Had to go to a wedding in Kelowna over the weekend and decided to take the SRT. What an awesome vehicle to drive in the mountains. When you get behind a stack of cars and motorhomes where everyone is scared to pass, it's NO problem to drop a couple of gears and pass 8 -12 vehicles at once.
What a great trip. The radar detector saved my ass a few times, sure glad I had it.
Once I got there it was amazing that no-one had even heard of these trucks.
Everyone thought I built it.
My Buddy has 2 classic Mopars, a 70 RR 440 4-spd, and a 70 Hemi Challenger convertible. And the truck probably had just as much attention as the classics. One girl I met even gave it the nickname "Erection on Wheels" LOL.

But, I do have just the slightest hint of a vibration at about 120km/hr. I guess it's time to try and re-balance the tires. If that doesn't do it I guess it's time to ditch the Pirelli's.
 
That's a long drive! I'm going to Saskatoon at the end of there month for there big cruise night and car show... It's three hours away and I'm probably going to trailer it. Haha

What? Why not drive it? They are awesome to drive! They are built to drive! Not driving an SRT is like having a HOT girlfriend and not doin' her to save her for the next guy!!!!
 
Hahaha Alright you've convinced me... I'll drive it.

Anybody else around here going to stoon? The cruise night is unreal.

Or anybody ever gone?

Back in high school there was a bunch of us that used to go to the car show in Radium every year. It was such a good time, until we were banned from the campsite in Invermere and then wrote of a 71 Chevelle by jumping it 6 feet in the air (no b.s. we even filmed it).
