July 8: Wild in the streets!

Looking for a good old American sedan? Something unpretentious for you and four good friends to cruise around in with lots of interior space? Something full size, that can be had for less than $40k CDN. Something that looks just like your local cop cars? Well folks, I have your ride. Step right up and take a look at this 2020 Dodge Charger, which has been around basically unchanged since 2005.

Boring? Absolutely! So how about spicing it up? What might be a nice addition to this family sedan for 2021? Leather? A sunroof? GPS? Or how about a neat little symbol on the front fender? Something like this........

So what's the catch?

The catch is that this symbol will turn your humdrum Charger into something a little less mundane. Something that will still fit all your friends (assuming you have only four). Something that will keep your local tire dealer in business. Something that will excite the local constabulary. Something that will strike terror in the hearts of all those exotic car owners, who think that their mucho expensive cars can't be beat.

The catch is this demon symbol with the red eye means, that your Charger is packing a mighty 797 HP under that air scooped hood, making scenes like this common place in your neighbourhood......

Yes sir, it was only a matter of time until those horsepower addled folks at Dodge decided that the Charger Hellcat simply wasn't enough with its mere 707 HP. So for only (and I mean "only) about $100,000 you can embarrass your local fancy car owners, who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars more for bragging rights and still don't crank out this much wonderful power.

Take an ordinary Dodge sedan, throw on a wide body kit, an air scoop, humongous tires, this intriguing little devil symbol and you create the wet dream fantasy of every red blooded North American car guy or gal. Gee, we live in a great time.

What will those crazies from Dodge think of next?

Until next time and stay safe........
