- 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak B5 Blue
Hey Everyone,
I finally entered the SRT club this year with the purchase of a 2023 Challenger HCJB, A8 NB, in one of my favorite colors, B5 Blue! I have loved muscle cars since I learned to drive in the 80's, but couldn't afford one back then. I got a private pilot license in 2003. I haven't owned a plane yet, just rented them. The thing about flying is you need BOTH time AND money to do it. I have only been able to achieve at best, one of those for a short time. I finally figured out that to drive a nice car you really just need one of them for a minute. Driving a car like the SRT Challenger around is an amazing experience. I am really happy I got one of the last call versions of the SRT cars. It is a serene experience to drive a car like this.
It took a while to get through the break-in period as a "weekend warrior". I started picking a day every now and then to drive it to work. Then it started to be a day a week, or maybe even two. Now, for the last three weeks my daily driving pickup has been at the dealer for a warranty issue. There is no expected resolution until next month. I have to say that daily driving the Hellcat is not that bad, and I am not that upset about having to do it for a few weeks. I will survive the truck situation and have one again. The question now is, when that day comes, which one is the daily driver?
Anyway, I have been lurking on this forum for a few months, and thought I should finally introduce myself. Just searching here I have found answers to a lot of questions. There are a lot of members here who seem very helpful and responsive. I appreciate that.
