It's from a BMW ad you may have seen, if not be ready to be facinated

three 2008 Challengers being auctioned off

auctions selling off the first three Dodge Challengers.

Two of the auctions are to benefit notMYkid and United Way of Southeastern Michigan. The last is an eBay auction.

Not exactly an easy straightforward purchase

Either Houston drivers are morons, or the metro running alongside traffic was a bad idea

The Metro's Greatest Hits, Vol 1

One big Olds, 4400 pounder






from the good old days before trunks popping open from a key fob.

Looks like Jim was having a great day at the track


Antique drags, Sept 23 2007


















Barona 1/8th mile antique drags, just 30 miles East of the Q... Lots of Mopars there today












Lakeside has lots of old dozers hanging around becoming rust

Just how anchient is that little 3 axle?


When they have hand cranks on them, you better guess pre 1940...


And they haven't used that logo style in a long time I bet.

Southbay Cruisers





Now that is a cool cowl vent!



It's very unusual to see a couple of Raod Runners at the same show, and especially when they are 1st and 2nd generation birds.

Lousy morning for a car show, so windy it would move your arm when you go to snap a pictures off... but that didn't keep these cars in the garage! J Street Marina Car show went on anyway
