Right As Rain

The story begins with a Mercedes E350 Coupe, believe it or not! I was looking for a new car, and found a used Mercedes E350 that was priced right, looked perfect, and was ready to buy. Unfortunately for them someone in sales just sold the car to their mother. Seriously? Okay. No more dealings with that dealership. Time to move on.

Over the years I have had many different makes and models of cars. But this one had to be my keeper. So I looked and test drove a lot of different cars. None of them really fit to what I wanted. Then one day, I saw a listing for a 2012 Challenger R/T from CarMax. It was the right color, it was the right engine, it was the right interior, and everything was right about it. It was sent from out of state, to the local CarMax dealership, and I test drove it. Everything was right as rain. The car picked me. It's hard to explain.

Now I KNOW it is right. I have had no problems at all over the last few years I have owned it. Recently, I was able to upgrade from the stock wheels to Hurst 223 Stunners in chrome. Going with a staggered setup with 20x10 with 295's in the rear and 20 x9 with 255's in the front. I love it!

Betsy Is A Punisher (1).jpg

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.

HW Drift Car Pearl Purple DS1.jpg

Even standing still today’s Dodge Challenger Drift Car really looks like it’s drifting! The pearlescent paint is more like a Ghost Pearl and changes shades as you move it in the light. Experiencing this kind of paint on a full-scale vehicle is usually jaw dropping. Seeing it in this 1/64th scale Challenger by Hot Wheels is nothing short of Amazing! Capturing this car in one shade is also nothing short of impossible. With DODGE on the sides, MOPAR on the top, and M’s all around, the full body graphics will not let you down either. The silver interior with roll cage is also fantastic. It is not an interior color I have seen very often and it completes the package as it shines in any light. Go Hot Wheels! Go Mopar!! Go Dodge Challenger!!!
