I just purchased a black '05 SRT-6 w/ 14K miles. I am in San Diego and I fly to Phoenix on Wednesday to drive it home (5-6 hours). I have been lurking on this board for a month, but didn't want to join unti I bought. This looks like a great resource--good guys with plenty of knowledge.

I am a car guy, owning a few performance cars in the past:

'84 Porsche 944
'88 BMW M5
'73.5 Porsche 911
'95 BMW M5
'03 Mercedes C32 AMG

I loved the C32 and this is what sparked my interest in the SRT-6 a few years ago. In the past, I have done plenty of my own routine service (and some mods) myself when knowlege and time permitted. I have less time these days (2 kids) but I would still like to do relatively simple maintenance and easy mods that make a difference.

I look forward to a good relationship with the car and with the community here.

Bill, Welcome to the Forum and good luck with the the new ride.

 

Alright, I would like to see one stay in the valley. Glad it's going to a forum member. If you need a ride from the airport to pick up your car give me a pm. Pack light and I'll pick you up in the six.

 

Thanks for the courteous offer. I think that the seller is picking me up from the airport. I don't know if I will leave for SD from there or drive him back to his home/office. I would say we should get together for lunch/beers, but I will probably want to hit the road quickly as I have to work on Thursday. SD is relatively close, though. We should hook up sometime.

Forgot to add: I am buying the car to use as a daily driver--should drive it approx. 400 miles weekly.

 

Welcome to the forum. Should be a blast getting aquainted on the way home.

 

~ congrats and welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to the "I use my SRT-6 as a daily driver" club! These cars love to be driven!

 

Welcome to our forum and enjoy!!

 

Congrats & welcome.

You'll have to tell us how the SRT6 compares to your C32 AMG.

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum! My SRT-6 is also a daily driver.

 

Always good to have another member. Welcome!

So that's some pretty low milage, which is a good thing considering your going to be driving it so much. I was curious how much you got it for if you don't mind saying.

 

Sounds good. There is an In N' Out on your way to SD at I-10 and Dysart Rd. or plenty of other places in that area. Let me know what time you plan on driving out and I'll see if I can meet you.

 

Welcome and take the long way home through the Indigo and down 111 to 8 over the SD.

 

We are in the preliminary stages of planning a San Diego meet. Keep an eye on the Regional Forums - West Forums for details if you'd like to attend.

Where in Stoplight Dieg... I mean San Diego do you live? I live in the San Carlos area and I'm another one who uses the 6 as a daily driver.

 

mmmmm, in 'n out burger...soooo good. welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase. i'm sure you'll be trolling the forums for more and more infor like some of us do...just remember, the more you know, and knowing is half the battle. haha

 

Shoot me an e-mail: wrrii@hotmail.com and we can get in touch.
