the rims look good.they look better in the daylight

yeah, it was the lighting :)

Is that a Mach I I see?

it's a 73 mustang but i don't think it's a mach I. i'm storing it for a friend of mine

Heh...Want to store my GTO while I move? I need the garage space :D

sure, but it'll have to sit out back by the focus... :beaten_fi

I can move it out of my own garage to free up space :P

But then it might get rained on or something!

Here are some new pics of the car since I've done some more work to it. I took these in the garage at night so they're not very bright.

I'll have better pics next time I do a photoshoot or car show

You know...Every 100 lbs. you add to a car will slow you .1 in the 1/4 mile :tiphat:

it still goes 85mph on the interstate, that's all that matters to me :dizzy:

Its too low

raise it and throw some 24's on there

no thanks

That car looks ugly as a lowrider

everyone has their own opinion, usually it's considered polite to keep yours to yourself

regardless i don't care what you think and I'd like to know what you've invested your time and money into that is better...

My 95 monte carlo ss

22's 2 12's brand new paint job new window tint new amp

o yes its a beauty

I just took another look at the pic that accompanied your initial post, Brad. Is that an HDR pic?

I was jk'ing about the car being ugly though I really do kinda admire it

I just took another look at the pic that accompanied your intial post, Brad. Is that an HDR pic?

no it was just really under-exposed from the camera so i put it in photoshop and brought out the shadows & highlights. it kind of gave it the HDR look though.

I'm sure your car is nice. even if it's not the direction i would take my vehicles i'm not about to go around saying it's "ugly" or tell you what you should do to your own vehicle. I guess after going to car shows for almost 10 years with 5 different vehicles i've learned that there are lots of different tastes in what is nice.

I have a q

with your "ride" being so low does it make for a rough ride?

no it has air bags on it so i raise it up to drive and it rides better than stock

O ok thats kinda cool

I really do hope u forgive me your calling your car ugly it was a joke and I now realize it was a bad one so please dont be mad

it doesn't bother me as much as it would bother a lot of other people so i try to call someone out when they say things like that

like i said, everyone is entitled to have their own opinion...it's just considered polite to keep it to yourself if it's likely to offend

I think its wrong to not speak your mind though

do what you have to do, just don't be surprised when you really piss some people off.

I piss people off all the time im hardly surprised when it happens

something to be proud of, i'm sure.
ok i'm done with this conversation.
