The other day, I was parked out front of my son's school and this guy rolls up and compliments the car. I say thanks and then he says, what is that? 2008? I say, no, it's a '13 . . .
My first instinct was, "Uh, what the heck?" How do you confuse an '08 to a '13, then it hit me . . . The Challenger's design was so well done in looks that it doesn't seem like much was changed . . . but look at the Mustang & Camaro. In Ford's Family, they went all different in front looks and that slanted back after 2011 (May I ask why when the '05-'08 looked really "cool retro"? Then in the Chevy Cousin changed the tailights (FINALLY!) but the front looks like a retarded (forgive me as this may not be P-C) Corsica. Why the hell did GM changed the front? The front from the first retro-release looked like an eagle that says, "Yeah, what about it? I'm American? Jealous? You should be, I can kick your butt and still have time to kiss your girlfriend." Now the front looks like, "I'm going to the grocery store to pick up some maxi-pads. Oh, and I'll get some for you too."
(Pause and Breathe) But after that comment from that other parent that thought my car was an '08, I realized, Dodge did it right from retro-beginning to now. And I'm thankful that they stayed with their muscle-beginning roots in looks.
You would think that manufacturers would work things out so that we don't deal with taking our cars apart, like legos, to get rid of a sound or vibration.
Thanks for letting me vent . . . if you want to know who I am, I'm the guy on the left side of the bar on his 10th beer.
