Default RE: Why are we in love with the Challenger?

I was a kid when the musclecars were in their heyday.... my Dad worked as a service manager at a Dodge dealer; I couldn't wait for September to check out the latest offerings, even though it would be several years before I could even drive. By the time I finally got my liscense in '74, the musclecar era was on it's last legs. It was a big disappointment, but I obviously never lost that passion for the cars themselves. It's unfortunate that the greedy baby boomers got in the act and have been squeezing out the guys like us from the market who have the true love and passion for these cars, because they have the fat bank accounts and want to add a 'toy' to their investment portfolios. Too many of the owners of the most desirable cars nowadays never drive them- they are just watching the values rise so they can cash in on them.
