Monday: Car of the Day! 1969 Dodge Charger [R/T]

The '69 Charger R/T so happens to be my favorite car of all time... a car that I hope to own someday. I'm a big Mopar fanatic and especially for Dodge muscle cars.

The '69 Charger was brought up from the previous '68 with a more stock-car based style. The '69 Charger Daytona with the high spoiler and unique nose cone was in a lot of stock car racing at the time. (Pictured Below)

Example of the stock-car version
The '69 Charger had essentially the same body style as the Daytona except differing in the front nose cone. The '69 Charger boasted a 425 horsepower, Over-Head Valve V8 @ 5,000 RPM's and 490 torques for 4,000 RPM's. The standard base price at the time was around $4,641. (Gawd, I'd kill to get one that cheap now!) They typically were around 3,670 pounds in weight. The 0-60 speed was 5.7 seconds and a quarter mile was estimated at 13.48 seconds at 109 mph.

What a lot of people probably don't realize, is that the Charger was notoriously recognized from the TV show Dukes of Hazzard in which an orange '69 with a confederate flag on top was featured. The car was also known as The General Lee in the show..

 My reasons for loving this car so much is because I enjoy the look of it. It's got a very mean looking and powerful body style. Also they come with a 425 V8, I mean c'mon.... who wouldn't want to drive something that beastly? :P I just hope to own one someday that looks much like this one except lime green or Plum Crazy Purple (A mopar signature color)


I think the first Car Of The Day post went rather successful. Hope you enjoyed it. Any questions or comments are of course appreciated. :)

Bringing back my blog!!

So I've realized that I really miss doing my blog... I figured out a way to remember to do it on my scheduled days, I set an alarm for 10 pm. I'm going to be doing my posts the night before the scheduled day. So for example, on Monday I'm changing up that day to a car of the day post instead of skateboarding because I love cars, and feel that it'd be easy to pick a car every Monday to write about. The reason for replacing skateboarding is because the skate things I post, most skaters probably already know. Anyways, I'll be doing the Monday post on Sunday night. It's easier to manage that way.

I've got lots to write about for life, LDR, and other shiznat so stay tuned! :) It'll be nice to be back.. ^-^

Have a pretty gnarly "welcome back to my blog" picture.. :P
