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.

Yeah, they imported the Holden Monaro, then let the GM designers snooze their way through styling it ....

The new concept Camaro is, theoretically at least, a new design from the ground up on a clean sheet of paper. GM being GM, I have considerable skepticism that it'll actually make it to market in that form.

Yeah I've seen some pictures of the new Camaro concept. I do like the muscular look that sets it apart from the Corvette and the grill is somewhat reminiscent of the old Super Sports. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
