There were some neat things (and some raging dumpster fires).

My favorite car of the show. A Dodge Polara with a 413 cross-ram and a typewriter gear selector:

And then, a small sample of the large amount of garbage that was there:

Why do cringey car people put the punisher logo on things for no reason? Also, those 20" Cragar SS knock-offs are literal trash.

Somebody got into the JC Whitney catalog

Warning, next photo is known to cause cancer in the state of California:

The licence plate is just the icing on this dumpster fire.

I was literally just pointing and laughing. If you think this is good, you deserve to be laughed at.

A lot of great stuff. Finished on a shitty note though. What did those logos say in pink? Something honorable or stupid? Looks like breast cancer awareness but this car looks like it would be owned by someone who just likes boobs.

No car.

Wait... was there a question?

Anyway... ive been seeing those “adjustable” front splitters on Challengers a lot lately. Not sure what the deal is.

I don’t care what Brian Wilson thought, a 413 would kill a fuelie C2 in a drag race.

I think the owner was a woman and that one is actually for awareness.

I like the 20” chrome wheels. They might be the American Racing Torque Thusts. Pretty conservative compared to the whacky accessories on the other Challengers.

An honest to God Superbird is in my top 10 list if I win the lottery. Damn they’re great looking cars.

Well, then, I can’t really knock it then. But I’m not a fan.

And yeah, that cross ram wedge is awesome -

1. No, those are a Cragar SS clones and they’re terrible. (Torq thrusts are terrible too)

2. Chrome wheels in general have no place on a modern car

3. I would have a real Superbird too, they’re awesome.

If the “Mopar or no car” option was any of those last three, then absolutely “no car”.

I’d take most any of the others (probably not that supercharged Challenger, it looked goofy)

I’m not really a mopar guy, but I’d really like a 69 satellite.

Just the one sticker was, the rest were all crap.

The white Satellite was a real Hemi/4 speed car, the blue one was a clone but looked really good too.

I don’t know, a 327 in a much lighter car like that would be a heck of a runner.

Pretty sure that’s a Superbird with Lambo doors tho

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Bman76 (no it doesn't need a WS6 hood) M. Arch 10/24/2017 at 22:03

Man the new Challenger brings out a tacky crowd even worse than the C5 Corvette.

I just zoomed in and saw that the Dodge badge on the orange/red Challenger is also a punisher logo, with a Mopar logo on the forehead. I bet 99.9% of people that put Punisher stuff in their car have never read a Punisher comic, and just like the skull Logo. Because skullz are badass dude.

I like the challenger daytona kit, seeing as the challenger is more a classic charger than classic challenger, but lambo doors and those big a$$ wheels are way too much

Out in allentown, PA theres an abandoned satellite that looks real nice, except for the tree growing through it

Even better, two yellow Chargers. If you look at the photos one had a red tail stripe the other didn’t.

I can’t judge. I currently have a tab open for a Miata-specific scissor door hinge. The thought of putting scissor doors on a hardcore track focused Miata.... It makes me feel strange feelings

(edit) but yeah good god those wheels are horrible. They look like cheap plastic sprayed in chrome. I don’t want to say Hotwheels because those wheels would make a Hotwheels designer blush

You probably like pop tarts and Skittles, but not aged chedder and sitting in a comfy chair.

Basically, I’m saying you’ll have better taste with age. But, that’s the only thing that gets better. So, eat as many Skittles and poo tarts as you can.

You need to be careful who sees you pointing and laughing when they have that license plate.

I hate lambo doors on anything, even Lambos. I am forced to admit, however, that they would be a lot more practical than regular doors for most parking. I might not have to worry about getting a handicap spot as often. This leaves me conflicted. :|

It would be, and a much better balanced car too, but it wouldn’t beat a purpose built drag car with over 400hp and 500 pound-feet of torque (assuming a Max Wedge since the song specifies a Super Stock).

Like, no joke, the car is mint, at least by somewhat higher than road kill standards

you put this in the wrong list, needs refiling to dumpster fire.

I saw them setting up in the morning. A few of the newer chargers were meeting up at QT. I had a work meeting so I wasn’t able to stick around.

Neat stuff.

I can appreciate that, for some unknown reason, somebody took care of that car. I feel the same way about the Chrysler TC by Maserati, both are way cooler than all the Pep Boys special Challengers and Chargers.

While not Chrysler’s best work, the Cordoba and its badge engineered 300 derivative were doing the best they could in the middle of the malaise era.

Also, the Brougham scene doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
