What can I say? Everybody needs a "junker", right?

Well, I took my junker into town to replace a flattened front tire - it drove over a large, erm, spike, and was on the donut.

I took it to a good friend who works for a tire/alignment company, who set the new (used) tire in the back, and realigned the clutter/cluddermobile. It drove!

Being used to the donut, I knew I had to gun it to get up to 15, then into second. Not so with a real tire - it started at about 30, then kicked back at about 37.

Enter the Challenger. He gunned that hemi so damn hard that I felt it in the junker - eventually, at about 40, he overtook me, until I hit third.

I shouted "Hey, I've got a new tire, what's your problem?", and that was the end of the race. I put on the blinker, and let him pull ahead as he flipped me the bird.

If I was in my SAAB, I'd never let a hemi ahead of me. :lol::lol::lol:

(Edit: It may have been an '06 or an '07.. who cares about the recent body changes? My 9-5 hasn't had any since '06!)

I think he must mean the Charger.

I just saw my first Challenger on the road the other day. We were in my cousins 70 Challenger and got the guy to pull over so we could check it out. I really, really dig it. The interior could definitely be better but it was still comfortable to sit in and didn't feel as cheap as, say, a Taurus or something. It was an SRT in Hemi Orange with the hood stripe delete and the 6MT... exactly the one I would want.

We then proceeded to absolutely blow his fucking doors off when he wanted to race, but that was totally expected(by us, at least).
