This was an incredible weekend for carshows! Saturday I hit the Millville, NJ Airshow/Carshow with my Dad. We had a great time and the Jeep was a smash hit. Constant crowds, I was the only SRT vehicle there with about 500 cars showing up.

Today, I hit the Promenade Car Show sponsored by Classic Corvette Club of South Jersey. Again, I was the only SRT8 there and managed to get the club members to let me park between two gorgeous Vipers that showed up. Both GTS's.

The Jeep was a hit once again and I won a First Place trophy for "T-3" Class, which was Trucks 1999 to Present!!!! AWESOME!!

The Jeep got MASSIVE respect from the Corvette crowd, I loved it.

Rich's Viper Graphix engine covers were a highlight, and the Billet Technology engine dress up parts were also popular. People kept asking me if it came like that! LOL

The guy with the Blue & White GTS won first place in his class too. Really cool guy and the Viper was his dream car to own, he truly loved it.

Congrats Mango! Your engine compartment looks emazing with the mods.

Sweet pics dude! I wish we had more of this sort of thing out my way. Looks like the Mopar family was well represented with the three of you there. I know what you mean about the Corvette crowd, I've been running into a lot of them lately with the nicer weather and they all seem to really like and respect the Jeep SRT8. Congrats on first place that's awesome! ;)

Thanks guys!! I was wearing my SRT Polo Shirt from the Track Experience, and everyone that walked by I was happy to represent the truck and the forums. I had people sitting in the truck, showing them the features, etc. I discussed mods, and just did my best to educate. People would ask me "Are you just here representing for the division or do you own this?" haha!

This was my favorite vehicle there (other than mine of course), a Morgan 3 Wheel! Powered by a V-Twin motorcycle engine, the guy really drove it in there!

Congrats Mango.
Sounds like you had a great time.

Good job Bro. One clean ride!!!

Congrats on the win. Those valve covers look awesome.

Nice work Mango...I hope I get to be like you when I grow up ;)

Nice 1 Mango!!!

What is the small k&n filter for? What does it do. I'm sure I need one 2..

Way to represent.

T-Time

Thats cool. If you had gone in to win something would likely have not had the same success. The surprise ones are the best. If the truck didn't look good enough stock, yours looks great. Enjoy the trophy, and go out and get some more.

Yeah, I had no intention to "win" anything. We went to the show for my Dad, to show the 67' Vette (since it's a Corvette Club sponsoring the event).

It was definetly very fun, and surprising. :)

Well deserved. Makes all the hard work (and $) worth it when you get respect like that.

Very nice Mango. Congrats again!
Finally another paintballer that owns an SRT8.
Free up =P lol.
Oh yea and very sweet engine mods.

Hey Lee! You're a baller too, aye?

What do you shoot? Right now I'm playing GPL D1 with a 7man team on the East Coast here (New Jersey). Shooting an 07 Ego.

I've been ballin for like.... 16 years now! Man...it's been that long.

Sweet bro, 07 Ego nice! Still using my 06' RL Shocker atm. Got an a pretty sweet ion too. (yea i know =P) But nothing is stock on it. But yea Im on the East Coast aswell not NJ though. Im in South Carolina. And live Close to the Charlotte area in North Carolina. But im not on a team atm my last one broke up b/c of people moving. But been playing for about 4 years now.
And im pretty sure you got an pbnation account too correct? =P
Mines Leeoober on there so hit me up there too.
^^

Awesome bro! We definetly have to ball sometime. I've been down for two seasons of the CFOA in your neck of the woods, and been all over the Clemson area too to play. I LOVE Clemson U....heehehe. I'd post my adventures aroudn there but I'd probably get banned.

Yeah I have a PBnation account, SprayingMango :)

It's also my AIM name, feel free to add me if you want to chat.

I can't believe I am reading about modding paintball guns. There is a whole nother world out there that I know nothing about...

Sounds great bro! But yea finally meet an SRT brother and paintballer. Yea actually i was at the CFOA aswell. Hmmm.. Wander if i saw you there =P lol.
Were you still shooting that 07 ego?
But yea i have tons of guns (got a couple of low ends =P) and trying to get rid of some soon, just to have some extra cash/mods for SRT8.

all you damn whippersnappers... I was playing 18 years ago, started with a Splatmaster, then a PGP, then a tippman SL68. Back in my day there were no "mods" - you had to carry CO2 cartridges in your pockets.

...and we had to walk 15 miles to the playing field, through 3 feet of snow, barefoot!

ahh i see. A pumper as well? Nice, i have a few pumps my self, but not old school like that. got a few sniper 2's though. very very accurate.

Hey Mango. Looks like you've added some pics since I first read your thread. Your engine compartment is awesome bro! Where did you get those kick'n valve covers!!:eek: I can't wait to see it up close! Did you get the PM I sent you about my Joisy trip? I'm heading out sometime next tuesday. Let me know if you still need my contact info or PM me with yours. A Mopar gets 1st at a Chevy show, I love it. Congrats again.

I live over in Mount Laurel which is about 5 minutes from the Promenade. I just got my jeep last week, and havent seen any others in south jersey yet. (Saw two on memorial day weekend up by Belmar).

Hey Greg!! What color is it? Where did you get it, Lenihan Jeep on 73?

I live in Washington Twp. (Sewell). I drive all over the Mt. Laurel area. If you ever see me, wave/beep! They are quite rare to see in the area. :)

We'll have to meet up someday.

I had to drive up to baker in princeton to get it, they are the only ones who had them left in the area besides sicklerville. I got the blue

Lee? Where at in SC? I am in Charleston.

The dealership I bought mine from, Martin in Sicklerville, has 3 on the lot. They continuously have them on the lot since my Dad and I boosted their allotement by buying TWO in a 3 day span. :)

If you need service, look no further. They are excellent!
