Meep Meep!

Check out this commercial for the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner starring none other than the the Warner Brothers Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. In fact Dodge spent a load of money to make the horns on these cars sound like the Roadrunner in the cartoon.

Now it's no secret that I'm not a Mopar man, in fact if you cut me I'll bleed Chevy Orange, but I will admit that during the muscle car hey day Dodge built some bad ass automobiles.

There was no arguing with the 'Cuda, Charger (the General Lee was '69 Charger R/T), Challenger or the Daytona . . . in fact when I was going to College in Thunder Bay there was a Superbird that lived there, now that was cool seeing that. Hell there's no denying that the Hemi still hold special reverance for car guys (and gals) all over . . . why else does Dodge flog it so hard in their commercials.

Since we're on the topic, I loves me some newstalgia and I think Ford did it up right with last release of the Thunderbird (it looked best with the hard top with the portal windows on it in white . . . think I saw American Graffiti at an early age?) and did a pretty good job with the new Mustangs (but not as good as the TBirds) but man did Dodge blow it with the new Charger. It's a cool looking car, but as lame as the Charger got in the late '70's it never had four doors. They should have called this car something else instead of dragging a legendary name like Charger through the mud like that.

Now the new Challenger concepts are looking pretty awesome in my humble opinion. All I can say is at least Chevy isn't bringing back the Camaro as a front drive V6 grocery getter. Don't get me wrong I still get groceries in my Z28 (and I'm never late in my Z28) just not a whole lot of them at one time . . . but there is room for one cooler in the trunk . . . and only because I didn't order T-Tops.

Enough of the car talk for now, I'll leave with this awesome quiz, Boobs, Butt or Shoulder? It was harder than I thought it was going to be, which is pretty obvious since I scored a pitiful 9/20. I guess that means I've been grabbing at the wrong bits all this time?
