I always thought it was corny and not true how you guys said that people give the thumbs up but its happened to me twice now
One awkward thing that happened is that I was at the barbers and one of em says"is that a 5.0 or a v6?" I said a v6 and he got sad im like ok ... theyre pretty beefy now anyway and he didnt say anything. My barber then said " yeah no point in having 420 horses on a daily anyway"
The guy who tinted my car did not believe me it was a v6 because of how it sounds so I had to reassure him, same with the guy next to me in a challenger srt8. Goes to show these v6s are pretty beefy. If they weren't like the 05-10s I woulda gotten the v8 instead.

I had a guy drive up to my 12 Boss and say he thought it was a Charger when he first saw it. He quickly was aware I was insulted but amused! I tried to explain the car but it was futile. Actions speak louder than words and I could have given him a ride but my seats are not Scotchguarded.

I was at my 20 year high school reunion after party and I asked my high school dream girl out for a bite to eat after it ended. While in the parking structure a couple of high school kids in a new camaro stopped behind me while I was inline for the parking structure exit.
They were screaming sick 5.0. Rev it! Rev it! She asked me if I would have done a burn out if she wasn't there. I sheepishly said yes. At that moment, I realized why she never dated me. I am so not a rebel.

My girlfriend grandfather always brings it up at dinners and says that he used to have a stock charger to run fifteens in a 1/4 mile and it would prolly beat me. I have still yet to tell him I have went 12.90s on street tires.
In my town, there's nothing but rednecks. Almost every time I go out "do a burnout!!!", "rev it up!!"
This car seems to attract two kinds of people. Rednecks, little kids who can't control there physical emotions haha!

First drive
When I brought the Ronaele home it was about 10PM. It has long tubes, high flow cats, 1 resonator and a 3" side exhaust. Anyway it was loud getting in the garage. The next day my neighbor tells me his wife thought people were drag racing on our street and she wanred to call the police. I showed him the car . He went home and told his wife"no problem, Chuck has a new toy.'

I was loading some 3x5 foot sheets of backer board into my trunk on day when some guy comes up and sayz no way that will fit in there NO Way. I said heck yea you should see some of the stuff I have crammed in here. He was impressed I got 6 sheets of that stuff in there. He complemented on how nice my car looked and went on his way. So I make my way to the drivers seat when another guy walks up and asked about my rims. He compliments me on my rims and asks about them and proceeds to tell me he has a 2012 and has been looking for rims for a while. We make small talk for a short while and he headed into the store. good stuff all the way around.

Being the Wifey's car I only get to drive it a little.
But, I drove it to Starbuck's, and one of the regulars said, "I guess your Wife can out run you and your Corvette now". He may be right.......

Lmao!! Well hope it works out with the girl ha. Have people all the time ask me if it's blueprinted, they always assume because I have cams that I must have a blower or turbos or something. I always get the "stare" where they don't know what face to make so they just look with a weird "I think I farted" grin in their face.

Have yet to have anything but complements no matter what age people are! Refreshing to see that people appreciate true American Muscle! Believe it or not, every ricer I've come across actually loves my car and has never said anything negative!!

Beautiful Country where you're at! Hey man thanks for the complements. And furthermore, you have one BA Ride yourself! Very clean! Love the color, wheels, and hood you got! How much HP are you running? Mine was just on the Dyno and it turned out 571 at the RW! Need to to some mods on the suspension though. I can't even really hammer on it w/o ridiculous hop! SUCKS!! Not sure what I really want to go with yet. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
