Hi From Madera - Page 3

Thanks for the greetings.
The 79 Magnum vs LXs just wasn't right and we all knew it. B body vs LX = not even the same type of car, but of course before I arrived there wasn't much of anything from the 70s that SJV Mopars had to deal with, so the class was fine.
I love the car and we all could be so lucky to have our cars look like that after 30+ years of Daily Driving....I hope my Charger looks that good when it gets that old...lol Not to mention quality control from the 70s makes anything still driveable from that era rare anyway.
The problem was it either went to a LX due to it being pristine or my Magnum simply because of nostalgia. It wasn't fair to anyone. Now that it's taken every class I could enter it in, it's time just to park it over in the membership ride area and be fair to everyone involved.
I'm not new to Mopars, having owned a 66 and 70 Charger, a Satellite, Magnum, Cordoba, Dakota, Pacifica, two Rams, and a SXT Neon.....probably a few I've missed as well. Used to even own a 64 Corvette Convertible...which was the worst driving car I ever owned and currently have a 68 Elcamino awaiting resto.
With the above said, the reason I went with the Six VVT was due to currently owning 4 V8s and 2- fours, needed something down the center.
I will definitely be joining in on the cruises and gatherings, but I really need to get the books done and see if the Tax man is going to take my new car...lol

Hey Dennis,

It's about time you seen the light. lol
Welcome to the club. CenCal is teh BOMB!It'll be nice to compete with you, not against you. Hope you enjoy modding your Charger as much I do my Challenger.

Hope to see you on the 10th of March at our Madera Meet & Greet (EAT) @ the BLACK BEAR. If anyone is considering spending the night, the Marriots is right next door to Black Bear.

BCHN- Did you go to any of the Walgreens Shows this past year? I never made it out there. Maybe this coming season I'll show up for a few.
I haven't been to the Auto Body shows either since the classes are lumped together...
