Here’s What Made You End Up With Your Current Daily Driver

I don’t have any kids, or a wife, so I can get whatever I want. Due to a couple of really bad falls and the permanent injuries I got from them, along with all the inherited back issues I have, anything like a 4×4 truck or SUV wouldn’t be a good choice at all. I went to a car in 2007, a ‘08 Charger R/T. I wanted a Challenger, but only the SRTs were available at that time, and I couldn’t make that work, so I got the Charger. I liked the way it drove, but hated the looks. In 2010, I got my ‘10 Challenger R/T in Hemi Orange. Shockingly, it was at a local dealership. The Toledo area is a “color desert” for the most part, only loaded up cars and base models seem to be in any decent color, ones I actually would want to buy are almost always black, white, silver, or grey.

In 2018, I had sold my house, moved to an apartment, and was thinking about the next car. There was no thinking about anything else, it would be another Challenger, a Scat Pack this time, and I was going to, for only the second time since ordering my first new car in 1974, getting exactly the car I want. The local dealership had a car, perfectly equipped, in the (IMHO, it’s the worst “color” ever) Destroyer Grey. A super loaded T/A in silver could have been bought super cheaply, it had been sitting on the lot for pretty close to a year. They would have to pay me enough to get the Destroyer Grey car wrapped to take it, and I don’t really like the T/A looks, so I passed. I wanted my car in Yellow Jacket, but the closest one available was over 200 miles away, so I ended up picking my TorRed SP from a Michigan dealer about 90 miles away. I never get tired of red. My dealer here did a trade for it. That was almost 6 years ago. When it was stolen back in Feb, I never expected it back, so I had negotiated a deal for a ‘23 SP, in Plum Crazy at a decent price. Equipped exactly as my car is. My car was found, with “minor damage” that turned out to be over $12,500. Two months after it was found, I got it back. No real problems, and if I wrecked it or someone managed to get past all the hassles I’ve added to the car to make it a huge pain to steal again, there would be another SP Challenger in my parking spot, and I guarantee it wouldn’t be DG, silver, F8 Green, black, or white.
