Default Saw my first Challenger.......SE!

The other night I decided on my way home; I decided to drive through the new Dewey Dodge-Jeep dealership (Ankeny, IA) after they closed for the night. My wife and I looked at Journey's; which she loves, and I looked at the R/T Nitro....Then I look over at the front of the building and there it is.....The new Challenger. I drive over too it and get out and look at it, and find out it's an only an SE with 3.5 V-6, but you know this thing still looks F'n sweet.....here take a look: (sorry for the pic. It was taken with my phone)

That's a color I have yet to see on the street so far. I've seen the orange ones obviously, in both SRT-8 and R/T form. There's also a blue SRT-8 Chally near the strip where I cruise with my club. I've seen one of the red ones, but it was only from a distance.

Nice pic for a phone, really sharp. What was the sticker price for that one.
Theres an R/T in the same color at the dealer I pass on the way home from work, I'm tempted to stop in for a test drive. Its sitting in front tempting and teasing me, the parts manager and I friendly and I dont think asking to take it out for a spin would be a problem.

The lot here at one of the Toledo dealers are littered with SEs... Last check one R/T and no SRTs. Glad I bought the TA, gives me a couple years to let things settle down in both the truck and Challenger area, not to mention the Camaro will be out by then helping the market turn into more of a buyers market.
