DES (Tracker1) is from Newfoundland as am I. We have had to be extra polite over the years until someone discovered it was cool to be from Newfoundland now we are just polite like 99.99999% of all Canadians.

With Apologies to NJSteve on behalf of 87gn.

Being from the rudeness capital of Planet Earth, we take rudeness to Olympian heights, here in Joysey. Even the New Yorkers are merely considered amateurs at the fine art.

Did you know that in New Jersey you can deduct the cost of post-graduate courses in advanced full-contact rudeness training, off of your tax returns if it is directly related to your employment in this state? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] It's considered mandatory training for all DMV workers here.

Thanks guys! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Steve...your Charger flat out rocks.

Now, if Rick can convince his wife to work thousands of hours overtime, Rick can have the car of his dreams!

Good luck with the sale...you've been a great caretaker of the car [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Every day I remind her of the importance of working all of that overtime at Arrowhead Hospital so she can buy this Charger for us. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I just sold the 72 Trans Am. So now if anyone is interested in the Charger, I am happy to talk about price.

If I sell the Charger then I really can find something interesting as the next project...and send the daughter to college, too. If she REALLY has her heart set on going. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I took her out of hibernation the other day while out in the garage working on the new Firebird project.

Very scary (as usual). Hadn't been run since the MCACN show last November. I pumped the gas pedal once, turned the key and within 1/2 a revolution she started up and was running. She definitely wants to be out there hunting prey! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: 70 HEMI Charger R/T-SE 4spd, the only red one made
 

As part of my mid-winter routine I started all the cars today and drove them around a few miles. I got the Charger running. As usual, I just hooked the battery up, let the electric fuel pump fill the bowls, and then turned the key. She started on the first crank.

I topped off the air in the tires- after a year they all lost exactly 9 psi each. Went for a slow drive on the 40 year old tires which felt like I was driving a shopping cart. Boy, I forgot how much nicer these things ride better on radials.

Stills idles and runs very nicely. She is quite &quot;peppy&quot;, a term my Gramma used to say about her 1964, 426-powered Dodge. There's nothing like a hemi with headers. It sounds like a 1970's SuperStocker. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
