Charger Discussion / Re: What has been your longest...

Good topic Kern, been thinking about this as my car will be ready to drive in a few days. In my 20's I drove it as just a car (cool car) didn't hesitate to do long drives at all. I drove with a non-working fuel gauge, bald tires, front end issues, etc. Now the car is basically going to be all new and I am a little concerned. I'm now in my late 50's so lets see.

My uncle introduced me to one of his old friends that had a 68 Charger back in the 80's.  This was the only pic he had of it.  Check out those side pipes!!

The furthest I drove my car was about a 150 mile round trip from NE Mass down to Rhode Island for a Mopar only show. That was over 20 years ago before I rebuilt the car.

I was in my late 20s at the time and should have known better to drive all the way there with no spare tire and then decide it was a good idea to enter a burnout contest.. luckily I didnt win, that guy blew a tire off 

I finished the resto on my Charger around 2018 and have put less than 2k miles on it since then. I drive it alot, just not very far.

My Charger acts as my therapist at times. I work from home and sometimes when the stress level is at 11, Ill go for a quick spin around town, do a couple of 1 -2 shifts, get sideways a bit and all is right in the world again.

It is not as valuable as a Superbird or other Chargers on this site but It still have no worries taking it on errands, getting my haircut, going to Home Depot or whatever. I built this car TO drive it, not to bring to shows and sit next to it in a chair.

For me, the longest trip was 1,400+ miles round trip from Boston to the Chrysler Proving Grounds & back. The second longest was from Boston to Butler PA & back which was over 1,100 miles. But those trips were decades ago.

40 years ago, I drove my 68 hemi Charger all over the place including from MA to the Chrysler Proving Grounds twice. Back then, early 80's cars were no more comfortable than 60's cars and I can't imagine making that trip today in the middle of the summer with no a/c, hot vinyl seats, wind blast (from all the windows open), crappy radio, etc.

The ease and comfort of driving new cars has spoiled us all and these old cars are more relegated mainly for local cruising, not distant cruising. Worrying about the value is a concern, but not as big of a concern for me. With a new car, you start it up and put it in gear just like that in comfort. Such is not the case with an older car. Buyt, older cars are fun in their own way and the cool factor is something that new cars don't have.

I was out in mine today. It was only a 12 mile drive but I peeled out, hugged the curves, rowed through the gears and loved every moment of it.
I see no point of a car that just sits and doesn't get driven.
