Finally some new pictures

These were from about a month ago, I decided to go to the Hallmark across from my old Dodge dealer, Weber Dodge. Before I did, I snapped some pictures out in front of the shuttered dealer (Walter is still trying to get rid of the building, still being rented to construction company). After the pictures in front of the dealer, and many more in the redeveloping Hingham Shipyard, I go across the street to find the Hallmark was gone!!! :banghead:

This picture is on my desktop.


A shot of the former showroom:


Next 2 are similar angles of pictures taken 8/2/07:




This darkening shot is in the new Commuter Boat parking lot constructed over a year and a half ago, facing in the direction of Lincoln Street (Rt. 3A)


This one is next to one of the dealer's lots. The building in the top left of the picture is the former Shaw Saab, they moved shortly after we moved into the new facility. It is now R&R Marine, which used to be where this parking lot is now. To the right was Weber's employee parking.

Yeah, sure. It's been almost 4 months, and you never showed the 300SRT stuff you put on.

Update: I did polish and wax the R/T, I still have to clean the tar and dirt off of the rockers so I can do those. I got my uncle's 66 T-Bird to get painted after finding a hood for it. He just wants to paint the hood, I want to repaint most of the car and fix the rockers. I got a ton of cleaning to do inside of my uncle's 64 T-Bird, as some mice decided to squat in it for the past few months. Then I got my yard to clean up, I need to go through my mother's car and make sure it's safe... and you get the idea.

After some consideration I've decided to add the OEM Sirius Satellite Radio. I guess I'm sick of the Starmate sticking out from the dash and having to reach over to change stations. The only thing I don't like about it is drilling my roof for the antenna. Got a lead on a used module, so all I'll have to buy new is the install kit and an antenna, and not spend $400 on the module.

A Last Hurrah, Mass Cruisers Cruise night, October 20th at Patriot Place (retail center connected to Gillette Stadium), sponsored by Bass Pro Shops:





Trade negotiated, will be gone by the end of this week. It's been a great almost 5 years with this car.

It's gone. I left the Daytona Exhaust on, I'll be going a different direction on the 2011 R/T AWD I just bought. I removed the Underhood Light and wiring, Sirius Antenna, Panavise dash bracket, under dash courtesy lights, the SRT Airbox, and the wheel locks. Not sure if any of these will end up on the new car, the Sirius and Panavise definetely won't be, the car already has Sirius.

Update:

As of yesterday, this car is still for sale at Good Brothers Dodge. They started at $19,995. Almost a month ago they dropped a $1,000 off of that. This week, the price is $17,995. Because it is 5 model years old, it wasn't certified. It only has 17,000 mi. and was well taken care of.
