Rock Hit Windshield

With stormy weather comes unsafe conditions.  So, I take note and drive a little slower and further away from other cars.  I was on my way to work minding my own business driving around 50 miles per hour and 3-4 car lengths behind the car in front of me.  All of a sudden the car […] READ

First Fog Lights

With fall in Sacramento comes “The Fog”.  Finally got a chance to test out the Challenger’s fog lights and they worked well.  The true test will be when its pitch black on a delta road with fog thick as can be.  The other thing I like about these cars are the new standards for HID […] READ

First Clay Bar and Wax Applied

First I washed the car with a citrus soap in warm water to remove any of the heavy contaminates then fully dried.  Once done I pulled the car into the garage and started the tedious clay bar process by doing a small section at a time using a lubricant.  After, I backed the car out […] READ

Muscle Car Red Wine Gift

Dominic at the dealership I got the Challenger from (Swift in Davis) gave me a call and mentioned the owner had a small gift for me.  Upon arriving to the dealership I was presented with a very cool bottle of wine labeled “Muscle Car Red“.  Apparently B.R. Cohn (Doobie Brothers Manager, Winery Owner, and fellow […] READ

First Oil Change

The day finally arrived and it was time to get my first oil change on the black glass beauty.  Made an appointment online with the dealership and got my first free oil change.  The appointment went by without incident and I was out-of-there in about 30-minutes.  The most interesting part about the oil change is […] READ

Spoiler-Trunk Paint Repair

I was washing my Challenger one day (aka Detailing) when I noticed a large white area between the spoiler and trunk on the right side.  I had to look closer and realized there was paint missing.  WHAT!!!  Additionally there was another small piece missing on the other side.  NO!!!  After calling the dealership I made […] READ

Passport Radar Detector Installed

I’m not a huge fan of radar detectors as one should really pay attention to they’re driving.  Not speeding is a great rule to follow but this Challenger makes it very hard to stay below the speed limit.  All you need to do is innocently shift down to pass a car and “BAM” you are […] READ

First Accident With Cement Curb

I just got done washing (aka detailing) the Challenger when the wife asked me to grab a few things at the store.  So, my son and I jumped in the Challenger and raced off to Safeway.  While turning wide into a distant parking space I clipped the corner of a cement curb.  I froze in […] READ

License Plate and Frame Installed

I knew the day would come but when the license plates arrived I was bummed.  My Challenger isn’t fresh and new anymore.  After a few minutes looking over the plates I lightened up and got the nerve to slap them on.  Gearing up for the arrival I ordered two chrome plates from High-End Motorsports.  Once […] READ

R/T Valve Stem Caps Installed

Gearing up for the license plates arrival I ordered these R/T valve stem caps along with the chrome plate frames.  Nothing special to report on receiving or installing these other than they are very light which is curtail for the pressure sensors in the stems.  I did get a comment from a co-worker who parked […] READ
