2010 Challenger. I know I'm biased but I think Mopar did the best recreating a muscle car. This car had over 100,000 miles on it and you could eat off the engine. It got in the high 20's MPG. Rode great, had some weight to it to make it ride good. Ran fantastic also. Have a friend that has a z06 corvette that wanted to race, told him to hook up about 1000 lbs behind him and let's go, never happened!20170603_171429.jpg20170603_171308.jpg20170603_171411.jpg20170603_171007.jpg20170603_171019.jpg

If I had to describe my youth with movie's it would be... 50% "Up In Smoke",. 20% "Easy Rider", 20% "Dazed And Confused". 1% "Fast And Furious" because it didn't take us 2 1/2 minutes and 103 gear shifts to do a 1/4 mile, we didn't know what a rice burner was, to us the only foreign car we knew of was a volkswagen bug and one old guy with a Datsun. The other 9%, I don't remember and to be truthful probably a whole lot more than 9 %, "I don't remember" LOL

My youth would be American Graffitti. Weeknights on Northampton St in Easton Pa, weekends either Hamilton St in Allentown or Front St down in Philly. We were probably partly responsible for the gas crisis back then, and kept OPEC solvent thru it all.

Well, you lot were spoilt rotten! Obviously I lived in UK when I first started driving and I drove a Chrysler/Rootes vehicle called a Hillman Avenger!
this is a representation of my old jalopy! 1970 model I had it in 1977….

I remember the day both the camaro and challenger debuted. I was on vacation and saw them both being test driven. Chevy was crap. The 05 mustang did get close, but man Dodge nailed it with the Challenger, and minus the 4 doors with the Charge, Dodge has done it right. My dad had an 11 Challenger R/T. I do really prefer the 14+ look. I like how they modernized it yet kept it looking vintage.

I still have pics from the very first time I saw one in person at the 2008 Philly Autoshow. Decided then and there I wanted one since it was only 2yrs after I had sold my Road Runner. Ended up with two different Chargers and a Magnum instead lol.

I like the Durango. We had a 17 R/T. Bought it for the wife, but she did not like how it drove. I ended up with it. I had it about 1.5 years before I traded it in on the Charger.

I doubt I'll ever get my wife back in a car again. She's had this one for 6 years now and not looking back, which is good to me! LOL

For our 40th anniversary I took my wife back to the church we got married in. It's about 400 miles from where we live now. Hadn't seen it since we got married. Also took her back to the school where we first met (It's abandoned now). I was a high school dropout, she was on the basketball team, I went to the game, seen her and it was love at first sight. We got married 6 months later, had 2 kids and now it's been almost 42 years and we're still going stronger than ever!
