Just saying hi
Hi all,
Just thought I would leave a message to say hi and, am I glad I found you!
I am an Englishman that has just moved to the USA and am finding my way about. I moved to the Atlanta area and am having a great time. When I moved here I needed a car so went shopping and found a Dodge dealer. The car I bought was a brand new Charger, Daytona addition. 5.7L Hemi with 355HP. Then I went out to find somewhere to ride my mountain bike. It didn't take long to find that the charger looked silly with a bike rack on the back and that 33HP was not all it was cracked up to be. This is when I fell in love.
I had owned the Charger for about 4 months and wanted to take it back. I was going into the dealer to make some enquires when I saw my love. There she was, she was a big girl but hey, what can I say, some people don't like em big but for me it was love at first sight. A 2005 SRT10. I knew what a Viper was but I had know idea about the SRT10, Oh man was I in for a treat.
I am a self confessed petrol head and have had many cars in the UK including a classic 1983 Porsche 911sc, I had had some track time and took part in semi serious kart racing for about 3 years and was sad to give it up to move to the USA but it had to be done.
I have now owned my SRT10 for about 1 week and am in awe of it, this truck is it for me. I have no mods as yet but I expect the impending sale of my house in the UK will help me to finance a new exhaust, if not a few more treats. I paid 35K for my truck with 8.3K on the clock just 4 days ago am well happy.
As fas as gas consumption goes I am happy too. I get about 14MPG high way and about 9 City. Right now it's about $2.20 per gallon in ATL which isn't bad when you consider 4 months ago in the UK I was paying about $9.00 per gallon. In my deal I've managed to get the dealer to throw in a new set of tyres as I found vibration on the test drive. Just as well really because upon reading this forum I see it is a bit of a known issue with the Pirrelli's. Once they are on I expect all will be well. I am just waiting for the dealer to get them in.
Well I just wanted to say hi and give you a little back groud on the Englishman that will be hanging around now.
Any hints and tips on my new truck would be most welcome.
Cheers
English,
