Gotta have the side stripe. Why? Because while my '70 originally was Plum Crazy, as my new one will be, it had a black vinyl top. Believe it or not, that combination actually looked a lot better than solid-Plum-Crazy cars. After all, a little purple goes a long way and you really need something to break it up -- especially since the new Challenger lacks the chrome accents of the iconic model.

By the way: We need to start a poll on whether people who refer to the Challenger as a "Chally" should be:

1. Beaten with a belt

2. Horsewhipped

3. Tarred and feathered

4. Taken out and shot

In the '70s, you could have suffered any of these fates for demeaning the legendary name like that.
