First off my name is Mike but with so many mikes I go by my last name which works out being military but thats Newman. Here is a little background on myself. Born and raised in Florida. From 3 to 18 I lived in Orlando until joining the Air Force and here I am now. Was here from 04 to 08 spent 08 to 09 in South Korea and been back here ever since. I am divorced and have a little girl who turned 5 today. But dont worry she loves cars too. I met a few members at the FD event and really liked the attitude of the members. Not into the gang style of car crews that most seem to have become. Very interested in meeting more members and hopefully become a member when the time is right.
Here is some information on my current vehicle. 2012 Dodge Durango R/T. Bought it 24 Dec 11, yeah it was a present to myself. I am limited on bolt on items due to small market so I have to be a little more creative. I loved the way the Challenger ACR looked at last years SEMA show so I took that layout and had 702 Graphics lay it out on the Durango. Also, to keep with the Dodge theme I added 22x9 Viper Replicas from Factory Reproductions. As far as performance I am limited as well since Mopar decided to put a rolling code onto the newer 5.7s so I cant tune it. But I was to add a K&N CAI and removed rear mufflers and replaced with straight pipes. I was able to build my own sound system in the rear cargo area. This was my first time ever trying to put something like this together and feel it came out pretty good. Well, below are some photos of the vehicle. And enjoy my plate if you can figure it out cause if youre not laughing youre not living.
