New Muscle at the Auto Show

[Burd]

One year out freight was delayed up north in the weather, so we were on the clock, ahad nothing to do. I had my lead guy take us junk Yarding. I found a 3/4” sway bar and formula steering wheel I had leather wrapped. Getting paid to junk yard, priceless. Good times. Someone stepped in some kind of dog shit, the rental car stunk all week. Lmao.
The IX center is an awesome complex, built Tanks during the war I was told. The place is just huge.

Yes it was a tank plant during the war. It is a nice facility.

I've recently thought of picking up an early Challenger, one of the original 2008-2009 Hemi Orange ones, but dang, they are pricey for being an 11 or 12 year old car. Most that I've seen are still in the $20K range. For that price, it just doesn't make sense to get one when you can get a 20-teen Camaro SS or GT/5.0.

The IX Center at Cleveland Hopkins Airport was originally a B-24 Liberator bomber plant during WWII. It became a Tank plant following WWII. I also went to the Auto? Show this year. Highly disappointed. It should be renamed the SUV or Crossover or Pickup Truck Show in the future. Very few cars there, with the exception of the Imports that will be taking over that sector of the industry. Bye,Bye GM, Ford, & Chrysler! The foreign companies would not be tooling up for autos if they were not viable. I predict the foreign manufacturers will start building larger cars to fill the void and needs of some people.

Don, did you happen to see the 100 thousand dollar Lincoln Navigator?? It was in the back corner of the facility..

LOL

Rich: No, I did not see the 100K Lincoln Navigator. I did however see a LOT of overpriced vehicles, though. Who can afford these? I paid 110K for my house in Westlake with a 25 yr. mortgage payment. Is that's what it's coming to for a vehicle purchase? SHEESE! Don.

In Detroit a year or two ago, they had that expensive Lincoln in a plush room, was that one the same? During Press it was a pretty cool room.

Challenger is great if you like a fat/heavy car that's only fast in a straight line. Camaros of any comparable trim will run circles around one.

I like the inside dimensions of the Challenger and the room it offers but as a former owner of one, I can confidently say that it's a pile of shit compared to the 6th gen Camaros.
