Enjoy the bike, ya gotta feel happy around your wheels and you will now.

Yeah, I wouldn't have met ya brother, if it wasn't for the ride.... to think, cars built the same week, friends made only ten minutes away. Pretty damn cool.

Yeah, me too Ron. I wish I could have run the Bee at Mission. (Still could happen one day... LOL!)

Sure is for me. Wasn't easy. If I had the cash... Oh what I would have done to that car! Might look a bit like yours in fact. LOL!

Sad to see it go, at least its still on the forum. And welcome back to the 2 wheeled club!

Christine is evil. That was enough for me. Speaking of the 666, I kissed the back of a Cadillac in the rain and cracked the original fascia. The replacement I got from Adam at Eastway was manufactured on 6/6/06 as written on the back of it. It's not a coincidence. Muhahahaha.....

Also, sort of like Greg mentioned, you guys' Magnums gave me the opportunity to meet some real cool friends.

Btw, nice wheels.

Jon, If I win a lottery, the first thing I'll be doing is buying another SRT8 Magnum. And I will turn it in to a fire breathing beast with a big friggen blower punched through the hood. (It'll be gloss black, NO metallic and will have a 2007 Superbee interior. The entire car will be very black. So black it looks wet. )

Some awesome memories in those shots. Wasn't easy to decide this, it truly took years. Not easy to step out of the SRT8 Magnum clan.

Yup. You do.

Can I drive it?

**oakcharger** · 06-17-2012, 10:19 AM

Everything happens for a reason, car has gone too a great home...

**Jaak** · 06-17-2012, 10:37 AM

Digging through files on the computer I found some fun from over the years...

If I only had the money...

Did you know you can buy custom postage stamps?

Complete with the dealer installed crooked plate.

Those poor Mustang owners at Cayuga. "You running nitrous, or a blower?" "Nope, normally aspirated!"

**Jaak** · 06-17-2012, 10:44 AM

How I loved her best....

Heh, eat your heart out!

Seriously, I'll bet that was a tough decision. But it sounds like it was time...

**Jaak** · 06-17-2012, 11:16 AM

Yup.

OK, time to move on and party it up!

**mlb12** · 06-17-2012, 12:06 PM

Do you have some parts off Christine that I can buy Jim? Oh.........ummmmmm, yeah, right!!!

Seriously though, it was a fun run for you and everyone close to you, while it lasted, but now on to bigger and better things with the Bee and the 300, and the 2-wheeler(have you got training wheels for it).

Congrats Jaak (sort of I guess) - although not a huuge fan of the Maggies I can still apprecate them, and having never seen yours, from the pics, that was a fine specimen - what was under the hood of yours, it looked really damn nice!

You realize this is a photoshop, right..?

**Jaak** · 06-17-2012, 07:21 PM

Yeah, I was dreaming one day... It is my car, but the blower is chopped on.

**Fargo59** · 06-17-2012, 07:27 PM

i remember that conversation...
i might even have the emails saved still. lol

**Jaak** · 06-17-2012, 10:06 PM

I lost a ton of that stuff with a computer crash... :( Pretty well wiped out all the emails I had from before late last year I think.

**hemiphil** · 06-17-2012, 11:29 PM

Tony's got a nice little collection of MSRT's happening doesn't he? Sorry you had to let a car go that gave you so many great memories James, but you've still got some great toys in the garage!

I know this one's not your fastest pass in Christine...but you showed the SS who was boss!

Congrats Tony...see you at the track!
