I agree that GM missed the mark on the whole 'retro' thing.

Ideally.. they shuuda just tooled up an built the '69 SS and Z-28 with today's tech under the shape.

THAT would have been more than fine ;)

I've had good luck with my Chevy trucks interiors (and the rest of it). Really good about no rattles and squeaks. Cant say the same for the one and only Dodge truck I will ever own. They were consistant though. It was a piece of crap top to botton, inside and out.

I dunno. I kinda like it




It reminds me more of the original then the 70's and 80's versions



I had a 70 1/2 RS



Only mine was Red.

Man I miss that car.
Scared the crap out of the wife the first and only time she drove it.
Stepped on the pedal. got plastered to the backof the seat fro the acceleration. Drove exactly 1 block then pulled over and said "Ok I've had enough" LOL

I used to love to come to a light and people would try to race.
I particularly loved the  Dachshund 280Zzzzz's

I remembber one time comming off a light. Now I had a heavy foot back then but I was by no means flooring it and all of a sudden I hear the winding of someone going through gears. I look over and see one of these
Dachshund 280Zzzzz's going through gears like mad racing me. I laughed cause I wasnt even trying to race him and only then even noticed he was there. My buddy was like "I think hes trying to race you"
I said to my buddy. "Watch this" looked over at the driver of the 280zzzzz, Smiled. Waved Bye bye and punched it. and looked into the rearview as he got smaller and smaller as the distance between us increaced.

We Laughed our arses off and my buddy said "Aint no subsitute for cubic inches"

Man I miss that car

Just got it fixed up just the way I wanted and some dork in a Grand AM rear ended me at a traffic light.

::sigh::
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you

I have been pleasantly suprised by my 2001 Dodge Ram. It has 130,000 miles and no squeaks or rattles. Since I fixed the wiring chewed by mice, it has run perfectly.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

It isnt quite as brickish as the Dodge Charger, but its lines arent as nice as the old ones.

My dad has a Ram as does my best friend and his dad. They havent had any trouble with theirs. My was a $36k lemon that fell apart just after 36k  miles. I could almost live with that part. Its was the treatment I got from the people at Dodge. They almost held back their laughter before telling me to **** myself.
