Howdy Ya'll

Well I am one of 'the others' and thought I would finally check in to see what is going on over here in 300 land. I own an 05 Midnite Blue (the best color by the way) Magnum SXT and am a very active member of lxforums.com . I recently assisted the 'Great Hemee' and Fatchance with the Oct 15 MnG. Probably won't see too many posts from me here...but ya never know.

And here's a tidbit about me....I am 30 yrs old, have owned more cars than I can count but the most memorable are my 69 Charger, 80 Chrysler Newport and now my Maggie. The ones I regret...70 AMC Gremlin..POS!! and my Chevy Luv.eww. I am an OIF Combat Veteran awarded the Purple Heart and born an raised in the great northwest. I enjoy good people and good BEER! with a very low tolerance for drama and BS!

My ride, well I bought her in June, actually went looking for a Nissan Titan, but got the ol bait n switch and walked out, couldn't seem to get out of the damn dealer circle and had to pee, so ended up at the chrsler, jeep Dodge dealership and whaddya know, bought a Magnum. I thought about the 300, even test drove one, but the Magnum caught my fancy and now she's my baby. I'll spare the details on the mods, you can read them in my sig, I plan on doing a whole lot more but the next will be KW Variant 2 Coilovers....pending my test drive in Fat's car.. John lets get together.

I look forward to meeting all of you again (those that I met at the MnG) and can't wait to see how we can outdo ourselves for the next MnG!

Hemee, I won't settle for less than 200 cars at the next one!!

Thanks again,

Thats right, Hancock 275/45/20. The first size I was going to go with was 255's but after seeing them on a friends ride I wanted a 'meatier' tire, so went with the 275's, i could've gone as big as 285's before running into any real problems but that is just too damn big for a daily driver and $$$. I thought I had a before and after pic but apparently after looking through my photos I don't. I will take a pic of the 'meatiness' for you later on.

Big welcome to sweeper6, exalted member of "the Committee".
Don't be a stranger Jason... and as for the magic number, John wants to go for 300 so how about we compromise and target 250? Come springtime... everyone should be ready to get back out there and have some fun
