I will be there!!

Our bike nights are more of a social deal. If its raining we still go but in the cage.

4 days

Long drive in the cage...

I hate my cage. I'm 500 away from paying it off.

Move closer!

I will definitely be there, pending no issues at work... I hate being on-call.

I could just buy a faster cage... That might happen after I pay off the R6.

If my timing is right, the challenger should be out by then.

what a crappy name for a car because of the name association.

I particularly like all of the "Challenger Freight" trucks I see around the airport. You'd think they would have changed their logo back in 1986...

You mean with the space shuttle? The challenger (car) predates the challenger (shuttle).

This car is simply a remake of it's old (70-74) self.

still, the name association will still be there regardless of when the car first inducted the name

Firewa11 · Post by **Firewa11** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 1:50 pm

Agreed

Only for aerospace geeks. I never even thought of the shuttle till you said something. In the car world, Challenger is the sister car to the Charger and both were one hell of a car, few people think past that.

I guess thats debatible. Not the hell of a car part, but the few people think past that part. Would be interesting to see what the general public on the street would come up with

Bailout · Post by **Bailout** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 7:26 pm

Yeah the same General public that when asked what they thought about obama (guy running for president) they said we should kill him?

Yeah those are the ones to ask!!!

Blizzard_1708 · Post by **Blizzard_1708** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:31 pm

I'm not saying they are intelligent, I just think more people in general would associate CHallenger with the shuttle before the car

Post by **DarcShadow** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:32 pm

I'd actually bet that the majority of the general public doesn't even remeber the shuttle Challenger. It has been over 21 years now since that happened. I'd even wager, you'd be lucky to find 2 dozen people outside of the aerospace industry that even remebers the name of the shuttle that exploded over Texas 4 years agao, let alone one 21 years ago.

maybe its just my Quality Assurance training every no more than 3 months apart for the Navy then. "It was just an o-ring"
