I Drove The Worst Dodge Daytona Wing Car To A Car Show: Reactions Were Insane!

Episode 267 of Mike Finnegan's Garage is a fun one. After doing a bit of suspension tuning on my Toyota 2JZ-swapped '68 Charger we road trip it and my '69 Charger to the local Caffeine and Octane car show here in Georgia. We wanted to see what the people thought of the ratty muscle car and so we mounted a camera on the windshield and let it roll for over an hour to capture folks' impressions of the cardboard radiator ducting, ratchet strap battery hold down and rusty body. Boy was that exciting! lol.

Time for the obligatory Sunday episode of _Sillier with Finnegan_ - a.k.a.

Jokes aside, consider repairing the rusted torque boxes and rocker panels. Those door gaps remind me of the sag you find on convertibles. That ladder frame might not be connected to the original unibody, after all.

Funny having Caffeine and Octane at Towne Center Mall. 20 years ago, It was Caffeine & Octane every weekend and even weeknights on Barrett. I spent my teens & 20’s (I’m 38 now) on Barrett. It was our staging area for Lots of crazy times and memories. Cobb police would chase us around kicking us out of Starbucks, Galyans/Dicks, Sports Authority, US Play, Media Play, etc. weeknights were usually chill out at starbucks. We used to get about 4-6 cars to pace traffic and do rolling runs at 1am on 575 between Bells Ferry & hwy 92, get on at Chastain Rd, pace traffic through the curve, then as soon as you crossed the Hawkins Store rd bridge and it straightened up, that’s where you start running usually a 2nd gear pull up to about 100-120mph then get off at 92, turn around and do the same thing going southbound. Switches from Cobb to Cherokee county there in that stretch so it wasn’t patrolled much except occasionally GSP. Good times… I had my Turbo’d Honda Accord 😂🤣😂. Our “crew” actually got back together about 6-7 years ago for a “reunion” at Starbucks. We’re all married with kids now.
