Charger Sighting of the Month: Go Mango #1406 With Lots of "Bling"

Driving through my very own "district", so to speak, where I've been banking, shopping and sending off important mail at the local post office, I suddenly couldn't believe my eyes when I suddenly spotted another Go Mango beauty sitting in a large parking lot glistening in the summer sun. Of course I had to go check "her" out. What a beauty!!! I couldn't help but peek through the passenger side window to see the number on the dash-plaque. Wow, this 2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona in Go Mango color came off the assembly line quite a few before mine. 

The plaque on the dashboard states it is Go Mango # 1406.  Mine is # 3675. I guess that makes mine the younger sister in the bunch. I love this one's  modded tail pipes. I recall a few years ago I was contemplating putting on nice larger tips myself, but after speaking to a bunch of other Dodge Charger aficionados, I decided to keep it all original and changed my mind. I have to say those tips look very nice. I do like the wheels and aftermarket grille also, but I wouldn't go as far, since, again, I've decided to go against the stream and stay all original. I am hoping that in 30 years from now it will become a classic and true collectible. Then the words, all original, will sound like sweet music in a lucky person's ears (who will win her at the Barett-Jackson Car Auction). 

Those two look really nice side by side. It was fun to take the pics.

2006 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T GoMango Still Going

This is the BEST time for me to take the Charger out for a little spin: clear sky, fresh air, and colorful fall foliage! The 5.6 liter V-8 engine with Mopar cold air intake installed loves the cooler air, and the colors really complement the body paint. Only 14,300 miles on this one. Mint condition, all original Mopar.

Dodge Charger Dream Car

Whether young or old, people from all walks of live usually have at least one kind of dream car. Some dream of the old classic Dodge Charger that originally came standard with a 318 V-8 engine, and producing 230 hp at 4,400 rpm. Others wish for a 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona in Go ManGo! color, the modern American muscle car with its powerful 5.7 liter V-8 HEMI engine for drivers who want to get noticed.

Buffing Out Stone Chips and Watermarks with 7424 Buffer

We took the Bimmer for a looooong drive from Massachusetts, to Niagara Falls, NY, back down and around the great lakes through PA, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, up to Madison, Wisconsin.

It was freezing cold and snowing in Madison, so we wasted no time, we dipped back down into Illinois, and then came up toward Chicago and around the great lakes again, back to Niagara Falls, and from there into Ontario, Canada.

There was a lot of construction everywhere. When we came home the needed to be buffed with my 7424 Porter Cable random dual action orbital polisher.

Took 3 1/2 (glorious hours) to buff out very fine stone chips from the hood. I used Meguiar's Scratch X followed by Turtle "Black Box" with the orange pad. Somehow we got "sandblasted". I also have white paint spray/splatter along the right rocker panels front to almost back. That I haven't worked on yet.

Sighting of the Month: Plum Crazy SRT8?

A Plum Crazy SRT8? The color is Plum Crazy, and the badge on the trunk lid says "SRT8" (I believe?). Well, I took a double take. Only 300 built of these beauties. This one was sighted on I-291 West headed toward Springfield, Massachusetts. I only saw it from the rear. Never caught up to pass in my Ram.

Are my eyes tricking me? Or is this a Plum Crazy SRT8 (trunk badge!).

On-A-Shoestring-Budget Fix for Scratches on Radio's LCD Display...

Unfortunately there were some scratches on the surface of the LCD display screen of my Dodge Charger's radio right out of the show room when I bought it.

LCD screens are very sensitive, and should NEVER be wiped with a paper towel, napkin, or even terry cloth. These types of material are way too harsh, and if there is as little as one grain of sand or dust particle as you wipe, you might as well use a Brillo pad, it will permanently mar the surface just the same. Once they are in there, they are permanent.

I am not aware of any products that will safely, and satisfactorily buff out scratches on an LCD screen. However, I have been told there are some home remedies, and products on the market*. I have not tried any of them, but came up with a different fix... Then again, fix isn't the right word here, it's more of a clever patch-up...

Here is a Clever Fix!!!

1.) Buy a pack of display protectors for BlackBerry phones and PDAs... (Verizon store, $9.90)
2.) Get a piece of white paper, a pen or pencil, and a pair of scissors.

That's all you need!


Take the sheet of paper and get an imprint of the LCD window. All you have to do is hold the paper perfectly in place with one hand, and rub it it with your other hand (thumb) to create an imprint mold.



Trace the pattern with a pen. You can use the screen protector cardboard package insert as a ruler to keep your lines straight.


Measure the screen length and width on grid, then trim the grid to screen size.



Wipe the LCD display screen with the the special dry cloth that was included in the display protectors package to remove oil, or dust. Peel the corner away from the grid backing, being careful not to touch the sticky surface of the LCD protectant foil (you don't want finger prints or lint on there!). Hold the display protector from the corners while applying to LCD using the handy little plastic smoothing card that also came in the pack.



Try to position the strip right from the beginning, as it makes the application a lot easier. However, you CAN reposition the protectant film by gently lifting and reapplying it, if necessary.

And PRESTO, here is your new, scratch free LCD screen.


*Final remarks:

I have heard about a product called CD 2000 that buffs scratches out of plastic, and it may work for lighter scratches. Someone else suggested using toothpaste, soft pencil eraser, or Brasso. I never gave these suggestions a try as I don't know whether it may actually worsen the problem. I feel using the screen protector film is a better solution, and more beneficial, since it also protects the screen from more scratches.
