Day three of our excursion across this great land has come to an end. Johnny and I left from Pontoon Beach, IL en-route to Topeka, KS to meet up with some friends from one of my favorite message boards, www.dodgecharger.com. We gathered a group of around five cars on the Missouri/Kansas border and proceeded to make the 75 mile run to Topeka.

Once there, an impromptu Monday night car show materialized that included some classic iron. Everything from a real 1969 Dodge Daytona to a 1978 Dodge Little Red Express Truck came out of the Kansas woodwork. CBS news in Topeka also came out to give Team Angry some air time on their morning news show. When asked why we were driving across the USA, we simply said: “To find out why everyone is always angry…”. Truth be told I think they were a little perplexed by this statement and didn’t really know what to make of us, especially when they saw the Charger all sticker’d up.
I should also mention that on the way to Topeka we had the opportunity to stop at a few scrap yards. Being from Queens, NY the only real scrap yards we have go by a different name – chop shops, so being able to venture out into real yards was a total treat. The field was lined with everything from old Chevy Novas to Chryslers to old Thunderbirds, and walking through these old yards was like taking a step back in time. Unfortunately there was nothing there that was small enough to take with us so we had to be content with just looking.
When we finally got to our hotel in Topeka we realized we had a great day. We met some of the nicest people, got to dig through some old junkyards and made it yet another leg with no worries.
