Being young with a decent job out of grad school has its advantages, namely no family to support yet and too much disposable income. I definitely lucked out getting this job shortly after getting my Masters in Comp Sci, but then again Comp Sci can be a pretty crazy field. I'm basically doing IT Consulting work with Fortune 500 clients, not a bad gig especially considering a lot of my living expenses are paid when I'm on the road. The downside is that I've spent 200+ nights in a hotel since last July, another thing I couldn't get away with if I was slightly older and already had a family. In the end, I decided to go after what I wanted while still keeping enough in the bank to be comfortable. Hey, you're only young once, right?

That's exactly how I felt...I really enjoyed the crossfire, but I had SRT-6 envy. So, I decided not to make the same mistake and went straight to the top. The sound alone from the big V8 is worth it, not to mention the mid-4s 0-60 and high 12s quarter mile.
Other than the one night pic, I don't have any nice shots of the interior yet.
I do, however, have a few taken with my cell phone the Saturday before I took delivery:
I'll try to get some nice interior shots this week, the above ones do it no justice.
