Scott and Terri Basom take Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> passion to new heights.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Two self-proclaimed Mopar fanatics got hitched at the 2006 Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, fate brings two people together, and sometimes, fast does the trick. Scott and Terri Basom met in 1990 while playing co-ed softball. \u201cScott told me I was the perfect woman for him except I drove the wrong brand of car. I guess he was serious,\u201d said Terri.<\/p>\n

So, Terri purchased a 1991 turbocharged Dodge Shadow ES and the rest is history. As they close in on their 13th<\/sup> anniversary, the couple\u2019s passion for Mopar, muscle and all-things racing has made its way through their home, their personal vehicle lineup and even their family dog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEven our vacations revolve around Mopar and NHRA drag racing,\u201d said Terri. \u201cWe have been to the Mopar Nationals twice, Mopar & Muscle Cars at the Strip in Las Vegas, and all of the Mopar Big Block Parties in Golden, Colorado, minus the first one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple is currently on a streak to attend all of the Dodge Block Parties in Reading, Pennsylvania, prior to the Dodge Maple Grove Nationals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to see what Mopar has in store for us in the coming years,\u201d said Terri. \u201cNo matter what it is, we\u2019ll be there!\u201d<\/p>\n
