Gentlemen...Start Your Engines!

So.....which color should I get? Actually, none of the above. I just happened to drive past one of the car dealerships in town on my way home from the store on Sunday and saw this brightly-colored lineup of Dodge Chargers. It's a good thing the dealership was closed otherwise a salesman would surely try to talk me into taking one of these bad boys for a spin (and I probably would have gone, too). This brought back memories of my old gear head buddies from high school who had some pretty cool cars. My friend, Stoney, had the baddest ride in town; a cherry 1976 Camaro with chrome mags and awesome headers. It was the car the entire school envied. It was bitchin' fast!

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

I just got very tempted to buy a new car. "Yes honey, a Dodge Charger is a very good family wagon" :)

@Gnarf: If she shutters at the thought of a Charger as being too impractical, there's always the Dodge Magnum...a practical wagon that can really haul a** and set the highway on fire (he says with his best Tim Allen grunt). But you had better take out a second mortgage to pay for the gas!
