Home Again, Home Again

The Chrysler show was great! There was an incredible turnout with a ton of fantastic cars.

• I beat my husband on the tire-change challenge at the Mopar booth!
  
• Got to sit in a Barracuda convertible!
• Test-drove three new cars: Chrysler Crossfire coupe, Dodge Caliber, and Charger R/T. Crossfire was disappointing, Caliber looked neat but felt cheap (hey, base price is just over 13 grand after all), and the Charger was fun but so far removed from the original that it was like driving a luxury family sedan, not a hot-rod.
  
• Saw Bill Goldberg again. He was cool as usual. His car was sweet too. Thanks BG!
• Special thanks to the folks at More Than Tires. We bought new rubber at the show and they installed our tires at lunchtime on a Sunday, down the road at their shop.
  
• The new Challenger concept reality was on display. If only they'd given the same old-school look to the new Charger! The Challenger is, simply put, done right. Very impressive.
• I'm still undecided on the concept Imperial. It's... different.
• My brother wouldn't let me take any pictures of him. He said to take a pic of the cutaway turbo-diesel engine instead and stated that it was what his brain looked like. I think we ate more in two days than he usually does, but we "warned" him that food was high on our to-do list so he went along with it. Nobody comes home hungry on our trips!
  
• As usual, we met some great folks and saw some spectacular vehicles. Never seen so many Hemis in one place! We had a dream of hearing them all fire up at once... wouldn't that just be the most incredible thing ever?!?

Some photos coming soon!
