Why I chose Dodge Challenger over the other Muscle Cars......Inspired story by Justin B....
    First of all , I would like to say Justin or BUD TO THOSE close to him, is a true gentlemen in my book, Sure hes not always politically correct or silent about his ideas or views, But What is True American? A person who is proud and loud and not afraid to show it.. Theirs nothing more American than thinking We are the best! Because everyone whether they admit it, Knows America is the land of opportunity and splendor.. If you want anything , America has it, and if they don't... Then its not worth wanting.. ...
  ok.. now back on track.. During my years of researching and test driving cars.. Mustang, Charger, Camaro , Nissan Z cars.. yea. i did.. I was won over on St Patricks Day March 17. 2012 in Temecula.. My wife and I went for a test drive on wet roads and raining conditions.. The ride was awesome.. The speed I took it won me over, the fact i could floor it on rain puddles and spinning around the Track around the dealership.. won me over.. The ride was smooth and the spacious interior was luxurious and comfortable.. But the electronics really won me over.. Not to get too technical.. But the Amped up Stereo and the Boston Acoustics speakers , the HDD , and Satellite " Sirius Radio.. DVD,, CD- recording capabilities as well as the phone.. and Navigation system was off the hook. I loved the push button start and the keyless entry with remote elf starting was James Bond like.. Plus.. the Pitch Black color with red accents on the hood was attentive grabbing. The Ride was meant for me.. I loved the feel and my emotions were with that car. I loved the Muscle car retro look, over the Race track styling of the Mustang or Camaro,.Don't get me wrong those cars are awesome in their own ways.. But I was looking for the retro look and daily driver ability. The rear seats , though tight, is still more comfy than the Mustang or Camaro and the Practical side mirrors just made the decision more easier to take. The car just has that mean lean look , that the Mustang and Camaro just doesnt do it . I mean lets face it Mustangs are so common, and the Camaro is starting to get that reputation too. The Challenger is cool , retro and most of all unique.. I'm always the unique guy,, never followed stereotypes or going along with the crowd.. I always want to be different.. The challenger fit that bill, and when its get discontinued , because Dodge plans to bring back the Barricuda.. which is a smaller , and more lighweight car to compete withe the Sports car Mustangs and Camaro.. I chose Challenger because Im old school , I grew up in the big ass car era.. FIREBIRDS, TRANS AM-- SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT CAR. THE FAST BACK LONG BODY 302 BOSS MUSTANGS , THE BIG BODY CAMARO'S.. Sure Muscle Cars are not PC, in this day and age of economy cars and save the earth.. But I don't care. because I'm a throw back to those days of reckless youth parties and showing off your big body and big block engines ,, cranking out Van Halen. AC DC, AEROSMITH, MOTELY CRUE. RATT, LED ZEPPELIN,. SCORPIONS,. OZZY. Yes. those are days forever in my mind.. Remember my Aztecs classmates, Palm Ave racing down the street on our way to the " pits:" FOR 4 Wheeling or Bon fire Keggers. Yup ,, those days are gone, BUT every time I turn up the radio and hear those classic tunes.. and I'm in my Hemi powered Challenger.. I'm recalling our youths.. where our long hair and skinny bodies. were the norm.. and for my classmates attending our reunion... If i can.. I will be there and I want all of us to enjoy that night and for the lucky few .. We will cruise around with my ride and for one , two or three days.. relive those glory days of being a Mayan and Aztecs of Montgomery.. South San Diego... Lives forever in our hearts and minds!! I chose Challenger because it is a blast from the past and it brings back those days of cruising down Palm Ave ,, or Highland Ave in National City.. You guys remember??
