Ironic Challenger is ironic.

The Challenger is the most slavishly retro of the modern American muscle cars, yet every single one is shipped with the units set to metric, even the Ultra 'Murican SRT8. Thanks, Canada.

I had to get a few shots next to the Dart.

It's Canada. Surprised they don't have it in French, too.

Good looking LX :D What kind of wheels are those? They are sort of shadowed in the pic.

Something I could probably never explain. Even to myself. There's just something about that shade of purple mixed with this car that just works. I absolutely love the Challenger and if I had the money it would be sitting in my driveway already. The plum Crazy just works for me. Much like the lime green on the old Hemi 'Cuda's. Something about old American muscle just works with random as shit colors and I think Chrysler did extremely well in recreating a muscle car that actually looks like the modern day successor to it's retro counterpart.

I'd go for Header Orange, but Plum Crazy is a close second.

you must REALLY like that plum crazy color! (Kinja'd)

Mine would be the reverse. I love the Header Orange but Plum Crazy is the nicer of the two in my eyes.

At our Christmas party, my boss started going off about the French when someone mentioned Grey Goose. He called them every name under the sun.

The other color for some dumb reason I liked was that limited edition pink... I'm a guy; but it kinda grew on me

I guess that makes sense because they have to drive them all onto Canadian haulers? I would hope the dealers flip 'em all to 'Murican before any test drives.

oldirtybootz > GreenN_Gold

I usually do when they come in. We change it over before the car is actually delivered though.

Yup.. That's it.. My sisters friends neighbor had one... Listening to that V8 growl was incredible

I didn't realize they offered Fuscia on these. There was also Panther Pink back in the day.

oh. I thought you were from Canada. But obviously not, since newfoundland is as east as we go. Are you from the UK?

Much further.

Ah right, I remember now. I don't think I've ever seen one in person.

If your precious metric system made so much sense then why are there 1.6 km per mile? That hardly seems base 10 to me. /math troll mode

I approve! I have always thought about painting my maggy plum crazy.
