They honestly haven't even told the first 86 how much they are spending yet 
As I understand you get chosen from a lottery to be one of the first 86 to buy it, put down a $500 deposit, and you find out the details later.
We should know in a month or 2 the prices I think.

Good afternoon everyone. Gee, I don't think I ever read before of a choice between working on the car or getting hair and nails done. Just messin with you Ashley. I have lots of respect for a girl who works on cars.
I've been extra busy lately. The girls always want daddy's attention and work has been busy too. Saturday before work I was reading Mopar Collectors Guide and saw their listing for car shows. I saw a listing for a show in Davie Florida that was called the Florida Mopar Nationals. They had a website and from everything I saw it was a big show. We made a quick decision on Saturday that we would drive the four hours to Davie from Lakeland to see the show on Sunday. Susan was with her folks at the time and they asked if they could go as well. The show hours were from ten am to four pm. We left the house at six am, picked up her folks and headed south. It rained the whole way down there. We got there at about 10:30 to rain. The show was held at University Dodge. I was expecting a huge show. In that I was disappointed. There were between 50 and 100 classic cars in attendance. There were new cars mixed in so the lot looked full.there was supposed to be a swap meet set up. I saw two vendors. I bought some t-shirts for the girls. Car related of course. Maybe my girls will choose between working on the car or hair and nails. The good part of this show is that it wasn't full of Hemi Cuda's and Challengers. It was full of cars you don't normally see at shows. It had a 69 Plymouth Fury I with a slant six and the hood and a three on the tree. It looked like a fresh barn find. I also saw one 1970 Plymouth Superbird and one 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. I saw three 1965 Plymouth Fury's and a 1966 Plymouth Fury. I don't usually see any full size Dodges and Plymouths at shows let alone six at one show and half of them being my all time favorite car (1965 Plymouth Fury). I also saw an 85 Dodge Diplomat CHP cruiser in mint shape. A custom PT Cruiser, four or five 64-66 Barracuda's, and a bunch of 66-74 Dodge Chargers. I don't know if the show size was diminished because of the rain. It was nice to see all those unusual cars. I took pics but don't know how to post them. There is another show in May on the 25-27th in Cecil Ga.i may try that show then. Susan wouldn't let me do any of the driving because I had only gotten an hour of sleep. She was really tired from all the driving.

A lot of people won't take their classic/show cars out in the rain - sucks the weather was an issue as it sounded like a good show. I won't take my 03 out in the rain anymore - I just don't feel like cleaning the underneath of the car every time. That's why I try and keep my daily driver in good shape so I can take that out instead in case of inclement weather.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope everyone's having a great start to their week!
Got my roof rails on today. Took a few pics but I'm probably going to clean the Monte a little better and get some good pictures later this week as I get more time/motivation. I'm not exactly comfortable with just having them on with 3M double sided tape. May be making them permanent in the future just because right now they'd be pretty easy to rip off and I'm sure there are plenty in the area that would have no problem stealing them. Sucks that I even have to think about something like that but oh well. Also removed the Vikings decal seeing how I had another incident with a die-hard Packer fan earlier today. Not worth someone vandalizing it or whatever so.. Definitely won't be parking it outside at night anymore, haven't had the best luck lately.
