Whims and insights

[unixronin]

So, any of my readers who are auto enthusiasts probably remember the Dodge Challenger.  You're probably also aware that Dodge is muttering and mumbling not-quite-promises about building a new Challenger.

If built, the new Challenger will be built on the LY platform, a shortened, 116-inch-wheelbase variant of the 120-inch-wheelbase LX platform on which the current Charger is built.  Word is that, again if built, it would most likely hit dealerships in 2008 as a 2009 model (by which time it's even possible I might be able to afford one).  They say it'll look something very like this.

(Yes, it'll have a Hemi.)

(Please stop drooling now.)

And that spurred another thought today, that just sort of came out of nowhere.  It would be necessary, should I obtain such a car, to get personalized plates on it.  And I have a very specific plate in mind.

It would look something very like this....

Update:  Thanks to yndy for pointing me at the Acme License Plate Generator, which does a much faster and better job than my original relatively-crude Gimp effort.

Re: Challenger

Specifically, it's the mission designation of the final flight of Challenger, in 1986 .... the one they didn't survive.

The moral of which is, when the engineers say "Don't fly, it's not safe", you DON'T FUCKING FLY.
