I may have made a mistake...

My wife is spending the week at the beach while my daughter attends SEA Camp. Because I love my wife, I decided to rent a car that would be more reliable than our aging SUV that she normally drives the 1 to 5 miles a day that she has to drive.

So, did I get her a reasonable ride...NO. I got her a Challenger.

Holy-o Andretti Lives!!! Please pray for my insurance!

Seriously, she deserves to have the fun. After all of her medical issues the past couple of years, this is her first real vacation in several years.

I am just thinking I probably shouldn't have shown her how to powershift or do donuts!

Rent? You shoulda BOUGHT her one!

Ogre · 06-12-2011, 03:52 PM

Now BUY her one!!!!!

Steve · 06-12-2011, 04:05 PM

Yea...OK.

Actually, she would like an older Jeep pto take to the beach. My truck pays off next month, so we will see...

Steve · 06-12-2011, 04:08 PM

It was impressive merging onto the expressway earlier when she let me take it for a spin (that is, when I snuck out while she wasn;t looking...

).

2nd gear, 6500 rpm, 80mph on the on ramp. That may not impress everyone, by considering that I drive a 10,000lb, V10 truck...I liked it! I was even able to pass a couple of gas stations, not something easily done in my truck!

Remo · 06-12-2011, 04:15 PM

Nice, but now she's gonna want one

hotreds · 06-12-2011, 04:40 PM

Good onya!

kelmac07 · 06-12-2011, 05:17 PM

Way to go Steve!!

SvilleKid · 06-12-2011, 06:12 PM

IMO The Challenger is one of the best in terms of great retro styling! Glad to hear it has reasonable performance to go with the looks!!

Sweet!

Drez · 06-12-2011, 08:55 PM

Nice steve!!! Get ready to buy her one when it's time to turn it in.

maninblack · 06-12-2011, 09:03 PM

Sweet ride! I test drove one in April and freaking loved it! But I'll stick with my charger for now.

06-12-2011, 09:04 PM

Come on steve.......We can see whats going on here. You rented that car so she would say no to driving it, and knowing it's already being rented would give you the ok to drive it.

neoflex · 06-12-2011, 09:05 PM

Its a rental so you must beat the snot out of it. Good on you to show her how.

hscmit · 06-13-2011, 08:59 AM

IBQTEE1 · 06-13-2011, 09:47 AM

Gophernut · 06-13-2011, 10:40 AM

jjirons69 · 06-13-2011, 11:04 AM
