Tried to vote, but you need a FB to do so . Sorry. Looking through the entries, though, yours was definitely worth the vote.

Last week dodge's challenger facebook page selected my car as ride of the week...not sure who submitted my photo or if they found it...but that was pretty cool. Got over 8500 likes.

Anyway, no real updates...finally gave the car a much needed bath...still need to find time for a real detail.

Also realized I finally broke 13,000 on the odo.

There's no way not to love that car...if you do. You're either just a mopar hater, or don't truly love cars.

I don't love it..... but mainly because I don't have it.

Congrats. I'd say it's as much the car as the photography.

Beautiful car!

Back in the day, was Plum Crazy a color on Challengers or Chargers, or both?

Challengers yes...Cudas had it as well, but a different name/purple.

I'm not sure about the Chargers.

Probably my favorite color combo on any Challenger I've seen yet.

Looks great, man.

Not too much of a mod. Found a good on an upgraded REN headunit. Its a 20GB Mygig REN so I can use my existing Sirius (dont subscribe but whatever) U-Connect BT and voice command, and ipod connection.

I was never bothered by the stock headunit I had...but I kind of always wanted the touchscreen. Just adds a slight upgraded feel.

Install was simple, less than 20 minutes.

Now, I just to upload some better screen pics, and some music.

Wow, I wasn't completely sold on the purple when you first did it but that rolling shot makes it look incredible, nice choice.

Also, the HU is a huge improvement and makes the stack look so much more modern. Cool you could swap it out that easily.

Finally got off my butt and tried to get a good audio recording...sadly I need to go out with a pro sound recordist...it sounds all right...but its too hot (blown out), especially on the free way run...but you still get a good idea.

go pro and nikon d800. Audio was a shotgun mic going to an external audio recorder with sound sunk up in editing. Should have backed off the levels a little more. But thanks
