I bet you'll find the first gen more fun and start modding it, forgetting about the 05. :lol:

What a waste of a nice R/T. Whats with people getting R/T's as "beaters''? Get an old 4 door sport, not an R/T! Nice find btw.

+1 , Park the R/T for the winter and drive your 05 instead. Look at the plus side of it, if you ever got stuck in a ditch due to snow, a tow truck can just latch on the wing and pull you out :D . Nice looking cars, both of them ;)

Great find. I agree the R/T shouldn't be a "beater." I too like it over your 05. Both cars look good. The 98 looks like it could use a couple lug nuts...

Hahaha! :lol:

I'll keep my R/T as a beater because the body is in very bad shape. Right side is worse than left side, lot of dents and rust... The '05 is my project car and is brand new (32 000 km) and i want a nice beater! :D

Thanks for your comments! :wink:
