Stop in for a cup of coffee
So my graphic artist friend who took the pics I posted earlier is a younger guy, 27 and recently married, that I have been a mentor for as he got his GA degree and made his way into the work world. He went along with me for the 2 hour shake down run in the GTS today after we finished up working on his car.
He's a guy who loves cars but really has no experience with old-school Mopars. He just posted this over on the Charger Forum in my GTS thread...
"Well I had the honor of taking a ride in Dave's GTS earlier today. I've always liked the idea of having an old school Mopar and now it's not just an idea, it's a very strong desire!
I love my SRT to death but if there were a good enough deal for something else, I'd have no problem trading it. There's just a lack of a deep bond. My SRT is still just very much "a car" to me.
After riding in and being around the GTS, I don't feel like I've just experienced another car...I feel like I've met someone (and a really REALLY cool someone at that). I almost feel like I've bonded with it, and it's not even mine. I can't imagine how attached I'd be if/when I find one for me down the road."
How cool is that? I makes me happy that there is hope for continuing the love for these cars if we take the time to expose the younger generations to what they are...and then just stand back and let their enthusiasm grow!
