Was that the one with the top fuel dragster and the guy pops the chutte at the stop light? :lol:

I thought it was pretty funny also.

That's the one.

My favorite is when he says, "I got somethin' you don't got!"

My latest addition is a '67 VW bug. I'm still looking for that Challenger 440 4speed. :steering:

Hey Dude, let me know if you need a parts car for your 67 VW. I have a 72 with an auto tranny for sale. I friend of mine has a 72 Challenger, 440 with an auto.


As for that commercial it is one of my favorites, posted about the other day. :)

Thanks, but unfortunately, the '67 bug is a lot like the '68 Corvette with a lot of one year only parts. I also didn't make the mistake of buying a project this time. :D :cheers:

OK OK ... "hate" was probably too strong a word. I love cars, especially muscle cars of the late '60s. And, as a child of the '70s, I have a strong affinity for a particular Orange Charger. However, I've been a Corvette fan first and foremost my whole life.

Regardless, I laugh my butt off everytime I see that knucklehead pull up in the dragster. He reminds me of some of the guys you see at car shows.
Some kid looked under my hood at a show on sunday and upon seeing my "350 Turbo-Fire" decal, remarked to his buddies "Wow a 350 with a turbo! I bet this car hauls butt!"

That guy in that commercial reminds me of a guy that used to drive a GTX in my town. The car was cool the driver wasnt. Mopar made some great cars.
