What are you changing.

Ok simple question here. What is the first thing that you ARE going to change when you get your car.

This is not a wish list but the one most important thing that has to be changed when you get your car.

I'm going to do the CAI but unsure as of yet which one. Hopefully deciede buy the weekend so i can order it.

You're only going to change three of the rims? That will not look very attractive. I do not reccomend that.

Re: What are you changing.

Cutting corners any way one can!!!You know the feeling.

Its just dawned on me 46500 + plus tax 6% then 800.00 for delivery.Son of a B******.
I know I'm gonna destroy this car.I'm planning some very hard driving just like the old days.

Dude my wifes already hitting me up on a new house.I have cleared almost all our debt this past few years and believe me this isn't a cheap car or affordable to the masses say such as a mustang would be.See there is more of that rationalization carp I sold myself on this car so hard I wish I could find customers like us.Dodge you listening??

Dodge has a great loyal base reforming we just want our cars!

The more we all make the more we spend it took months for me to rationalize to myself this car was worth it.
Remember the great RT SRT8 Debate's a few months ago seems like last year already,lol.
This is as my kid put it. "This car is a non essential item Dad,lol".
He gets that from me daily! How dare he,lol.
Good,walk Jr.

LOL ,Yeah a run flat on the back right ,lol..
Maybe a spinner run flat,lol.

Smart a**'s
Check this out.
Now I'm serious here I was in Chicago way back when I was 25 or so,working for my dad's security company I logged so many miles approx 50-70k a year doing service,seen about everything so I thought.
A guy drove by me at a street corner on only rims.Stock nasty rims just about the strangest thing I had ever seen,but no it gets better In Detroit down about 5 mile area a guy went by me going the other way with only rims on his car as well.
WTH would make you do that?
The guy in Detroit had some cheap spinners just ripping up the road something awful.
LOL.....Now maybe thats a good look the sparks were amazing.

Intake here too thats a must asap work from there steal from petty cash once in a while,lol.
What you guys think are they making cars up in Canada or playing golf ???
There been no real new lately funny its down to a trickle of indicators things are moving per the Registry.
Cool to see things somewhat moving but a month flew by and no real reports of many cars going to the public.
I'm in a pickle I want to put on a set of rims for all seasons,swap tires around have several sets track,snow, road, and get that retro look this is freaking tough.Any suggestions I posted a distress thread..LOL
So maybe by Christmas Id have an idea what to get myself.


Ciao,

Re: What are you changing.

Actually, I'm leaving mine alone and will just drive it. I will enjoy it for what it is.

Re: What are you changing.

Well... being that I've already had my car... here's what I changed and in what order:
  1. Window Tint (came first because it was the quickest to schedule and complete).
  2. C&L Cold Air Intake (second because it was delevered before I dropped off the car for #3)
  3. Silver Stripes to replace the vinyl decals

If, however, I was only able to do one of those... it would have been the window tint... I've had window tint on the past 3 cars I've owned.
