I used to have a Dodge Avenger. That was my dream car and I did some nice graphics on it. Everyone always complimented me on it, but I always drooled over the Challenger. For me though it was an out of reach car. Last August a 19 year old ran a stop sign and my Avenger ended up being totaled. For me it was just a car and no one was hurt, but still, she was my baby. The insurance company paid out for the car what I owed plus a nice amount more. Everyone kept telling me go for it, go get a Challenger, but I just didn't see how I could. If I was going to do it, it had to be white. I am a graphic designer and own Sick Genius Designs (.com) and knew what I could do with a white base to work on. So I searched and found a white 2010 Challenger for sale at a local dealership. Went and test drove it and fell in love ! The feeling, the power, the way she handled in the curves and lets not forget ... the way other guys looked at me while I was driving it, with the same expression I always had when I saw one. The dealer was great. He was able to get me in the car for less of a payment then I was making for the Avenger ! And that was that. I joined the ranks of Dodge Challenger Owners. Starting with a white car the graphics went on little by little. In June, 2017 we took 1st in class at the CNY Mopar Madness show. WE WON ! Total this year we have done 5 shows and trophied in 3 of them, proving that I know how to do graphics. Every day when I walk outside and see Betsy (that's her name) sitting in the driveway, I smile. No matter how bad work is she is there waiting for me after, and I smile. I met up with another Challenger owner and we decided to start our own group. Originally we were called Challenger Addicts of CNY, but have grown the group to over 200 members and decided it was time to expand. We have changed the name to CNY Mopar Muscle, based out of Syracuse NY we are open for all Challenger, Charger and classic Mopar Muscle owners and their spouses/significant others. It is hard to say what my Challenger means to me, but since I got her I have been going out and doing things like cruises and shows. I have made so many new friends that have become close like family. It really changed my life in so many good ways.

Her Name Is Red Velvet
Challenger of the Day
In the beginning of 2010 I was deployed to Iraq. My life turned upside down when my wife at the time decided to check out of our relationship. I remarried and had a few children. My new wife has seen my struggles to climb back to the top after being low.
In February 2017 we celebrated 6 years of marriage. In honor of all my hard work and dedication, she decided to surprise me with a trip to a local dealer, and what was sitting there.
This is the car I always dreamed of having no matter what trim. Redline red...R/T classic with 22,000 miles. Her name is red velvet. One because I love the cake, 2 because my license plate says ANT and it is the same color as the red velvet ant. People break their necks looking at her, and all I can do is thank my wife. I feel like they are seeing me when they look at this beautiful Challenger and all the success I've had after the nightmare I've experienced. Out of 650 colors built in this year, I have the only one in the surrounding cities. Veteran owned, veteran operated. Proud to be a dodge owner.

Black Beauty Hellcat
Challenger of the Day
I started with a pitch black 2011 Challenger RT with the 6 speed Tremec !!! I had it 3 weeks and traded it for a sparkle black 2011 SRT 8 Challenger auto 5 speed !!! I went to the SRT Experience at Daytona and fell in love ️ with track days and went to 1 track day at Daytona, 1 track day at Sebring, 4 track days at PBIR, and 4 track days at Homestead Motor Speedway !!! I bought a 2016 HellCat last summer in August. I was going to just get another SRT 8 or a Scat Pack but my friend Eddie insisted that I drive his pitch black Challenger HellCat and my Buddy Bill had me try his Charger HellCat !!! Both were Stupid Fast and I had to have the Challenger !!! It is the Ultimate Muscle Car and I am ecstatic with its performance !!! My friends ask me what I've done to it and I answer It needs nothing !!! It is the ultimate 2 door Family Car that goes 200 mph, does the quarter in 10.65 seconds with Mickey Thompson drag radials, and 0-60 in 3.5 sec !!! And I love the wine of the supercharger, the nostalgic look and the sound of the exhaust !!! I am very happy with my HellCat which is affectionately named #BlackBeautyHellCat!
