Good friends of ours just love bright colors like that.
His - New style Charger in Plum Hers - New style Wrangler UL in lime green
I'm not usually a fan of those types of colors, but the orange works on the Charger.
Man, some of the car colors out there makes a sain guy wonder sometimes. I've almost accepted and have come to expect that goldish green on Soul's already.
As for that lime green, the only place that color works is on limes.

I had a guy spray my asphalt driveway years ago. Looked absolutely brand new for a few years. It's a little grey-ish again. I'll probably do it myself this time with the stuff from Lowes/HD
My driveway was ripped up today. We are having them lengthen and widen it while they are at it. 21 feet wide and I believe something like 130 feet long.

That project is on our list. Our driveway needed to be ripped up when we moved in. That was 9 years ago.

You could paint numbers at either end and use it as an RC Airplane runway - or for drones.
I’m sitting at around 800 miles on my FLX odo. Good job!!!!!
I was able to put about 850 miles on it by the time school started for the kids (about four weeks ago). Since I am the one who takes my daughter to school, riding after that became more challenging. Thankfully, she was willing to try riding to school a couple days a week, and she has really taken to it, so I'm able to at least put a few rides into the week. On mornings when I take her, the first twelve miles (the ones with all the hills!) I do without any electric assist - I just have the processor on to log the miles and speeds. After I drop her off, I punch the assist and burn down the six miles or so to my office as quickly as possible.
After twelve miles without any assist, and carrying all of the gear (her backpack, etc., and my clothes for the day), using the assist feels so amazing.

Far be it from me to put anything in his head but after his road is finished and lines and numbers have been painted, he could get his friends and neighbor's together on weekends for the @qbrozen 130.

Maybe a punch coming in a couple of hours. Just waiting for dealership owner to send me a video and call for my CC.
On hold till tomorrow. Guy was being a bit sketchy about the undercarriage so I was about to just give up and move to choice 2, but we spoke again tonight and he promises to get me a vid of it first thing. He is an hour behind me though.

They gave me a couple of options for the driveway, going with the cheaper one as I think it'll give me the results I'm looking for. At the very least, it will help with the curb appeal. The garage has been done by me three times already and looks really really bad. Having it look as good as my daughter's in her new house is something I've wanted for a long time. And the options I was shown with different colors looks really nice. Our moving plans, or my plan, has been derailed a bit as the other half isn't ready to make any kind of move at this time. Think it's really because daughter #2 is living and working in South Miami. I think she's on board to try to transfer to a nonprofit hospital in the Orlando area and if I can really get that to happen, should make it much easier to get the wife out of South Florida. Even if I could get her to go somewhere on the I-4 corridor in Central Florida, that could work. Anything under 2 hours should work but any place we go, I'd prefer new construction again. Our condo was a new build as was the current casa, we just prefer new, just like with our vehicles. And as long as I can get around $400K for the current shack and can buy something new for under $300K, I'm in. Want to be able to bank at least $100K to add to our bank accounts plus have a nice 3/2 or 3/3. Just need one guest room should anyone want to sleep over. Hopefully my plans will come to fruition I one day down the road. So any little things we can do now to help show off our current home will be $ well spent I'm hoping. My time frame is between now and 2022. Hopefully sooner but this is gonna take some time, gonna take some precious time!!

Brave. so this is going to be another unit bought on faith, and you won't see it until it shows up in the driveway? Or going out to drive it home?
Yup. Faith. I know, I know. But they are damned impossible to find here.
Alright, so a bit of a conundrum. Wife was giving me a hard time last night that is giving me 2nd thoughts. Here are my choices.
1. 2006 SRT8. 77k miles. Not my first color choice. Has been cosmetically modified in an unpleasant way so I would have to spruce it up a bit. Price is basically auction value for a clean stock example. About $13.5k all said and done. Looking forward 18 mos, I think I’d be out maybe $3500 for the experience. 2. 2008 R/T Daytona. 75k miles. My first color choice. All stock and unmolested. Price is fair retail. About $11.5k. I’d project maybe $3500 drop here as well.
Last night, I was leaning SRT just to have the quicker and more desirable vehicle. This morn, I’m leaning RT for comfort, color, immediate $2k savings, and no de-modding needed. It is a tough choice.

My anecdotal experience is you never know whether the modifications were done professionally or slapped together and you've already expressed dissatisfaction. Personally I would go with the 100% stock example, it doesn't need to go under the knife after taking delivery and if you need more speed you could always take the $2K and add some go fast parts, right?

All logic points toward the R/T. I agree that unmolested with less power and the prospect of less headaches seems like the way to go here. $2k is a nice budget for some sticky tires and a set of sway bars.

now i'm still debating on SUV vs pickup as the other vehicle. Pickup sucks when doing something like carrying all our karate gear, but obviously great to have when carrying stuff you don't want dirtying up the minivan's carpet.

LOL. Well, before reading tjc's vote, I made the decision, made the call, and made the deal.
Well, After seeing the links... I have to say I see why you hesitated on the SRT. Lots to change on that one to make it look good. Those wheels, UGH.
Congrats.
I could probably live with the other stuff, at least for a while, but the wheels are just so horrible. That would be a $2K deduct right there. The red exterior and two-tone interior are great.
Although... Aside from the graphics, the exterior on the other car is good, too.

All 4 of us train, so 4 duffel bags. No cinder blocks, but we do have a set of rebreakable boards, 3 sets of focus mitts, and each one of us has leg guards, headgear, and 3-4 types of gloves. Oh and forget about anything short of a wagon when we are in weapons training. I could just barely cram the 4 bags in the 3-series trunk, but it had to be me because my wife couldn’t comprehend getting them to fit.

I found a nice-looking hemi Durango online for $6k. Texted the guy and was meeting up with him just an hour later. After finding hidden rust on the rockers of both sides, I thanked him for his 5 mins and left.

Based on your posts I’m thinking you want something brash and far from the everyday. The R/T is nice but the SRT is a beast.
You do your own wrenching and aren’t going to keep it long anyway!
Just like you never say you wish you bought a smaller TV... you’ll never say I wish I bought the one with less power.

Nice subtle color and appearance too, I bet the speed cops won't even notice it.
I agree with @corvette on the other one. The only thing I like better about it is the 2-tone interior.

You just did the PU so should know how it works. But a nice tri fold cover makes it function like an SUV. So look at both and see what comes cheapest.
