RE: Chrysler unveils Challenger, bets ‘muscle’ image will trump gas fears
One major difference between this era and that of the original Challengers (aside from the fact that the 1970s was a LOT better, mainly because I was a LOT younger) is that while gasoline prices are indeed going up, there currently are no gasoline SHORTAGES at the pump. PLENTY of gas is out there -- it's just costing more. In the '70s, the real concern was that often, it was -- at best -- difficult just to GET gasoline, let alone the rising price.
