Shit Box Dodge

From Some AP news report…
Chrysler will file for bankruptcy after talks with a small group of creditors crumbled just a day before a government deadline for the automaker to come up with a restructuring plan, President Barack Obama said Thursday. Chrysler will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York, giving Chrysler time to galvanize a partnership with the Italian car maker Fiat Group SpA….

Well for one thing I didn’t know they were still in business? How many BAD BOY Dodge station wagons with 20″ rollers can you sell? Fiat that sounds like a mess.The PT Cruiser, done, so what else? Charger? Nope, not unless it is from the Dukes of Hazzard. Maybe the New Challenger? Ok that one is nice! So they make one car and I’m not going to get into the old / odd looking trucks. Didn’t they make a Tank for the Government a few years back, is that still in production? I think I have more questions then comments or answers.

Put a Dodge in your garage as they say…

And for the record I do like the Blues Mobile – and a fitting quote from the Blues Brothers  “I don’t believe it it’s that shitbox Dodge again”  I sill like the Plymouth Branding, but long gone.

    After looking at the picture it makes me really want to watch the Blues Brothers again. The seen where they jump the bridge, the mall scene, car chase in Chicago!

    I’ll admit it, I drove a Shit Box Dodge for a long time, and yes it was a 440, but it was during the smog era so out of 440 inched engine it made about 200hp or so. I did flip the air filter over and the Thermoquad did make a cool crowd pleasing sound when floored :)
