My name is Cody. I'm from BC, Canada and it's safe to say I'm a certified car nut. I grew up watching reruns of the Dukes of Hazzard and all I knew was that I wanted my own General Lee. I didn't know what kind of car it was, all I knew was it was called the General Lee and I wanted it. In 1998, when I was 6, I was given my very own '69 Charger for Christmas. It wasn't much but it was a real Charger and the beginning to my 
General Lee. My Charger led a rough life. It was originally from Edmonton Alberta. The original owner sold it in 1979 and it ended up in British Columbia where it was driven until around 1985 when it was parked in a driveway. In 1996, life got even rougher for it. It was bought and used as a parts car for a '69 Charger R/T. See, my '69 is a basic 318 automatic car. It dosen't seem like much value to some people but it holds so much sentimental value to me it's amazing. In 1998 that's when my dad's friend found it and my dad went out and bought it. The car was beat and it was missing everything. However, to our luck the owner had the original passenger door, fender and interior in his garage. Someone had spray painted all over it, keyed it and they even went as far as throwing the front bumper through the windshield. The thing I find funny now is when I was young and had my Charger, I only knew of a few cars. '68-'70 Chargers, '71 Camaros, '70 GSXs and '68-'70 GTOs (my dad had a '69 and '70 before I was born) and '76 Trans Am (my mom had one). Now-a-days I can spot almost any muscle car and I'm able to name it. I've even surpassed my dad with that and he's the one who taught me everything. Over the past 2 years I've added to my personal car collection in the form of a 1973 Plymouth Duster and 1970 Coronet 500. However my Charger is still my baby and it will never leave my hands. See, one thing you should know about me is I love all muscle cars however Mopars (Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler) are my passion. I live and breath muscle cars. If I'm not working on my own cars, I'm on the computer on forums talking about them or searching Craigslist for new deals. If I'm not found doing either of those two, I'm building model replicas or reading car magazines. I started this blog to share everything I find interesting in the world of cars. I hope you enjoy and continue reading and checking out new posts. Cheers, Cody
