Looking forward to the first burn out and dusting a few sacrificial Chevy's and Fords.
Fred, working on learning to de-hoard. Just sold this 68 Dart GT convertible. I owned it for 23 years...was tough seeing it go.
Clean little car, One repaint, all original except for the rallye wheels (which are incorrect as they first came out in 1970) and I upgraded the rear diff to a 8 3/4" posi. Factory red car with black buckets and console. Pwr steering and pwr brake car...was a great driver. I was 24 years old when I bought it...wow, time flies when your having fun!

Dave you're just replacing an old MOPAR for a new one-hardly decluttering. Now how about the new e-car Elon Musk has announced the new all wheel drive, dual motor Tesla going to 60 in 3.2 sec. No roar, no tire burn or lane hopping either. All for $120K http://time.com/3491046/tesla-model-s-elon-musk/

I see Tesla cars on the road weekly around here. I have a couple customers who have them. A free power charge station was installed in Whistler this past summer.

Trent the new model is the P85. You are seeing the current model "S" type that is available driving around Van. With the new stations strung along the west coast a local buddy with a S model is planning on doing a trip from Calgary to LA this spring/summer. I wished him good luck and patience. Dave you'll need to check the P85 out. It should compete, speed wise, with your new Hell Cat

Great cars - incredibly quick. The P85D is pretty close to HellCat with 690 HP - 3.2 seconds to 60 and 11.8 quarter mile - And made in America!

First 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Auctioned For $825,000.00 (The car actually raised $1.65 million for charity as the high bid was matched dollar for dollar by another donor.) The last 50th anniversary Mustang was auctioned off at the same auction and it could only muster up a $170,000.00 high bid. Seems like the Mopars are pulling in the money again...(most expensive 70's muscle at $3.4 million 71 Hemi Cuda conv. at Mecum). http://www.automobilemag.com/features/ne...ed-for-825000/?

This is the most insane car…I have ever driven. I’ve owned and driven some pretty fast cars….or so I had thought.
This is a scary car…no man likes to admit this, but, it tamed me…I was intimidated. I jumped in it, pulled out of my driveway built up the speed to about 70 KM and stomped on it and it spun the wheels loose and fish tailed. From that moment on, I had the perfect combination of adrenaline rush and fear in my heart and it had earned my respect. There’s a traffic light at the end of my street , there was no way I was going to push it hard around that turn. I cleared the turn and floored it, or should I say it floored me. From that light to the next light I had it up to 260 KM just like that from one red light to the next.
It is unbelievably quick. I find it hard to believe that anyone can walk into a Chrysler dealership and buy one…scary thought.
Best $100,000.00 anyone will ever spend on a car.
