Month: February 2009

  • Some friends of mine also has an '09 Dodge Challenger.  Except theirs is Brilliant Black.  The husband is a police officer in my department, his wife is a dispatcher for my department.  Today we hung out.  I went to their house and we did a little photo opp for the two cars.  These were taken with my cell phone, plus my car was not clean.

    It was a lot of fun.  I am going to try and wash the car tomorrow, but a cold front is moving in and I might freeze my ass off while I do so.  I'm also considering getting some new wheels for the car.  I'm looking at the black American Racing Torq rims.  They aren't too pricy and they have a classic look to them.  Here they are, tell me what you think:

  • NEW RIDE!

    The new ride arrived at the dealership around noon!  So I will give them time to do all thier stuff and then I'll be hitting the streets!  More to come.

    EDIT: I took a couple quick photos with my phone.  All things considered, they turned out pretty well.  Since I was told under no circumstances would my car go un-named, I named it Ash.  Which is of course based off my fondness for Evil Dead/Army of Darkness/Bruce Campbell movies.  I don't care if it works with the orange color.

  • EDIT #2:  I'm still waiting on it.  It hasn't arrived yet.

    EDIT: I am thinking sometime in the future, after I save up plenty of money, I want to put some black rims on this beast and then paint the brake calipers orange to match the body.


    So I made a purchase.  A new car.  I'm still waiting on it to get to the lot, as it is in transit.  In fact, I'm so excited about it that I tend to lose sleep anticipating it getting here.  Here it is, an '09 Dodge Challenger R/T:

    These are photos I found online.  While I don't have my car just yet, this is exactly what I purchased.  I think I can wait until Tuesday.  But if it takes any longer I will likely explode.
