The day after this glorious machine came home with a mere 32k miles! Even though my parents told me the digital compas wasn't a TV, I still thought it was!


Who knew then how much of my life this car would become? :)

That's my brother and I in the picture.

Mom found this cleaning out their closet yesterday, I had to share.

^ x2! I always enjoy seeing those old pics that bring back the memories/nostalgia of a guy and his car.

Looks like a pre-84. 84-87 Chargers/Turismos/Dusters didn't have the rear sail windows, just the smaller ones behind the doors. I'll go on a limb though and say it has the 2.2 package. (In a former life I used to be an L-body enthusiast ;) )

Haha, thanks guys! Hard to believe though, the '93 will be crossing 200k on our way back from the Michigan Meet on Monday. :)

And that blue car in the background is an '82 Omni. And Brad nailed the 2.2L, that thing just wouldn't die. It was my grandmothers car and dad was eventually given it and he used it as a beater for work. I don't remember it really, I just remember a blue car and the interior was falling apart.
