2022 Viper runs 9s
After my Omni went down for a year or so and I got sick of it, I didn't even visit the forums very often. Now that I sold it and bought a lancer, I've been on the forums and Facebook quite often. Definitely understand about losing interest. I think a big problem with a lot of people is that their cars are perpetual projects that never run good lol. Or they split their time/ money into 10 different cars instead of focusing on 1 or 2.

I'm right there with you guys. I was diehard into the TDs for 10+yrs, but after I screwed up and got rid of my last GLH, I never could get that fire back. I tried with a TurboZ-CS, a GLH clone I built, and then went on to a string of neons. However, it never really seemed to fill the void. So I got back into old school Mopars. Came and went were a '72 Demon, '72 Dart, '70 Swinger, '50 Plymouth, '51 Plymouth, and several other project cars that never left the ground. The only one I kept is my '64 Dart and my '77 D100.
About six months back I started thinking about GLHs again and how much I'd like to have another one. Long story short, I ran across Dons GLHT in SC he was selling, and we struck a deal. I've yet to get down there to pick up the car, sorry Don, but I'm super excited to get back into the TD scene.
Here locally, there are a handful if us still into fwd Mopars. My brother in law, Marty Sabo has been carrying the torch nonstop, and we have two other friends that are into 1gn neons and TDs. I think it'd be great if we could arrange a meet, just to get together and bullshit about cars. Maybe grow it back into a community.
I went thru' that 10 car thing back in the mid-'90s. 8 under roof and still had two out in the elements? Picture if you will, a one eyed chicken with a pecker on each side of it's head tryin' to pick up corn and you'll have an idea of all the wasted motion and the chicken still was starvin' to death. Down to Three now including the D.D. and life is much better and way more calm. BTW vntned, What part of the planet do you call home? Just tryin' to figure out how far away from Wilmington the party will be, Jer
Little town called Gibsonville, just east of Greensboro.
How did I miss this thread, it's about NC and TD's that don't run. I got both of these these covered
One of my friend is 15 minutes away from Concord, if want i will contact him regarding that?
I'm having a mini-meet in Spartanburg SC on the morning of July 4th, if anyone is interested in coming by.
